How long do the side effects of Lupron/Eligard last?

I want to thank everyone for the comments. It seems there are core side effects we all experience and the severity is different for each one of us. My two that have been the most aggravating are the hot flashes accompanied by the profuse perspiration and the belly fat. The libido packed its bags and left, for how long I don't know but definitely fled the scene. My last six month lupron/eligard injection was on June 19, 2023 and any lessening of side effects now (Feb 4th, 2024) has not been noticed. I only wished I had elected to go with the pill because I understand its actions cease immediately when you stop taking it but I don't know how long it takes for the testosterone to make a comeback. Perhaps someone who has taken the pill (I forget the name of the medication, thus the "pill") can comment on how long it took before cessation of side effects was noticed. At the end of this month I will have my first PSA and testosterone level done since stopping the ADT.
Best of luck to all on this journey.

Orgovyx

I had a 4 mos course of Orgovyx.

Took a good 4 mos to substantially wear off (95%)
