fatigue after eating with ADT luprion and Erleada

[Nite-owl]

Anyone get wiped out after meals ..been on same meds for two years (LUPRION ERLEADA) it’s starting to really become significant everyday .

Yes it's not easy on ADT that's for sure. I completed 2 years on LUPRON, had my last injection June'22 and I still have low energy levels! I do weight training and eat whole foods not fanatically but definitely no processed foods. I suspect my testosterone has not yet returned to normal levels but will not know for sure until my next blood test in April. Can I ask ,how are your bones and muscles doing as a result of your ADT treatment? Best wishes.

I do. I assumed it was my type 2 diabetes causing it. My blood sugar has been tough to keep in line since ADT.

You might ask your MO and/or PC doctor about metformin.

I had same problem with the high sugar. Started Ozempic at the .50mg per week and when I am good it keeps me around the 110/130 mark. The snoozing is gone from the 150/200 numbers. Stick your finger.

I’m was on Metformin and Victoza for type 2 until I lost 70# and it dropped into the high normal range but decided to shoot back up a couple years ago. My MO says Lupron can cause it. Gotta love Lupron 😩

I'd be interested in the LUPRON dosage others were /are on. I was on 22.5mg x 3 monthly for 2 years, now waiting for blood test to see how my PCa reacts.

[Linebacker75 in reply to PSAed]

I’ve been on 22.5 (3 month) injections since my 1st reoccurrence

All meals regardless of type of food or amount? How's your weight and exercise habits?

[dhccpa]

Yes, Lupron makes me tend to nap longer and sleep more in general. I can push past it, but I also give in to it somewhat. It's as much an energy thing as a sleep thing.

I'm doing Ginseng supplements for the drowsies. My MO was not against it. Natures Bounty Ginseng Complex (because it is ubiquitously available and not a particularly high dose.) Two capsules with breakfast (I came to that dose by experimentation) and not for more than two consecutive days at a go. Caffeine did not touch the drowsies I was getting. There are higher dose forms of Ginseng that have an even greater effect if you want more bang per capsule.

I have been taking Lupron and Apalutamide for three years but haven’t noticed any particular fatigue after meals. I do eat a healthy diet and exercise daily and am tired by night but it doesn’t seem to have any relation to my food intake.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
