| 1 | Chronic fatigue, weakness, severe leg pain can barely walk, all over pins & needles. Abdominal pain. | Wasn't told not to use if have spine problems, had 2 resent cervical spine ops!! | F | 56 | 8 days 1X M | 5/5/2016 | 1 | Prostate Cancer | Severe moods swings. Suicidal at times. No libido. Low energy. | Try to avoid if possible. This is not the way to live, I'm told there is no option if I want to live. Not too sure about wanting to live though. | M | 70 | 1 years 10.8mg 1X O | 4/14/2016 | 1 | Endometriosis | Extreme joint and bone pain, confusion, very weak legs, tiredness, felt outside my body. | I will never go near Zoladex again! I refused the 5th injection due to the severe joint pain and inflammation in my ankles and knees. I could barely walk and had to stop all my exercise which was helping with the endo. I am now on strong anti inflammatories which are the only things that help the pain and hopefully it will start to improve at some point. Taking painkillers for endo was way better than this, at least I could still walk and exercise. Side effects caused me to take time off work which endo didn't. Hate this drug! | F | 43 | 4 months 1 X month | 4/7/2016 | 3 | ovarian suppression | F | 42 | 1X M | 3/18/2016 Patient History | 4 | Breast Cancer ER positive | Fatigue, joint soreness, skin sensitivity, daily hot flushes | Need to take this drug after recurring cancer, will do whatever needs to be done to keep the cancer at bay. Seems less problematic for me than tamoxifen which I took for almost 2 years before cancer recurrence. | F | 47 | 1.3 years 3.6 1X M | 3/6/2016 | 1 | Endometriosis | Hot flushes, headaches, joint pain, tiredness.weight loss. | I have been off zoladex for 7mths and i still have severe pain in my joints and my bones also unbearable pressure in my lower back. If i'd have known this i would have refused zoladex altogether. I have had hysterectomy so for now the endometriosis is no more. | F | 40 | 9 months | 2/11/2016 | 1 | endometriosis | extreme fatigue, weakness, tiredness | F | 31 | 4 months 360 1X M | 2/9/2016 | 1 | ER positive breast cancer | Immediate reaction at injection site. Redness & swelling. Migraines, nausea & joint pain followed & then excessive weight gain. Exacerbated lymphedema. | Zoladex should not be manufactured. | F | 48 | 3 months 3mo.ER | 2/9/2016 | 1 | Autoimmune Progesterone Dermatitis | I had one injection to cover 3 months. Injection was delivery end of March '15, should have run out, I have still to have a period - worried this may have permanently thrown my menses out. | Was only informed of symptoms lasting UP TO 18 MONTHS after being injected, horrified that this isn't explained before treatment | F | 31 | 1X M | 1/13/2016 | 4 | Breast Cancer | Severe hot flashes, severe insomnia, join pain, short memory loss, weight gain. | It's difficult to rate this drug satisfied or very satisfied. I guess one can rate it " satisfied" if it stops estrogen production which feeds into cancer but the side effects are brutal. Definitely a burden on the day to day activities. Sometimes, it feels unbearable. | F | 46 | 4 months 1X M | 12/12/2015 | 3 | stage 1 endometriosis | i started bleeding after 1st inj and now its day5 but bleeding is not stoping.i m experiencing increase in weight😕 | F | 30 | 1 times 3.6mg | 11/4/2015 | 4 | Endometriosis | Hot flushes,muscular and joint pain,hair loss,weight gain,darkening of skin,short term memory loss,back pain,light headedness | It helped with endo pain although now it has returned | F | 29 | 6 months | 10/31/2015 | 4 | Shrink fibroids | Hot flushes, nausea, weakness, fatigue, depression, vaginal dryness and no sex drive. | Hot flushes, increasing towards the night time. I found that towards the end of the monthly treatment, the side effects would worsen and the hot flushes became more frequent. I experienced nausea and weakness some days. I often felt fatigued. I experienced depression, vaginal dryness and no sex drive. Despite the side effects, the treatment is working (shrinking the fibroids) and I am glad I did it instead of going for surgery. I would say the side effects are bearable. | F | 28 | 3 months 3.6mg 1X M | 10/27/2015 | 5 | Prostate cancer | Not much to be honest. A few palpitations now and then and some slight therno-regulation problems when exercising hard. weight has been remarkably steady for four months now with judicious dieting and exercise. Maybe I have it all to come after such a short time but it must have had an effect as PSA dropped from 11 (it was never that high) to less than one within four weeks. Stage T3B N0 M0 and Gleason 8. Just happy to be alive and functioning well. Back at work and mentally good. (i believe the effect of the Zoladex had a positive effect on my mental health.) Think of the alternative with a locally invasive aggressive tumour that is inoperable. Live every day as if it is your last as I have done for the last 40 years | I combined my Androgen deprivation treatment (ADT) with daily hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) breathing pure oxygen at 2.4 ATA for over one hour in a hyperbaric chamber. (Most tumours will thrive in hypoxic (low or lack of oxygen) conditions. I am CONVINCED that this combination has minimised any side effects that are reported in the accompanying medical reviews. I recommend that, if you have access too such a facility, to try it! There is lots of emerging evidence to support such an adjuvant therapy in the management of many cancers including prostate cancers treated with radiotherapy. | M | 61 | 4 months 10.8 1X M | 10/19/2015 | 5 | Menstrual Migraines & long lasting Period | Hot flushes but on a ad back hrt patches. (Plus it's summer) NO MORE MIGRAINES OR HEADACHES!!! I feel normal again!!! No cramps, no periods, no swelling amazing. | I nearly didn't do this as I read the side effects but my Dr said try it, so I trusted him and boy am I glad I did. In 5 months my migraines have virtually gone only 1 last month? Compared to 20+ I am now having a full hysterectomy In 1 month and staying on the ad back hrt patches. Scary but I haven't worried about my head in ages fingers crossed the hysterectomy is just as good. | F | 37 | 5 months | 9/13/2015 | 4 | Breast cancer ER Positive | Hot sweats, mental confusion, serious weight gain, constant hunger,fatigue,bone pain, little back pain, headaches Giving God thanks i am alive | Take this drug every 28 days, manageable side effects just- been nearly one year opting for the oomphectomy despite no issues . | F | 46 | 10 months 3.6mg | 9/4/2015 | 5 | Severe endometriosis, large ovarian | Hot flushes, night sweats, confused thoughts, acne, itching | Although I have had these side effects most of them ease as the month goes on but flare up on next injection. Still would rather this than being rushed into hospital for surgery every time I gave a period. On and off this and prostrap for over a year between ivf cycles and surgery. | F | 29 | 3 months | 9/3/2015 | 5 | Stage 4 Endometriosis | Hot flushes, vaginal dryness, some memory issues. | I have had one break through bleed but apart from that no periods at all. The one break through was during year three of the treatment and the pain was really bad. I am on this treatment long-term and I do not miss my periods or the pain at all. The side effects far outweigh the pain associated with this horrible disease. | F | 40 | 7 years 3.6mg 1X M | 8/16/2015 | 1 | HEAVY PERIODS | Hot flushes, blinding headaches, swelling hands and feet, not stopped bleeding since taking it | F | 36 | 1X M | 8/11/2015 | 5 | Severe Endometriosis | Bone pain , migraines . Obviously menopausal symptoms as this is the point of the implant. | While the implant is unpleasant it is by far better than the pain of endometriosis . It allowed me to function whilst waiting for my ovary to shut down for surgery . | F | 41 | 6 months 3.6mg inj | 8/4/2015 |
