Zoladex

[Xroisinellenx]

Hi, I have been on Zoladex for 5 months and now I seem to be getting a lot of side effects from it. I have at least one migraine a month, and all of a sudden I have started putting on loads of weight my diet has not changed but I have had to go up 2 dress sizes! Also I’m waking up in pain again.

I just need some advice on what to do please.

Hi

Probably can’t help much, I’ve only had two out of six. Have you spoken to GP or consultant about how you’re feeling? Side effects can be important.

Weight gain could be fluid retention. Do you think you’re drinking enough water? Would the migraine coincide with when you’d have normally had a period?

Just some thoughts, probably not much help.

Hope you’re feeling a bit better.

Zoladex has lots of side effects. I turned into an emotional wreck on mine. 6 months of night sweats, angry outbursts.......threw my lovely partner out a few times 😂. Rollercoaster of all sorts going on. Very shortly after I conceived first son so I suppose it was worth the pain, psychosis, weight gain etc. So not sure if I have anything to add to your question other than hang in there, it will pass and good luck 😆
