I just started taking Orgovyx and after about 5 days I began experiencing issues with heart palpitations and tightness in my throat and issues swallowing. It was uncomfortable but not terrible but I decided to stop taking it until I spoke with the Dr.

After a small break of about 5-6 days I started taking it again (1 day in so far and just took my second) and it’s been ok so far but I think it takes about one month or so to truly see the side effects.

I was offered Lupron and Eligard as an alternative (not sure if one is better than the other). Thinking about switching to Lupron.

One thing that helps me is taking a decent nap mid day around 2:00 or so. I also take vitamin D which helps keep my energy up. Be careful with some vitamins and supplements as there are some things you shouldn’t take while on hormone therapy according to my Dr. Vitamin D and Calcium are necessary supposedly. Research it.

Hi,
My husband is taking Orgovyx and Zytiga, and did not experience any side effects until the second month, after his PSA was undetectable. He still feels anxious, dizzy, tired, and has hot flashes at night. Going on 4 months now. Sorry to hear you experienced worse side effects. I will discuss taking Vit. D. with his oncologist.
Best of luck to you.
