Side effects from Eligard
I had 45mg of Eligard on 2 Nov 2024. I still feel very fatigued when exercising and struggle to get anywhere near pre treatment levels. Any idea how long recovery takes. I am 65 and was very active with bicycle riding prior to treatment. Thanks.
Hi
. Unfortunately the effects of androgen deprivation therapy can last longer than the stated time frame. Several of our contributors have noted this problem.

Has anyone discussed testosterone levels with you? Testosterone replacement therapy used to be seriously frowned upon for those recovering from prostate cancer, but research has since found that it can be a viable option for many.
