Hello, I had to stop taking Zytiga because I was having difficulty breathing. It started out as a small problem that was hardly noticeable. Eventually, I was afraid to get out of my chair. My blood pressure which had been steady at 122/77 had reached 155/95.
At this time I am not taking anything harmone therapy and my PSA number is 80. I was on Zytiga for approximately 6 months.

Thank you. Thus far I have not had either blood pressure or breathing problems, praise God. My PSA is riding between 5.0 and 8.0 at present. That is down from 80.0 or so a year ago. I suspect all that can change at any time. Good luck in your decision-making. If you can, please keep us informed of your decision and progress.
