Did your doctor explain to you prior to the first injection that everything you just described is typical with any of the ADT hormone therapies (Lupron, Eligard, Prostap, Camcevi, Lucrin, Zoladex, Trelstar, Pamorelin, Decapeptyl, Firmagon, and Orgovyx)?

ADT surpresses testosterone, the hormone that gives you all of your male characteristics, including strength, fitness, endurance, emotions, etc.

Your testosterone levels will be below most women’s levels, and you’ll go through what’s often referred to as “male menopause.” Many men experience these side-effects to varying degrees — some more, some less —> forgetfulness, confusion, memory loss, mood swings, emotions, fatigue, loss of libido, ED, insmnia, hot flashes, night sweats, muscle atrophy, weight gain, and more…. (I only experienced loss of libido, muscle atrophy, and mild “warm flashes”.)

The key to minimizing/avoiding ADT side-effects is a robust resistance-training exercise program. These offset the severe metabolic side-effects of low testosterone.
