@web265, I think this is a great idea to start a thread dedicated to Orgovyx. I modified the title a wee bit. I believe that @itterac and @natem have experience with Orgovyx (relugolix) and @kujhawk1978 and @upnort may have something to add.

I started taking Relugolix in late October of 2021.
My PSA number was 1300. Within several weeks it was down to 0.15. Side effects are similar to Lupron.
Myopathy, hot flashes, and gynecomastia. I take Relugolix every morning between 9, and 10am.
Hot flashes are usually over around 12: 00 pm.
I hope this helps.
