This has been a miracle drug for me so far; been using it for just a couple of months with prednisone twice a day and it has dropped my PSA level down from over 400 to just 7.2 in less than 2 months without any side effects.

My father in law has been taking Zytiga for 12 days. Tonight we asked the hospital staff to stop the drug as he has been miserable since taking them. In fact he has begged to come of them but he was encouraged to keep trying. He is 80 and diagnosed 2 years ago with prostate cancer. Since taking them he has been bed- ridden (almost immediately after taking first dose). He experience severe hot flashes, sweating, lack of energy, no appetite, confusion(not characteristic of him). His also complained that that his head felt muddled all the time. It's a shame that it has not worked for him. Yes PSA level reduced but NO quality of life for him.
