I absolutely did, Gary. As I have posted before, Orgovyx made me a sweeter, less anxious person. I could actually feel that during treatment; always wondered why I wasn’t feeling depressed like everyone else on ADT!
About a month after stopping I became more anxious, less tolerant and more judgmental. Screaming at the TV was back in my life, as well as cursing the headlines, the weather, the country, etc..
I could see in my wife’s face the horror of “Oh no….he’s back”
So I sat down with her and explained that the Orgovyx took away all my T, my aggression if you will. And the re emergence of it was affecting me. Others can disagree, but I know ME.
Hopefully it is one of those rubber band-like things that rebound in the other direction until the brain gets used to the new higher octane fuel. I’m having my first T test next week and will know the actual number.
In any event, just knowing this and openly talking with my wife about it has made me - and her - more aware of my emotional state. I now think before I yell and reconsider before bitching about whatever.
The other day, however, during Trump’s appearance on TV during the stock market meltdown, I completely lost it, cursed him, Congress, Musk, my broker, my cats…I was nuts!
My wife laughed and said, “Want to start that Orgovyx again?”
She might have something there…😳
