I have been on doublet therapy all four years. Lupron (3 m0nth shot) and Abiraterone (1000 mg) daily and prednisone (50 mg) daily.

@higginslake, have you been able to discuss the rising testosterone with your oncologist? What did you find out?

Abbie should get your testosterone significantly below 20. What your doctor says about being under 50 is what clinical studies have shown. It is quite rare for it to be so high when you’re taking both drugs.
If your testosterone keeps rising you could get on Darolutamide which keeps the PSA low even if testosterone is higher. It also has a lot fewer side effects than abiraterone. Something to discuss with your doctor if that happens.
