Yes, started with 3 months shot on Jan 24th, just over 3 weeks ago. Only recognized side effects this week. First, low-grade headache. Second, frequent urination, and for the last two days I've had very frequent and severe hot flashes. Enough that I haven't had much sleep. Requested meds for the hot flashes this AM. Good luck!

Not to derail the topic of this discussion (proton treatment), you can hop over to a discussion related to ADT and hot flashes. Check these out:
