Interesting. I am occasionally getting the light headed feeling when standing up
I didn’t know that was a side effect.
I’m on Orgovyx. Into the 7th week.
So far the side effects are :
Hot Flashes. Many per day. Avg about 2-3 per hour. Last about 3-4 minutes They are manageable
Constipation. Haven’t figured out yet how to manage this- just trying to hydrate more. I’m drinking a lot more water everyday.
Joint pain started. It’s affecting my workouts.
Pain in my left shoulder to the point where I can’t really work out like I was - I do chest press machine with a lot less weight now.
Occasional headache. Usually late in the day Not sure what is causing them.
Starting to get bloated around the middle - despite working out 4 days a week.
Fatigue. By 6:30 pm I’m usually done and now going to bed at 7 instead of 9 - but I get up at 0500 to make my radiation appts.
Looking forward to getting off this ADT stuff, but I understand the need to weaken the cancer

I am on my 11th week of taking Orgovyx. I had similar side effects and my doctor suggested that I take my Orgovyx and my Zytiga along with my prednisone at night when I get up to urinate. I’ve been doing that for nine weeks now and that has been helpful. I won’t say that it made them all go away but certainly lessened them. You may want to try that after asking your doctor first of course.

Good luck on your journey!
