Fox, as you probably know, everyone is different. One member here, think it might have been Behemond, not sure, had zero side effects. Others find it very tough.
I had hot flashes, but manageable, I would sweat, but no waking up in the middle of the night like some others. My Triglycerides went through the roof and I grew a belly which I’m still fighting to get rid of. Those were my only SE’s
My T, which was low normal at 322 before I started ADT, took a while to recover and still, 2+ years later is not back to where it was, it’s in the mid 200’s.
There is a new drug that is taken in pill form, that is being prescribed in lieu of Lupron, Relugolix.

Thanks Pratoman.....surprisingly, I'm not doing too bad and sometimes I'm not sure if my ailments are HM related or OA related and or simple aging. The only big notice for me is the face flushing after a few glasses of wine. I was also wondering if others were prescribed anything to makeup for the deficiencies from the lack of T?
And that is good news on the Relugolix, but I believe it's still in trial mode here in Canada.
