I agree with you.
FWIW, I was on prolia but only while on Lupron.
Since my side effects have reduced but some continue, maybe Lupron isn't out of my system. Even after a full 2 years have passed since my last Lupron shot.
YES, guys, get those bone strengtheners as long as the side effects of ADT persist. If insurance doesn't cover them, then take lots of vitamin D3 and C (I'm taking 6,000 IU per day). Ask your doctor/s till you get a WELL CONSIDERED answer!

@grandpun FortiBone Collagen Peptides also show measurable clinical improvement in bone density

Actually, Lupron has a very short half-life, 3 to 6 hours. If you get a three month shot, As an example, It literally disappears within days of three months.
The problem is that testosterone just doesn’t come back quickly and for some people it doesn’t ever come back. If you’re on Lupron you’re going to wait at least six months to a year for your testosterone to get to a level where you don’t have the side effects from the Lupron. In many cases it takes even longer, 18 months to 2 years to get to 250 or above. There are exceptions, but most people really wait a long time.
