When my husband started Lupron last Fall, we were very worried that it would mean the end of our sex life. Since then he has completed 44 sessions of RT and gotten another Lupron injection. Now that we are a couple of months out from the end of RT, he is able to get erections with the help of Vitamin V. We had a very nice Valentine's Day!

I just thought I'd provide a glimmer of hope for those who might need it. We do, however, know this may not last and we may eventually need to add Trimex to the equation. But for now we are pleasantly surprised.

Fantastic... I just started my Lupron journey and we are trying to keep things going. I know I feel the slow down on the desire and performance. Thanks for the encouragement. -JR

I'm just curious. What dosage of Lupron is your husband on and are you claiming that Vitamin V can stimulate a man's libido while he's being deprived of testosterone?

FoxRun . . . I'm not sure of actual dosage of Lupron. I just know that he first had a four month shot and then a few weeks ago he had a six month shot.

No, I'm not claiming that Viagra (what I call Vit. V) stimulates libido when you have no testosterone. I know my husband's desire is much reduced from what it was. But he does have a strong drive to continue to keep intimacy going and make things work and, for now, can get the required erection with the help of V. The best way I can describe it is that he has a strong mental desire as opposed to the hormonal or physical desire.

Sounds like mind over matter.....is he getting his T levels checked?

peanut, I know exactly what you mean and foxrun said it best, mind over matter. In my mind I want to keep things going, but I seem to rather do something else so I will talk to my wife and say, lets do this. There are times if my wife says lets do this, I have a better tingling to go. My T is <20 and Cialis is working for now.
