What's your experience with Orgovyx (relugolix)?

I was on active surveillance for three years. When PSA started rising again (6.4) and a third biopsy showed PC becoming more aggressive, doctors recommended treatment: six months of Orgovyx, and Cyberknife. The first few month of hormone treatment weren't bad, but in months 4, 5, and 6 hot flashes became more intense, and muscle weakness much and fatigue more noticeable. Hot flashes and weakness continued for about two months after treatment, with sleep difficulties. At the end of treatment, PSA was 0.03, and T was 3. My labs 10 weeks after treatment showed PSA at 0.13, and T back up to 255 -- close to pre-treatment levels. So everyone is quite happy with the results so far. The doctors said that Orgovy has a faster recovery, which seems true. I'm 79 y.o.

Orgovyx recovery time?
Reread edva1943 post, and that was helpful.
4 wks post 4 mos orgovyx and still struggling with fatigue and "wooziness ".
Age 73
However I think that I feel a bit better (10%ish).
Anyone with "recovery" from Orgovyx, or other ADT agents have experience to share?
