Zoladex and feeling awful

Hi,

I had my 4th zoladex injection, which i am taking with tibolone last week. Im feeling so tired and awful, and was wondering whether this is a common experience?

Im so tired, when i get home from work i need to sleep, i have 2 young children to care for and i feel like im failing them.

Ive got to stay on the drugs until my hysterectomy, but have no date yet.

Does it get better?

I have been on zoladex since October last year I have had a few side effects such as hot flushes and I also sometimes feel sleepy and occasionally tearful for No reason but compared to how i felt before I had my first operation and being put on the zoladex it is nothing I can't cope with and I have been advised by my consultant that the only thing that is stopping my symptoms returning is the zoladex. I will remain in it until my next operation which I have no date for yet. Are you known to suffer headaches or migraines i ask this as I was prescribed tibolone but have not used it because that side effect and been told not really anything else they can give and to try and cope with the hot flushes.

Could it be the tibolone that is causing the effects or the zoladex try speaking to your GP.

Hi, yes it could possibly be the tibolone. I dont as yet have a date for my hysterectomy, so talking to my gp is probably a good idea. Cant imagine feeling so tired indefinitely...

Thanks for response x
