Hello, I am glad to hear you are able to tolerate Lupron better after your initial side effects. I was not so fortunate. I had the same problems you mentioned including get out of bed 5 times a night every night for 3 weeks to go to the bathroom. In addition my I would have hot flashes and at times I was mentally challenged to perform basic everyday routines. Eventually my doctor took me off Lupron and I started on Zytiga with Prednisone. I had to discontinue both when I started having difficulty breathing. At present I have received radiation treatment on L1, T11, and T12. I expect more radiation will be necessary as my PSA number has reached 150. All the best to you.

I have been on lupron for 13 months radiation for 39 visits now and just got the 6 month shot,,side effects almost nothing, I exercise almost everyday in a gym or out cycling . Tried erleada and could only do it for 2 months terrible side effects so my oncologist asked me " what do you want to do" . He considers lupron the heavy hitter, the most important factor so I choose the six month lupron and it will end at the 18 month cycle and I am considering extending it in 1 or 2 months interval in an attempt to go for 2 years . so far psa holding steady at .01 for 10 months.
