Is ADT ever used at reduced dosage to moderate side effects?

Just reporting what I read online. And if it blocks the receptor for one thing I could understand it blocking the receptors everywhere.

Are drugs like Darolutamide becoming preferable to the total blockers?

I know a number of people over at the ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer group that are only on Darolutamide and it’s working quite well for them. They love the fact that they feel no side effects from it.

I stopped taking ADT for eight months while I was on Darolutamide. My PSA stayed undetectable the whole time. My testosterone just hit 50 at the very end, My oncologist said I needed to go back on ADT because of that. When I was on Lupron and Zytiga, I cut the Zytiga pills back from four pills to three for 18 days. My PSA went from .2 to 1 in those 18 days. I Thought I might have a similar problem, stopping ADT while on Darolutamide but it didn’t happen.
