What Are The Side Effects Of Stopping Casodex?

I have been taking casodex for about a year for a high psa count. My prostate was removed 20 years ago for prostate cancer. My psa level shot up last year t0 27.9. My oncologist put me on casodex and now he says I can stop it for a couple of months to see if my psa count stays down it was 0.74 yesterday. Are there any side effects from stopping casodex suddenly?
