I had terrible hot flashes with ADT (Lupron)and Abbie. Eight years later, I’m on Orgovyx And still getting hot flashes, though they are milder. Abbie really made the hot flashes a lot more intense.
I would wake up at night with a sheet wet under me because I had hot sweats and hot flashes. I got an Embrlabs.com Wave 2 Device and it pretty much stopped the nightly hot flashes and was able to reduce the daily ones a little bit. It has two buttons one you can set for a day and one you can set for night. If you get one post a message about it or I can send you instructions for how to optimally configure it. I’ve used it for five years and i’ve worked closely with the company that whole time.
One of the doctors at Mayo did a monthly talk about ADT and posted this information about drugs. You can get that can stop hot flashes. I’ll post that slide. Some people have been able to successfully get Acupuncture treatment for it.

@jeffmarc Thanks for the recommendations. I'll keep the Wave 2 idea in my back pocket, though I'm a little OCD and I think wearing something at night would be bothersome. So far the hot flashes aren't major. Based on some of what I've read, if they do become severe, my first option might be to ask for an estradiol patch prescription.
