Zoladex - Tired, no appetite, nauseous, can’t function at work side affects

Hi

I have been diagnosed with adenomyosis via ultrasound and 3 days ago had my first shot of Zoladex (1st of 3 monthly shots), after a couple of hours I was spinning and thought I was going to pass out and be sick. I then took the HRT pill , but that have me massive headache so I had to go to bed and spent the rest of the weekend in bed.

It’s now day 4, I’ve stopped the HRT tablets on. Gp’s advice . I am not having any hot flushes or sweats etc but since the Zoladex implant I am constantly exhausted, I have no appetite and don’t want to eat anything , I feel nauseous, have awful Diarrhea (sorry) and feel totally spaced out

I went to work this morning but had to come home as felt totally ‘out of it’ and couldn’t concentrate at all

Struggling to deal with my three kids as well

Has anyone had hear side effects from Zoladex , that seem a bit different to what everyone else has experienced . If so how long do they last ? I’m not sure whether to have my second shot or not

Any help greatly appreciate
