Looking for feedback - Lupron vs Orgovyx
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (15)Comment receiving replies
I had my prostate removed 4 years ago. I was on Lupron for two years. I have been off Lupron for two years. My PSA remains at 0.04. My testosterone is still low < 50. I'm 76 years old. I have been injecting testosterone for about one year. The dose is .05ml. My only side effect from Lupron is fatigue in my legs. I walk four miles daily and walking is a struggle. My pace is about 18 minutes per mile.
Anyone else out there with these side effects from Lupron?

I have very low T (20s) as well but my DR does not recommend supplementing it. Then again I have had PC for over 12 years and it is setting in my spine , ribs, pelvic bones, pelvic walls, lymph nodes, and around my iliac arteries, (the ones leading to my legs). Yes loads of fatigue, weakness, and aches. I had Lupron, eligard, orgovix, and now back to eligard. The side effects were identical for all of them. I stay away from Firmagon!

Some people do not have their testosterone come back after being on Lupron or many other ADT drugs. I’ve heard it many times. If the cancer case is not too serious then getting testosterone injections can solve the problem. If the Gleason score is too high, then the PSA could start rising quickly.
Was in a meeting today where somebody was talking about this problem. He has started taking testosterone to get it back. He actually had his PSA start rising, so his doctor is putting him on both Lupron and testosterone, A strange combination.
