@jeffmarc I've been on Nubeqa for four months. I have intense hot flashes, especially at night. Fatigue is quite noticeable. My oncologist said the first two months are rough but that side effects should lessen after that. Hasn't happened.

Aren’t you also on ADT? That lowers your testosterone and causes most of the hot flash problems.
Yes, Nubeqa can aggravate the problem, but that usually goes away after a short time.
I had severe hot flashes while on ADT. Nubeqa Has not been a problem at all. After eight years on ADT, my hot flashes are what you would call warm flashes and don’t occur very often.
I know dozens of people on Nubeqa And no one reports hot flashes as a problem.
What worked best for me at night was an Embrlabs.com wave 2 device. You can set it to run all night. I used to have the sheet wet under me when I was sleeping because of hot flashes it stopped them.
A Mayo doctor at last month’s monthly meeting posted this information about drugs you can use to stop hot flashes.
