The fact that you are on abiraterone Can explain some of the problems. It reduces your testosterone much lower than ADT. Because you are on it, it will take longer for your testosterone to come back, Pretty much eliminating the benefit of being on Orgovyx.
Abiraterone Gave me high blood pressure, Five afib Events and a lot more hot flashes.
The low testosterone is what causes the emotional issues. Doesn’t happen to everybody, but it does happen to a lot of people.
Doing a lot of exercise can offset some of the emotional issues from these drugs. Doesn’t work for everybody and some people do need to have mood stabilizers.

@jeffmarc Jeff, your explanation makes a lot of sense! This is why I love this group. I have a prostate cancer oncologist friend (not my doc) who frequently asks for insight from my perspective. We who are enduring this journey are the real-deal imbedded reporters for the journey. I gratefully appreciate all of you who have share your insights and experiences. Since starting treatment, I have longed for this community.
