Orgovyx side effects and handling them

Thanks for the info. PT is a good idea. I'll also try the Tylenol PM but I already take 2 drugs to help with sleep, Trazodone and Gabapentin. I still have my prostate and it's not very big. Prior to Proton treatment, I always slept through the night without having to get up to use the bathroom. No more. Every night I am now up 2-3 times for that, and on occasion more. I'll ask my doc about that but honestly I was informed of that likelihood before I started treatment. I just wish I understood better why that happens and whether there's any hope for a return to my prior sleeping state over time, or after I've stopped Orgovyx for some time.

There are drugs that really help a lot with these problems of having to get up at night.. I take Myrbetriq and it not only allows me to sleep through most nights without getting up, it helps a lot to reduce incontinence during the day as well. Must admit I do get up once some nights.

There is a second drug that works the same called Gemtesa.

This is the type of thing I asked my urologist about, Contact yours and ask If you can try it.
