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.

@jeffmarc Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am on ADT. I've been on Nubeqa since November, 25. The hot flashes remain a major issue. I asked my doc about meds to reduce or stop the hot flashes but he cautuioned me they can come with their own side effects. I think everyone just responds differently to these cancer meds. I'll check out the wave device. Thanks again.
