How long do night sweats and headaches continue. My last 3-month shot was 4 months ago and i am still having serious side effects. I quit Lupron at 4 months and felt like it would have killed me if I continued.

@pesquallie
Not sure how many shots you’ve had, I know that somebody who’s had six months of Lupron can have their testosterone come up enough within about nine months to stop the problems.
The story about it takes as long to go away as you were on it is not true. I was on Lupon for six years and Orgovyx For a year when I stopped taking it for eight months. My testosterone started coming back pretty quickly so I had to go back on it. That’s nowhere close to the seven years I was on ADT total. I was 77 at the time and my oncologist and I both figured it would never come back.
@pesquallie I’ve been off Lupron for 14 months and still have hot flashes, emotional lability, bone loss, anxiety and depression. My testosterone has only returned to 100 so far. (I was on Lupron for 3 years). Several years ago I was on Lupron for 6 months and my testosterone was 400 after 3 months. The good news about being off Lupron is that my blood pressure, blood sugar and red blood cell count have normalized.

@pesquallie I have read that effects of lupron can last for as long as you've been
given the injections. (thats 2 years for me) off in September.
Am taking gabapentin and black cohosh at bed time.,which seems to relieve symptoms .
Am sorry for your suffering. Am having extreme fatigue, headaches, balance issues and depression.
