Testosterone Recovery with short ADT use?

Thanks for all of the thoughts here. I’m relatively young at 54 and was in excellent health prior to diagnosis, including no issues with strength endurance or any ED issues at all. Looks like I should rebound soon and am fortunate to have only received a 3 month dose. I asked my urologist about Orgovyx and he said he wasn’t as effective for a case as urgent as mine (very high PSA and other factors).

Thanks again all.

@mark10517ny Orgovyx is more effective than Lupron in that it reduces testosterone quicker to levels better or equal to Lupron and does not increase testosterone in the first few weeks (flare). It has quicker recovery so might have to take for 4 months to get the same length of suppression as a 3-month Lupron shot. Main reason doctors prefer Lupron is that it guarantees patient compliance and they make more money giving the shot vs. writing a script. If a patient prefer Lupron it is usually for cost reasons (Orgovyx more expensive and covered by prescription plan).
