Hot Flashes 4 Years Post Single Lupron Inj
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (10)Comment receiving replies
I'd like to answer your end of post question but I'm confused.
Did you have just one Lupron shot as indicated in your title and question or a year long series of monthly shots?? (I'll assume 'monthly')
I had RALP 1/22 and started monthly Lupron shots 3/22 and last one 1/23.
Yes, I still have hot flashes. But reduced with paroxetine; similar to your venlaflaxine.
Are they "killer"? Not unless having to remove my hat and/or open my shirt and/or have beads of sweat in me (very thin) hair is consider killer.
I'm pretty sure you're not alone in this one so good luck with your search for relief!
And please pass it along if you find something helpful.

@grandpun I had a single Lupron shot. I carry small fans when out of the house. Thank you for your reply.

Evidence is building that ADT and Lupron in particular may be doing more harm than good. Both Duke and Harvard have raised these issues in recent studies. Looking back 25 years ago the statistical evidence for ADT is very weak and maybe not statistically significant. Damage done by ADT is well known.
