Thanks for all the above. Most helpful.
My last Lupron shot was 1/4/24.
Paroxetine 40mg has helped reduce the hot flashes intensity and frequency a bit. And glad of it.
Now, my fatigue has subsided about 50% but hot flashes continue about the same. I love the 4 fans with remote switches I have placed in the house where I usually sit or sleep (and sometimes I carry a little 'pocket' fan to events).
Question for "northoftheborder", am I correct that you ended Lupron in 2021 and your hot flashes continue???
My onco said they will subside slowly but it goes slower with age. I'm 77 now and even having them reduced as they are I'd be way more happy to be done with them!
Thank you all for your candid info!

No. that's probably another poster. I was on Firmagon+Apalutamide from October 2021 (mCSPC), then switched to Orgovyx+Apalutamide a bit over a month ago. So far my PSA remains undetectable (< 0.01), down from 67 in 2021. I've also had debulking surgery to my spine and two rounds of radiation (spine and prostate).
