If you can stay undetectable for a year or a year and a half with ADT, then stopping it does make sense for a lot of people. I know people that have gone years without having to go back on, even though they had high Gleason scores. Some people may have only gone a year, but going back on ADT drops their PSA back down. I know one guy who’s taken five breaks, Each time his PSA comes back but the drugs keep him under control when he starts them again. The only thing he noticed is that the amount of time he can take a break is shorter each time he does it.

It does make sense for even people with aggressive prostate cancer to do this.

I am not on any ADT treatment. I was referring to Pregabalin which causes ED and kills my libido. I don't if it's possible to have a healthy libido, but still get ED. In my way distant past I have had a couple of instances of failure to perform, but still had the desire so I assume they are mostly independent of each other.

If I get off of PreGabalin too often I fear it may start not to work as well. Best leave well enough alone.
