DH started on Orgovyx in August and it took until the end of October for the side effects to subside.
Now he's a week past his first Decapeptyl injection and is also now taking Abiraterone. Side effects have returned with a vengeance and last night he recorded only 4 hours sleep because of constant hot flushes and sweating.
This is not sustainable medium to long term, so my questions are, will this settle and, if so, how long is it likely to take?
Thank you
Hello ansteynomad
I have had 3.5 years on Decapeptyl and had every side effect going and some not even listed!! I have managed to cope with all of them and now none of them bother me.
The hot flushes were the hardest to get over - it was summer and I was marinating in my own sweat at night!! The simple answer was Sage Tablets (Menoforce) they are a tad expensive but work for me (they don't for everyone). They took about a week to stop the hot sweats.
As with any supplement - check with your team to ensure there in no medication clash.
