I was on Lupron for three years, Enzalutimide one year and Abiraterone for two years. I switched from Enzalutimide to Abiraterone when they changed my cost of Enzalutimide from $0 to $1,600 per month. The Abiraterone cost me $2.50 a month. I don’t understand the pricing, but I’m sure you understand my choice.

I’m also on my 9th month of Orgovyx but have had little of the severe side effects. Loss of libido, some fatigue but not anything debilitating. I swim every day and that seems to keep a lid on more severe effects. I guess everyone’s body responds differently.

Hey Jim,
I have also been on Orgovyx for 9 months. For a few months the side effects were mild. However, they have become severe especially the hot flashes. I’m 76 years old and don’t drink alcohol, smoke or eat poorly. I exercise for at least an hour every day…walking, biking and resistance training. Lately it has become a struggle to get through a workout. On my daily walk I find it difficult to complete a mile without getting severe hot flashes. I actually have short blackouts when I sit to try and recover. The hot flashes drain my energy and I end up sleeping a lot. I rarely get a solid night’s sleep without multiple hot flashes. Yes. I have tried most every recommended solution but nothing seems to work. I refuse to add another drug to fight the side effects of Orgovyx. I realize every one is different and reacts differently. I stopped taking Orgovyx six days ago and feel better already. On Monday I’m telling my Urologist I’m done taking it. I’m sure he will not be happy. I will monitor my PSA and testosterone levels and see what happens. After looking at the research on ADT and prostate cancer I’m not convinced that two years of testosterone lowering drugs is the answer. Quality of life is my concern. At 76 I would rather have a few good years than go through this process without any guarantees of reoccurring prostate cancel. Thanks for your comment.
