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.
