Lifting weights while on ADT: hitting a wall?

I started ADT last September, I have hot flashes, mood swings, and sudden fatigue. But, I continue to lift weights (very intensely) 4 days a week, this is the only thing that helps me feel normal. I can say that the side effects have decreased and are of short duration, but they are still there. I also walk 5 miles every day, even if I do not feel like it, I do it anyway and feel better afterwards. As far as the weight lifting, I have actually increased most of my lifts since starting ADT. I think it is more mental than testosterone! Hang in there

I think you nailed it, "I also walk 5 miles every day, even if I do not feel like it, I do it anyway and feel better afterwards."
I'm a month in on Lupron and do 4 spinning classes a week, mountain biking as weather allows and weight lifting. I always feel better once I get into it. Pushing away from the easy chair is critical. But man, I wake up tired.
