Are these headaches normal?

[Katt]

I am 2 weeks into my 1st prostap injection and I feel absolutely awful. I have many side effects but the worse one is horrendous headaches that are leaving me nauseas and dizzy. I have had a headache for a week now. Is it normal to have headaches this bad after prostap? None of my pain killers are getting rid of them and I am getting pretty low.

Hi, I had awful headaches too at the start, but they gradually wore off. xx

The headaches for me are the worst part of Prostap/Zoladex treatment, I completely sympathise with you.

As Sarah said, they do wear off for some people - but I hate to have to tell you that they last all the way through the six months for me. I did find however that for some reason, I am better on Zoladex than Prostap.

Go back to the doctor and ask them to prescribe you something else for the headaches and sickness, but otherwise, it is a recognised side effect

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help, and good luck x

Are you taking HRT alongside your Prostap? I suffered terribly with the side effects of Prostap; so I went to the GP and I was perscribed Livial. The headaches soon went!
