Re: Recovering from Lupron

JW:
Thanks for starting this thread because I have the same question as you. "How long is it gonna take"

I've been off of lupron for about 6 months now and am on Casodex only.

No return of libido yet. But how much is due to the Casodex?

My testosterone has recovered from a low of 20 to 280 in this time frame - Still quite low but improving.

Hoping to see more comments...

Re: Recovering from Lupron

I had a 4 month Lupron injection in May 08 which resulted in a total treatment time of 22 months. In March 09 a T-test showed testosterone above "castrate" but still way below normal levels. In August 09, I found myself pausing to gawk at a gorgeous woman at the market. It dawned on me then that I had recovered as it had been some time since looking at women had crossed my mind.

Even though some of my treatments are permanent, I manage to get by quite well with Cialis.

Good luck, Pat (Alaska, USA)

Pat:
Thanks for that info.

I too am starting to get some faint return of libido but nothing along the lines of "morning wood."

Is does not matter which therapy one chooses - There is always a price to pay. Right?
