Coming off of DP questions

I have been on DP for five months. I have decided to stop taking the drug and have been off of it for 2 1/2 months now. I never had night sweats while I was taking DP but now they are extremely bad. I was taking 150mgs monthly. How long will these last? How long til full sexual function return? Or will it ever fully return? My wife and I have to stop taking DP because for one it gave me horrible moods after the second month. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Is there anything, supplements, that I might take or should we just wait it out and for how long???? Questions questions. LOL Thanks.

well its been 2 and a half months, you might want to go to a doctor and have your hormone levels checked, your testosterone production may not be starting back up. The depo provera is leaving your system. One of its effects is that it not only suppresses testosterone, it suppliments it as a replacement hormone, this is why i preferred it to lupron depot. What your feeling may be because your running our of the depo-provera in your system and your not producing a hormone to replace it, ie, your testosterone.

Getting T back is a VERY slow process.

I've heard, up to a point, that it can take 3 times longer to get it back than you were on it......ie being on a month could be 3 months...to a point.

I went off Androcur a month ago after being on jus ta single month - but eing on Saw Palmetto for a year.....and it's been a month and I barely have any reaction in the morning when I wake up, and while things work it takes a LOT and the right mood - it just doesn't "Happen".....

I like it this way but I'm in a sexual mood of late and looking to well, be with someone....:)

So I suppose that I can expect the night sweats for a while longer??? Sexual function is okay with manual stimulation from the wife. Thought some people here might benefiet from my questions and your answers. Thanks
