I was on six months Lupron Shots for six years. I switched to Orgovyx And for the first five months, I didn’t get any hot flashes then they came back but just a little bit milder than with Lupron.
Since Lupron already has your testosterone down below 20, switching to orgovyx is not likely to make any difference. I sure prefer taking a pill once a day.

Without no idea where I will be in a year or two, I decided to get started with a 6 month Lupron shot and depending on how it goes, switch to Orgovyx for 12 months. So a total of 18 rather than 24 months.
I just got the shot yesterday so I haven't felt the side effects yet. Also, based on one of your earlier comments, I was glad the doctor prescribed Casodex without me having to ask. I never heard of this before so thanks!
