Don’t know of it…but have you considered Orgovyx? I only took it for 6 months but the SE’s - although there- were very tolerable.

I have neither tried nor researched ORGOVYX to review side effects. Oncologist has not discussed the medication or suggested Orgovyx.
Based on the 10 side effects of Casodex and Eligard, I am hitting on 6 out of 10. Felt best when I stopped taking ADT and performed physical work. After 6 months of NO CASODEX or ELIGARD, PSA numbers increased rapidly. Returned to CASODEX then ELIGARD. Side effects most noticeable, joints painful, Lethargic, issues with sleeping. Don’t sleep well at night which could be caused by Kidney stone/Bladder issues which are a separate medical issue. I now only get up twice each night. There is long history of a sciatica issue. Since the operation to relocate the urethra there have been issues with sleep. Generally speaking after eating some moderate amount, I would become fatigued, sit down and fall asleep. If I sat down for 5 minutes or less I would fall asleep. Leg cramps have been an issue. Have issues with an ankle I broke about 30 years ago. Have received injections for that but have some neuropathy. Podiatrist indicates neuropathy may be generated by ELIGARD. So far I have not been able to distinguish which medical issue is the culprit or the combination of the two.

Have been advised I should contact MAYO CLINIC. Seems like there is to much stuff going on since the prostate cancer diagnosis.

Tomorrow will be another day in Paradise!
