Zoladex moods

[Bells1912]

Hello,

I am on my second lot of Zoladex injections whilst waiting for surgery, I have been on them for 11months now which scares me a little as I know they are only licensed for 6 months but having such a long break from periods has been incredible!

However, these past few months I have noticed a change in my personality. I can't cry!! I love a good cry but I just feel numb all the time, I can maybe shed a tear and that's it, has anyone else experienced this? I also get irritated incredibly easily and find myself wanting to avoid certain social situations. I have suffered with anxiety and depression in the past but this feels different, its as if I have no emotions! Maybe I am overthinking it but thought I would ask!

Also, is anyone else experiencing the worst waiting list experience yet?? I only have one injection left that was meant to cover me until surgery yet I have heard nothing, I even chased this up with my consultant secretary and she informed me they had bumped me up the queue but still nothing!

Thank you in advance! <3

Hi , like you , I have been told that this is the last Zoladex injection I can have as I have been on it for 6 month , I am also on HRT to help with the side effects , I was originally told that my surgery would be at the end of March beginning of April but still no appointment and I have been constantly chasing but still nothing , I understand the NHS is understaffed but that is not our fault we just want some relief without having to worry about side effects that could be doing more harm than good - hopefully you get your surgery soon

I had zoladex for two years with HRT, ask if you can continue with HRT if you want to.
