Erleada and Lupron: Does this combo wipe anyone else out?

Posted by dwheels8 @dwheels8, Jul 14, 2024

I am on Erleada 240 mgs per day and Lupron one injection every 6 weeks. Some days I am wiped out from the medication. Anyone else feel this way? ~Don

I've been on an ADT/Erleada combo since 2021. After almost 3 years, I've come to tolerate them much better than I used to. The Firmagon shot did wipe me out for three days every month (similar to flu or COVID symptoms), so I was very excited when Health Canada finally approved Orgovyx, and I was able to shift to a daily pill instead of a monthly injection.

Some days I still feel tired, and I'm working only half time, but in general I feel that I still have the energy to enjoy my life (and I'm grateful for the medications that are extending it).
