Experiences with

Dexamethasone

Hi Ladies When my double vision started and I had radiotherapy...I was given dexamethasone for three/four weeks and I felt so much fitter and my appetite improved I’ve now been taken off them and I feel awful..no energy or appetite and having thoughts of not carrying on with treatment especially if

So, is it possible that Dexamethasone can be used briefly right before getting the high testosterone injections? Can the Dexamethasone prevent the high testosterone injection from not working as it ought to?

I don't think it is related to Dexamethasone because I took Dexamethasone before and never experienced severe headaches like this.

Has anyone had success in changing from prednisone to dexamethasone? And if so how much longer did you get to stay on the Zytiga? Just wondering as I have read about many men changing to dexamethasone but I haven’t read success stories. Thank you!

My husband had to switch from prednisone to dexamethasone and Zytiga 3 months ago. The psa has made a steady decline . 9.3 ,4.9,and now 3.6. I’m wondering how others have done on this protocol? And is the fact he’s finally below 4.0 of any significance?

The endocrinologist has given me dexamethasone for a dexamethasone suppression test which I’m having this Friday, but I have NO CLUE why this is being given to me as I can’t find anything that dexamethasone is used to treat that could relate to me, and I don’t particularly want to take steroids as I’

Should I change abiratarone to enzaluatamide or should I just change Prednisone to dexamethasone and not changing abiratarone? What dosage of dexamethasone should he take as he used to have 5 mg Prednisone so should he take 0.5 mg dexamethasone or 1 mg.? Any other options available ?

Looks like my husband switching steroid is getting some traction! 9.4 down to 4.8 psa. How many months has anyone gotten on Zytiga using this protocol ?

Has anyone had experience with dexamethasone as to how long it may help him. Been on it for 8 weeks now Thank you

I have undergone 2 cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (RCD) chemotherapy. This alternative therapy was decided by treating Hematologist after discontinuing Ibrutinib due to intolerance.

Since I started Abiraterone the monthly PSAs 11.7 12.9 6.6 4.2 4.1 4.3 4.9 and the last from Monday is 5.2 I asked previous MO about switching to Dexamethasone and he said wouldn't hurt to try. Awaiting my Kaiser MO response Fight on Brothers Randy My pic from Lupron shot last Friday 😂

My dad’s PSA has been rising as he is on Zytiga, the doctor is switching him from prednisone to dexamethasone to see if the PSA stabilizes. Anybody had success with this switch? Is this a good route to go?

Article in the NY Times today [1]. Seems that if dexy is given before the body goes into mutual destruction mode - i.e. the cytokine storm - it can increase mortality risk. Makes perfect sense. We want to stimulate the immune system until the last moment & dampen it thereafter. (This was discussed
