| 3 | Endometriosis | Vomiting, severe mood swings, angry, emotional, bloating, constipation. | F | 52 | 9 years 10.8 1X O | 7/13/2020 | 4 | Fibroids n heavy bleeding | Really bad headaches, loss of appetite | Started 2wks ago on it n the bleeding has nearly stopped. Just bad headaches n not wanting to eat, good for weight loss lol hoping for miracles for my next 5 injections | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 6/10/2020 | 1 | Endometriosis | I just barely had the injection a week ago and I have the most severe headaches that I've ever had in my life. I get extremely dehydrated and I have the worst dizzy spells. It's only been a week!! | Ive never had an issue with depression and anxiety until a few days ago. I also get nauseated. If I would've done my research, I would've never ever taken this injection. | F | 40 | 8 days | 6/4/2020 | 1 | To shrink womb before ablation | Pain all over body, severe headaches and tinnitus that is driving me to the point of despair, insomnia, weight gain. The tinnitus is unbearable, I want to scream and am crying a lot . | F | 46 | 2 months 3.6 | 4/16/2020 | 4 | Pelvic pain | Nausea, severe dizziness and headache near beginning of treatment, worsening pain at start of treatment | I received Zolodex to establish whether a total hysterectomy would relieve my chronic pelvic pain. At first it was absolutely horrendous and I felt incredibly dispirited. Just over a week in the pain started to improve. Since then I have had a dramatic reduction in pain, I have more energy than I have had for years, my mood is improved and I find I am even thinking about the future again. I have one more Zolodex implant to go and then am having surgery, I am very satisfied (apart from the side effects). | F | 42 | 3 weeks 3.6mg | 2/22/2020 | 2 | Booby Cancer | Severe depression/ bone pain& swelling/ rubber tire belly/ chronic insomnia/ lots of weight gain/ lots of nausea & lots of vomit just randomly during my day/ panic and anxiety attacks over nothing/ mood changes in a flash/ and lastly, excruciating hot flashes like literally all f*kin day. | Here are my "additional comments:" Not only was my life completely altered at 21 w/ BC, but it literally took everything from me. From my womanhood, to my look on life. Zoladex f*ked it up worse too. I have so much social anxiety and I work in customer service. I can’t work FOH anymore since hot flashes just happen. I carry around a paper fan lol. I will go 26+ hours w/ no sleep & then sleep for 16 hours after. It’s ridiculous. I am so young to have lost this much to big pharma. Not to mention I have major osteoporosis now & I was always an athlete. RIP. that’s all. | F | 23 | 8 months | 2/19/2020 | 4 | Fibroids | Serious weight loss and hurting right ankles although now on calcivita drugs. | The fibroids have remarkably shrunk.i need to brave these side effects and complete my 3rd injection. | F | 45 | 48 days | 2/18/2020 | 2 | Severe endometriosis And Bowel | I feel like a totally different person. I’m anxcious, crying all the time, can’t concentrate. I am always a happy positive person but this has made me feel horrible. I will try it for 3 months and see. I need to ask my gynaecologist is it actually worth it and will it help me in the long run?? However bowel symptoms have settled as has heavy bleeding | I’ve had 2 laparoscopic surgeries and this is hopefully the final leg of the journey. | F | 25 | 6 months ? | 12/29/2019 | 1 | Breast cancer (6 years in remission) | Major depression, major anxiety, suicidal ideation, water weight, weight gain, insomnia, fevers, severe joint pain, hypersensitivity, type 2 diabetes | I lasted 5 months on this terrible stuff before I told my oncologist I'd rather have cancer again. He'd told me the side effects would go away, but they only got worse. The swelling in my hands still hasn't gone down, the diabetes and the anxiety is likely permanent, I still have bursitis in both my hips, and I haven't gotten under 210 pounds despite going to the gym 4-6 hours a week, eating low carb, and watching my calories. My first oncologist was dead set against ever putting me onto chemical menopause... my second oncologist suggested this stuff but never said chemical menopause, or I would have turned it down. Now I know why my first oncologist didn't want me on it... my pancreas is probably shot for life, and possibly my hip joints, too. I'm heartbroken and furious. I guess the cancer didn't do enough damage... | F | 34 | 5 months 30mg | 12/14/2019 | 1 | Endometriosis- severe | Severe chronic back pains in muscles and tendons, fatigue and depression. | I had back pains before taking this but they had gone for about a month. A few weeks after first injection I started getting such severe pains in the night I would wake up and not be able to move, breath or swallow without pain shooting through my pelvis and legs. I am now on a cocktail of drugs just to control the pain! Is this normal? Will it reduce? Not sure I can continue on it. | F | 45 | 2 months 3.6 | 12/1/2019 | 4 | Severe endometriosis - for 6 months | I’ve recently had a laparoscopy for endometriosis and when I woke up they said it was really severe I would need to have zolodex for six months and then another operation. The injection was not painful for me possibly because I was in pain from the op so I didn’t notice it as much? No real side effects I was tired anyway from the endo so not sure? I think I’ve started to get night sweats and I do feel quite anxious and not quite right personality but wise. | So far so good I’m due my next injection soon along with hrt to combat the symptoms so fingers crossed 🤞 . I have had a very heavy period for approx 7 days pain was manageable no worse than in the past | 39 | 20 days | 11/9/2019 | 3 | Endometriosis | Insomnia, hot flushes, no sex drive, aching muscles especially legs, pins and needles in hand's, painful breasts, severe anxiety and headaches. | This is my second time doing a 6 month course. The 1st time my side effects were no where near as bad as they are this time round and my periods and pain were worse than before I started the zoladex. This time round iv had 3 and I'm stopping them and trying another method I can't stand the anxiety anymore . | F | 33 | 6 months | 5/2/2019 | 2 | Severe endometriosis | At first I thought things were going good After 5 days of the injection I kept passing out (which I have never done before ) then day 8 heavy bleeding that lasted 7 days then 3 days not bleeding then bleeding again. 3 weeks after allergic reaction every day I wake up with hives it can be all over me or just on arms ,legs had swolen lips swolen eye currently having to take fexofenadine daily and loratidine just to help and still not properly. I have had foggy head and headaches every day for the past 3 weeks joints swelled up and twitching eye . Gynaecology are seeing me tomorrow to see what we can do as this thing is inside me for 3 month . Was suppose to be having one more injection 3 monthly one but I really dont think it's worth feeling like this . | F | 40 | 1 months Prostap 3 | 5/1/2019 | 3 | Severe endometriosis & ovarian cysts | Very bad headaches when I wake up in the morning Sharp pains and a burn sensation in my right ovary all the time.
