Stage 4 prostate cancer treatment options

About Lupron: I would like to hear from others 1) how long do the hot flashes last after the “expiration HAHA date” of the previous injection, and 2) did any medications help alleviate these “flashes?”
My Urologist advised me to talk to my PCP about changing my antidepressant from Sertraline to Venlafaxine. I also read on one of these postings of someone taking Paxil.
Thank you for your time.

I am 72 yrs old and had radical prostectomy in 2018, after surgery, I had psa start going up so I was signed up for radiation treatment, I had lupron shot before radiation and had only 3 months on lupron. I have had hot flashes and night sweats often since then. I have tried escitalopram, no help, and was suggested to try Black Cohosh, no help, I have requested Paxil from my psychiatrist, I will let you know when I try it if it helps.
