Got the orgovyx...and two questions.....

Thank you to all that helped with my question about the best way to get Orgovyx. Just got a call from ONCO360 and it will arrive Monday. I feel Orgovyx is cutting edge treatment.

Quick couple of questions for those on it.

Are you experiencing the diarrhea side effect, and would you suggest taking it at a certain time to try and avoid hot flashes at night (don't even know if timing the dose would help).

Stay strong Brothers.

F#ck Cancer.

The time of day at which you take the drug will not affect the hot flashes; they derive from low T, which is constant throughout the day.

I’ve been on Orgovyx(80mg) and Xtandi(160 mg) for 11 months. I take the Orgovyx in the morning, Xtandi at bedtime. I’ve had little to no side effects, occasional warm flashes, not hot and drowsiness if I set to long. I cannot emphasize enough exercise, lots of exercise!

Excellent, I plan on keeping a fairly rigorous exercise schedule. Three days at the gym with cardio, abs and weight machines, 3 days with dumbbells at home. Walk 3-4 miles 2-3 days a week, and walk 18 holes of golf each week........we'll see how long I can stay on that schedule.

Since the medical community and Pharma will not recognize that sex, age and body mass matters and recommend the same amount a drug dosages to all, IMO you get a wide variety of side effects.

The first dose of three pills affected me a little, music sounded so much better and reminded me of the 70's but I digress.

I get warm at nights followed by chills. So I just dress lightly, lots of covers and ceiling fan going well so it all works out by throwing off and then bundling up. I have gotten Diarrhea randomly but it doesn't last.

I've halfway through the 25 days of Radiation but this is all I felt so far and I blame this all above on the drug since this started before radiation treatments.
