Orgovyx never properly wore off after taking it for six months. My testosterone hasn't returned to low normal 14 months after stopping, my estradiol is almost zero, and my FSH (the hormone that tells the body to make testosterone) is off the charts high. I'm starting to develop high cholesterol which I never had before, and now have full-blown osteoporosis.
So I probably won't die from prostate cancer, but instead from the side effects of Orgovyx.
I do finally have an appointment with an endocrinologist in January (made the appointment in August of this year) so hopefully can get to the bottom of what's going on.

I have had the same effect with Lupron but after 5 months off Lupron with very severe side effects they are starting to fade. I was only on Lupron for 4 months but had to stop because of severe headaches, sweating, aching joints and bones, and brain fog. I still have no libido or erections. PSA and testosterone both near zero after 5 months with a blood test planned for January , 2026. I am 83 years old.

Orgovyx has a 25 hour half-life. It is totally gone from your system. People confuse the ADT drugs with a low testosterone. Orgovyx causes the low testosterone, it does not prevent your testosterone from coming back. Your body is doing that. Something else is going on with your body that is preventing the testosterone from coming back. This happens to some older people, Their testosterone never returns to a normal level.
You could try talking into a palliative care doctor and see if they can help you get your testosterone to return.
If you have osteoporosis, you should be on bone strengtheners Like Fosamax. Xgeva or Zometa. They can make your bones Stronger.
