How long have you left to run on hormone therapy?
If you're seeing cyclic side effects with the injections, I might be a bit worried they aren't working for you for the full 12 weeks, and a Testosterone test just before the next injection might be a good idea.
You could ask to try Prostap or Decapeptyl instead. Some areas only make one of the 3 drugs available, and some surgeries often switch to the cheapest at any moment.
Another option might be to switch to 4-weekly Zoladex - it has less of an initial dosing spike. (The drug works out cheaper, but when you add in the cost of 2 extra nurses appointments every 12 weeks, it's overall more expensive.)
Yet another option if you are on time-limited hormone therapy might be to switch to Bicalutamide tablets. It's not as effective, but has fewer side effects.
