The side effects tend to get worse with time. That was my experience. That is why (with my oncologist’s blessing) I went off a year ago. The side effects are still here, but my blood pressure and blood sugar are better. Earlier, I was on Lupron alone for sic months and after three months off, my testosterone returned to 400 and my side effects went away. So, I’m hoping that in another six months, my testosterone will again be normal and my side effects will disappear again
