Zoladex and severe anxiety/brain fog

[Spangalow07]

Hi all. I had my first Zoladex injection last month (due my second next week) and I wonder if anyone has any tips on managing anxiety/brain fog? I am really struggling as in a high pressure work environment and feeling as though I cannot keep up with what is going on around me. I have never really suffered with anxiety before but today I was dealing with month end invoicing and I was physically shaking seeing emails coming in. When I do manage to keep up or hold meetings, I am struggling to think straight and get my words out in the right order. I feel as though I am going mad and people are starting to notice me acting out of character.

Has anyone had similar and any tips/supplements that helped with this? I expected some side effects but these are really causing so much stress in an already stressful job and i'm feeling a little down about it.

I'm having a chat with my HR BP about this next week as my company are actually listed as an Endometriosis friendly employer and my manager has been nothing short of horrible to me this past week, my GP has signed me a fit note to say I will be working amended duties (staying working from home until the end of my 6 months treatment, taking longer breaks etc), but this has not stopped her piling the pressure on.

Thanks as always x

Hi I had zoladex two years. It helped a lot with endometriosis symptoms but the instant plunge into being menopausal was hard. I had night sweats hot flushes terrible mood swings anger irritability tears. You make it. It’s vital you take add back therapy (HRT) at the same time. I didn’t in the beginning but I started Livial and it helped alot. Hope you soon feel better. The sore injection site and bruising was not nice either but it’s great for halting endo pain.
