This is confusing, its been well almost 18 months since stopping zoladex went for my biannual checkup, I was floored when I read my results and so was my oncologist. My ( T) jumped to almost 500 and my PSA was0.01.
I thought I would have a lot more energy and libido, but there's nothing. Iam feeling tired all the time and john henry is still content looking at the floor. Any one else going through this. And no I haven't been do hrt.

My last ADT shot was November 2015, my T has not yet recovered and I am also tired and "staring at the floor"

My oncologist was totally baffled with the rapid rise of T, said he never seen this happen, regardless I would think being this high I would be feeling alot better than I am. I'm thinking maybe my adrenal system maybe went into over drive or something and now I'm experiencing adrenal fatigue. I haven't had time to book an appointment with my GP yet but it does have me concerned. My understanding was the amount of time your on ADT ,you can expect your system to take the same amount of time to recover if not longer.@maldugs I felt the same way towards the end taking Modafinil really helped me get through my work day.
@AlanB5 how long were you on, it hopefully in the months to come you will start feeling a little better ,I also and still take a supplement called Ashwagandha for adrenal support, I found it helped with the fatigue a bit but the modafinil was the ticket I don't think I could have continued working with out it. And Gabapentin worked really well on minimizing my hot flashes it doesn't work for everyone how your wired I guess. Hoping you both start feeling better soon. The new normal really sucks.
