Stopped Orgovyx When did you see increase in testosterone and/or chamg
I completed 38 Sessions of Imrt for prostate reoccurrence 3 years after prostatectomy and completed 6 months of Orgovyx on June 18. My age is 72, I know this impacts testosterone going back to normal levels. My blood test 18 days after stopping still shows <12 testosterone and a PSA<.02. My symptoms from the Orgovyx and lack of sleep have been hot flashes, short term memory loss, loss of muscle strength/ endurance, and emotional anxiety. I am interested in others when they saw changing in testosterone or saw changes in their symptoms. I know it is early but I was hoping to see testosterone to go above twelve. My next blood test is 1 month from now. I also had low calcium even though I am taking a calcium supplement and D3 along with foods with calcium. This may be due to the radiation proctitis I currently have. My time for watching PSA and hoping it does not increase has begun again, the PSA test by the radiation oncologists 3 months from now when they expect testosterone will be back Best wishes to all

2 ReactionsAt age 71, I was on Orgovyx for a year.
2-3 weeks after stopping, I began feeling noticeably more energetic during my daily 2-mile brisk walk.
2 months after stopping Orgovyx, my testosterone had almost fully recovered at 430 (it was 454 prior to treatment).
Nowadays, 2 years after completing radiation therapy (SBRT + HDR Brachytherapy), my latest tests showed testosterone at 450 and PSA at 0.26.
Given my Gleason 9 pre-treatment PSA 31, I feel VERY fortunate and VERY happy with my current outcome.
And shout-out to Dr Chang and the entire team at UCLA for their world-class care and excellent continuing follow-up.
