Just a quick question for you knowledgeable people on this Forum. OH has been on 3 monthly Zoladex implant since June last year. We are beginning to see a pattern forming, between 3 days to a week before it is due his sweats are more severe. Just wondering if anyone else is or has experienced this side effect. Regards and best wishes.

I suspect that this depends on the person, because my how sweats are more pronounced a couple of weeks after the injection.
Then there seems to be a stabilisation and a downturn - or, perhaps, I get used to them. I can't work out which of those it is.

Changed, but not diminished.
Hello Majestic
Mine were bad and very unpredictable - but as I have said before Sage Tablets cured mine - it took about 10 days to kick in but once I was on them I never had another flush - sadly they don't work for everyone.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hello
My LH experienced a similar pattern when having monthly Degarelix injections. A week before the next was due he would have more intense hot flushes & feel more emotional. He is in the 5th week of 3 monthly of Prostap instead now. (Oncologist changed this just before 1st chemotherapy) He only has an occasional hot flush with no pattern we have identified yet.

However, I nearly always have a hot flush while cleaning my teeth in the evening with my electric toothbrush, often making a right old mess as I attempt to strip off an unwanted layer at the same time .....
