@jeffmarc thank you Jeff. I always look forward to your comments. I will seek this out further and encourage this route. His MO at last appointment mentioned Effexor when I asked for a possibility of adding an antidepressant. Thoughts on Effexor?

@sriddle1
Common drugs for depression and anxiety
Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Effexor, Buspirone, Cymbalta, Lexipro, Prozac, Celexa, Paxil, Escitalopram
As you can see Effexor Is listed as one of them. The thing with these drugs is that one may work great for one person and not for another. It’s the kind of thing where you have to experiment and see what actually helps you the most. I created this list from drugs people have told me over the years that have worked for them..
I have heard from people that Effexor worked well for them, but that is not necessarily true for everybody.

@sriddle1 Hi. My husband is having the usual side effects from his Orgovyx and Nubeqa too, the worst being the hot flashes. We asked our MO about something for the hot flashes and he suggested Effexor might help and it had the added benefit of being an anti-depressant. We opted for a hormone pill (Megestrol) instead because his moods haven’t been too bad so far. We are in a similar situation with aggressive PC involving lymph nodes and many other aggressive features. Similiar treatments too except no radiation has been done. My husband is 65 years old and to say this experience is overwhelming for both of us is an understatement! I’m glad you came here for support, you deserve it.
