Hi @ben789, I moved your question about side effects from Zoladex such as rash, depression and fatigue to this existing discussion:
- Effects of Zoladex: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/effects-of-zoladex/
I did this so you can read the previous posts and connect with other members like @bodeygolfer @jap57 @tassieb @neil27 and @melcanada.
Ben, the legs getting hot and the itchy rash sound like it might be an allergic reaction. Did you report your symptoms to your oncologist or symptom management nurse?

When I reported to my oncologist he was quite surprised that my rash was so bad, he expected some rash but not like I had. He also wasn’t surprised by my legs getting hit but that only lasted fo a few hours.
For my rash I used Cavilon barrier cream made by the 3M company. When I started using that the itching went away in a very short time and in a few days my rash was almost all gone. I had to order it on Amazon since no stores around here carry it.
I am getting another shot tomorrow so I will see how the reaction goes then.
