Woah Nath! I had never heard of this drug before, but I am very nervous about it. It is a medication given for prostate cancer. It reminds me of Lupron, as far as the side effects go. This was taken of the net....

The following side effects have been reported by at least 1% of people taking this medication. Many of these side effects can be managed, and some may go away on their own over time.

Contact your doctor if you experience these side effects and they are severe or bothersome. Your pharmacist may be able to advise you on managing side effects.

More common:

impotence reduced (or increased) sexual interest swelling of the breasts or breast soreness Less common or rare (0% to 10%)

changes in walking and balance clumsiness or unsteadiness hair loss inability to move legs or arms increased sensitivity of skin to sunlight increase in bowel movements and loose stools loss of strength or energy skin bleeding, blistering, coldness, or discoloration unusual increase in hair growth weight gain Although most of the side effects listed below don't happen very often, they could lead to serious problems if you do not seek medical attention.

Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:

Less common or rare (0% to 10%)

abdominal pain or tenderness back pain blisters blurred vision chest pain chills clay colored stools confusion cough depression dizziness drowsiness dry mouth fainting or light-headedness when getting up fast heartbeat hallucinations hives increase in blood pressure increase in hunger and/or thirst lower back or side pain nausea and vomiting

painful or difficult urination red, thickened or scaly skin shortness of breath skin rash sores, ulcers or white spots on lips or in mouth sore throat stiff neck stomach ache swollen and painful glands tightness in chest unexplained weight loss unusual bleeding or bruising vision changes wheezing yellow eyes or skin

Get immediate medical attention if any of the following side effects occur:

Less common or rare (0% to 10%)

bloody or black, tarry stools or blood in urine irregular breathing pains in chest, groin, or legs, especially calves of legs puffiness or swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes, face, lips, or tongue seizures sudden and severe weakness in arm and/or leg on one side of the body sudden loss of coordination sudden slurred speech temporary blindness

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS... WHY IS YOUR DOCTOR GIVING YOU THIS? HAVE YOU STARTED TAKING IT YET???
