How long do the side effects of Lupron/Eligard last?

I just completed year two on Eligard/Lupron. PSAs are under 1. For that, I am grateful. Hopefully, I turn 70 in September. Right now, with all the side effects, hot flashes, weight gain, and an endlessly drifting and forgetful mind, I am a better version of myself. I classify myself as a stage IV prostate cancer guy learning to live with cancer.

Thank you for sharing. Could I ask if your PSA went down right away or did it take months? My husband’s went down 60% in the first 2.5 weeks from the initial monthly shot. Wondering if will go down further in subsequent/weeks or months with additional shots. Thank you in advance for any info you can share.
