I was on Lupron and Casodex for about a month before adding Zytiga. I had all the typical ADT side effects--hot flashes and a general feeling of creakiness--but didn't really know what to attribute specifically to each drug I was taking. I guess it was pretty much cumulative in my case.
However, the Zytiga did give me minor liver inflammation. My doc ended up playing around with the dose and by reducing it to half, my liver bloodwork numbers were back to normal. So hopefully, there's some kind of monitoring going on in your case.
PS There was one bonus--I have a bad back and that actually hurt less when I started the Zytiga--most likely due to the prednisone that I was taking in conjunction with it.
