I took Zoladex for 6mths quite a few years ago. Only got hot flushes,
mood swings but apart from that not much else. I can't say what the
pain was like at the first cycle after Zoladex as I was only free of
medication for about a month before I started taking the pill
continuously.
I hope all goes well for you.
