Do ALL men get side effects from Lupron shots?

I’ve been on ADT for six weeks. Firmagon for one month and Lupron for two. I’ve always been an exerciser and continue with the same or maybe an enhanced program. I’ve had little side effects except lack of orgasm. Intimacy is still good. I feel that I could continue to take this for the rest of my life if I had to. I’m 71 years old and have a grade 4 Gleason 10 PC.

@toeknee The early days of ADT are not that bad. I was on Lupron for a year and tolerated it well. Just be aware that it wears on you over time, especially if you have to go past 6 months. See my bio for more details.
