@salinasdew i took Lupron for two years thru December 2025. The effects seem to be worse now …especially the hot flashes in the morning and worrying about minor issues as I wake up! I have no libido!

Are you on any other drugs for PC now that you have dropped Lupron?
Have you had your testosterone level checked? If it is not returning the hot flashes continue.
You could use an estradiol patch to greatly reduce the hot flashes and also help with the libido issue. You don’t need to take enough of it to equal ADT. A .5 or .75 estradiol patch can make a major difference. You can ask your doctor about this.
You can get more information here https://estradiolinitiative.org/. In your case, you’re not looking to replace ADT you’re looking to help with low testosterone.
