@jeffmarc I am sincerely grateful that you've had a good experience with Orgovyx. When I told my urologist that it was a good thing he didn't tell me about all the side effects, he said, "People have different results." The problematic chemical in Trimix is alprostadil (Prostaglandin). The issue is that it is the primary chemical causing blood flow for erections. People have lower reviews of results with Bimix. It's not the most important issue, though: if I were able to have erections, there's probably one day a month that I'd even care. ADT has lowered my libido and energy enough that physical intimacy isn't a reasonable expectation...The last time I attempted just foreplay as an expression of closeness, I had to apologize to my wife about halfway through that I was falling asleep. And that's despite my exercising 90 minutes each weekday. I feel better for a short time but I'm crashed by bedtime. I'm hoping to get more insight from the second medical oncologist for solutions to make life on ADT more livable. I'm extraordinarily stubborn, so I have no plans to give up treatment entirely, but I keep my expectations low.

Some people in this forum have had a problem with the same Trimix ingredient. I think they just increased the amount of the other ingredients in order to get a useful erection.

I really did didn’t find Orgovyx Better overall than Lupron. I switched because my medical provider started charging me $800 a year for Lupron and nothing for Orgovyx. For me, the advantage of orgovyx, allowing testosterone to come back quicker when you stop it, is not a benefit for me because I can’t ever stop it.

I wake up about 6:30 in the morning and go to sleep about midnight. If I feel a little tired in the afternoon, I will take a 25 minute nap, setting my phone to wake me up after 25 minutes. That keeps me awake and alert till midnight.

The best type of doctor to see to resolve problems with any drugs is a Palliative care doctor. They will work with you to try and resolve your issues with any drug or life situation. Ask your PCP or medical provider for a Palliative care referral.
