I have recently had some irrational emotional mood swings . I had a similar experience about 6 months ago, they went away within the week. I did not equate it then with my total lack of Testosterone but after seeing some discussions on this board I realized that it was my female side in full bloom. Thankfully Coco is very understanding of my situation as we have very open and honest communication. She said " I am a woman I know something about hormonal driven irrationality."
My doc prescribed Lorazapam for anxiety, I filled the prescription but have yet to take any pills I am trying to deal with it using Magic mushrooms in micro doses and High Intensity exercise. So far I am dealing with my emotions well but know that if I can't maintain equanimity I may have to stop ADT
I have been on Lupron / Abi for 21 months, but only 12 post radiation .
When I spoke to dr. Kishan at UCLA he said he had done a retrospective large size study to determine the length of time that was optimal and he settled on 24 months post op. But he is an RO so his focus is on the radiation aspect of PCa not the QOL.
A lot of moving pieces and I know I will have to make the decision with out complete knowledge of the potential consequences.
Anyone else experiencing similar emotional swings and what strategies have you used to cope?
Question about radiation
ONE YEAR POST RADIOTHERAPY
Beginning of a Long Journey
Is Zytgia always taken along with Lupron?
Anyone have prior radiation to your PC diagnosis?
