I have been on hormones since Aug 2014 & I am gonna complete 27 months on hormones. Off late I have been feeling very tired/lethargic. Sleepy in the morning. But the most abrurd thing happened when my head started spinning all of a sudden and it went on for a whole minute. Even when I closed my eyes it wouldn't stop. I tried lying down and it didn't work. It happened day before yesterday and it happened again yesterday. I called up my doctor and he's asked me to get a few tests done but I will only know by tom :/
Sounds like maybe ther is no T atall in your body, which is never good!
Are u on spiro? I get easily light headed when I was on spiro.

Sounds like side-effects from Spiro. It's important to drink lots of water and eat as much SALT as you crave! Avoid anything that has extra potassium.
does meniere's disease run in your family?

No i am on flutamide.
Flutamide is associated with liver toxicity. I'm assuming your doctor checks liver enzymes regularly. Bicalutamide, relative to flutamide, appears to be safer.
Arch Ital Urol Androl. 1999 Dec;71(5):293-302.
"As regard as pure antiandrogens clinically important adverse events including gastrointestinal events, particularly diarrhea and occasional disturbances of liver function related to flutamide treatment and antabuse effect, problems with light-dark adaptation and rare interstitial pneumonitis related to nilutamide indicates the bicalutamide, due to its better tolerability profile, together with its once-daily oral administration regimen, could be considered the antiandrogen of first choice"
Fertil Steril. 2012 Oct;98(4):1047-52.
"Hepatotoxicity is a rare but possible event using low- and ultralow-dose regimens of flutamide."
Urology. 1996 Jan;47(1A Suppl):70-9; discussion 80-4.
"Bicalutamide is a new antiandrogen that offers the convenience of once-daily administration, (...) and an excellent safety profile. Because it is effective and offers better tolerability than flutamide, bicalutamide represents a valid first choice for antiandrogen therapy"
