Hi,
So sorry to hear about your horrible situation. I have been on 3 monthly Decapeptyl for around three and half years and that along with the diagnosis have played havoc with my emotions. I haven’t become violent or hell to live with but have sought help with it. What does your husband think about seeking help? It can’t be much fun for him either.
What I did was talk it over with my consultant followed by a long chat with my GP. She referred me to the the psychiatric team. I then saw a psychiatrist and a CBT practitioner which resulted in an increase in my dosage of Sertraline and some CBT sessions. Never a mention of changing from Decapeptyl but Consultant did say he would rather not take me off it though.
I have also been practicing mindfulness meditation for sometime now. I can’t say life is now a bowl of cherries but I feel as if I am now doing something about it which I find helpful. That and a loving, caring wife.
I hope you can both find some relief
Dave
Additionally my consultant said it wasn’t just the effects of Decapeptyl causing it.
