The side effects of ADT can be anywhere between mild and severe. I was on ADT for 6 months while having salvage radiation. The side effects went away and my testosterone returned to 400 within 3 months. More recently, I was on ADT for 3 years due to a single metastasis on my sacrum. I stopped ADT 13 months ago due to the side effects. I have had no signs of PC for 4 years, but still have side effects, although my blood pressure, blood sugar and red blood count have normalized. My testosterone is slowly returning, currently at 100. Hot flashes, insomnia,
and emotional lability are still a daily occurrence.
