After three years on ADT, I have been off for eleven months. There has been no improvement in the side effects (which are many and awful) My testosterone is now up to 100 (from < 4) and I am hopeful that the side effects will decrease as the testosterone improves. I am 74 years old, walk 3-5 miles per day and do intense yoga and weights three days a week. In addition to calcium with D3, I take Alendronate for my bones. Luckily, my PSA has remained “undetectable”.

Hopefully improvement in side effects for you is just around the corner.

Jim, which ADT did you take? I’m in my ninth month of Orgovyx and the side effects are severe. I’m also 74, and my team wants me to be on ADT two years. Aarrgghhh!

Hi Jim. What dosage of calcium and vitamin D do you take? My husband just started on ADT and I’m in heavy research mode. Thanks.
