Best wishes with your ongoing treatment.
I have a sister that was on Melatonin, initially the dosage wasn't working so the GP wrote a script for the Pharmacist to compound the Melatonin. Once she'd been on it for abt 3 months she was much better at sleeping and eventually weaned off!
As to Zoladex, I had the Zoladex injections, one every 4 weeks x 26 (2 years). Fortunately, my Oncologist passed it onto my GP to administer. The trick is to keep it to the day, every 4 weeks. I didn't have any side effects, so I hope you are the same. It was an injection in the abdomen area, left side and right side the following month. Left side sometimes I felt a little uncomfortable. As a result, the ovaries shrunk, and the need is no longer! GP always used a numbing spray first!
Hope you find the treatment path that suits and yes have all your meds checked to ensure that one or more isn't causing problems!
Take care
