Decapeptyl SR experiences?

[ginger83]

Has anyone tried Decapeptyl SR? (triptorelin). I've been put on a 3mth course of it to see if it helps my endo.

Hi Ginger83,

I've had both this one and Zoladex. I found the Decapeptyl easier to cope with. Because it puts your body into a temporary menopausal state you'll get the normal symptoms such as hot flushes etc but these can be easily handled with a mild HRT such as Livial. You could also try a high strength starflower oil combined with primrose oil. Everybody is different so how your body takes it will probably be different to how mine took it, but I found it a god send once I managed the side affects. When you finish your course you may find it takes a little while for your periods to come back, but again every one is different. Make sure you research it on the net as you can find some really useful info and tips.

Good luck and I hope it works for you xxx
