  • Hi Bricki

    Ive been on Enzalutamide for a few years, when I first took it, it threw my head all over the place, so I told the team about this and my dosage was reduced to two, then steadily built back up to four. They still have effects on me, but I’m able to tolerate more easily now.

    Stay safe
