ADT?? Just started...yay me
Hey guys I'm on like day 5 of ADT 120mg. No real side effects yet that I have noticed. But I was warned the fatigue is what's the worst. How are you guys counteracting that? I have a medical card so I'm thinking high THC sativa?
Hi
. The ADT fatigue is a real thing that many men struggle with (there are some who are lucky enough to not have this side effect impact them as much). I want to share with you this article from our contributor Tony on the topic, with an extensive discussion in the comments section: https://prostatecancer.net/living/adt-fatigue. I have to admit I haven't seen much about THC for fatigue, but Frederick wrote about it here for ADT related sleeplessness: https://prostatecancer.net/living/sleeplessness-adt. Hope this information is helpful and that others chime in with their experiences. Best, Richard (Team Member) - You didn't mention what you were taking but, from the dose, I am guessing it is Orgovyx. I took Orgovyx for 2 months and I did not have any fatigue. I guess it is possible during longer courses of treatment. I did get the annoying hot flashes but that really was no biggie. Based on what I have read, Orgovyx is what I would chose again versus the shots and, in my opinion, it isn't even a close call. Testosterone crashes pretty quickly and, for me, I was aware of the returning testosterone 4 weeks after stopping and it measured in the normal range after 7 weeks.
Personally, I wouldn't mess with weed while dealing with non metastatic PC and, assuming radiation treatments. Tell us a bit more about yourself, diagnosis, and treatment plan.
