I am 29 and about to go zoladex monthly injections with arimidex. I have been in menopause with 24-7 hot flashes since October 2015. Hot flashes so severe I get heart palpitations and a bit dizzy. I live in South Florida. Today my oncologist said once I begin zoladex in a couple weeks it might stabilize my hot flashes not make them worse. Any input ladies?

Man-o-man, I hope he's right!! I had AC+T in 2014 and flashed wickedly for a solid year, then they kind of petered off over the next 6 months. I continue to test perimeno, so I began Zoladex last month. In my case, the heat is back on.
Probably this is the norm, but, perhaps starting Zoladex while you're at the height of flashing will produce the opposite effect. I'll knock my sweaty hand on some wood for ya.
