Today I started Prostap 3 for 3 months . The instructions merely say Fatigue is quite common. Would anybody like to enlarge on that with frequency and duration.

    Hi Oldtimer,

    Mad as it may sound no one here can say for certain what you will experience with regards fatigue. Whilst fatigue is a side effect of Prostrap 3, each person responds differently to the drug. It’s severity, and frequency will be unique to you. It’s a case of wait and see.

    Personally, whilst I was working, I’d be tired by 7.30 pm most nights. When I first started hormone therapy, I’d be tired at different points in the working day. Now I’ve stopped working, I find I’m fatigued about 3 in the afternoon, or between 7 and 8 in the evening. It really does vary, from person to person.

    Best wishes

    hi, My husband started prostap  4 months ago. Fatigue hasn`t been a problem. for the first two /three months hot flushes were a nuisance, and emotional  episodes were upsetting ,sore nipples are a bit troublesome, He has to be on the Prostap for 6 months and then  he will start radio therapy. Hope this info helps.

    Regards Carol

  • I did get some fatigue while I was on prostrap 3.  I had 3x3 month injections altogether before starting RT and after the last injection still got some side effects fir about 9 - 12 months afterwards.  I continued as normal all the way through my HT and RT going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week doing circuits or as they now seem to call it cross fit training. This seemed to help with the fatigue and all the other side effects.  On the days I didn't go tot he gym I walked in the fresh air as I always find this good for the body and good for the brain.  Hot flushes are annoying especially at night.  Though I have to say I never got them as bad as my wife does and still does - mine went away eventually but she still has hers poor thing!  I was 72/73 at diagnosis and starting treatment and will be 76 towards the end of this year.  Post treatment my PSA has kept low and I have tried my best to keep fit.  However, being diagnosed with a heart problem just 6months post radiotherapy stirred up a can of worms and I lost my fitness so am working hard to get back to somewhere like I was before though as you get older this does get harder and some things are just not attainable.  Also, I am waiting for a replacement knee op which I will have at the end of August so this doesn't help as I cannot exercise to the extent I used to.  I do hope your husband gets through all his treatment with the minimum of problems and that his treatment is as successful as mine.

    Allt he best
