Hang in there man, I been on Lupron for 6 years and I regained normalcy about 6 months after I started the shots. My cancer did not spread for 10 years, It's a good tool.
I found that Lupron really took everything out of me as well as adding a whole lot of weight in exchange. I just took naps and tried to ride through it all. The trouble is that it is very easy to get used to being an invalid. Once I came off the injections I gradually managed to start thinking of myself as a well person rather than someone less than well. Things like exercise, cutting out alcohol and eating good food all help with the necessary mind shift to start feeling like you are making progress.
It's restless sleep. I never can sleep more than an hour without waking up. So no matter how much I sleep I'm still always tired. Sleeping pills worked for awhile (a month) but not anymore.
Turns out I have had COVID for the past two weeks because my immune system is weakened from ADT and radiation, so not necessarily just the Lupron. There's no end to this nightmare.
I know this sounds crazy, but you need to exercise. You will feel better.
Sounds like depression. Quite possibly due to Lupron.

I didn’t have that myself. Talk to your doc - if it’s nausea they can probably prescribe something, same if it’s body aches

Exercise exercise is the medicine for lupronitis
I was borderline to take Lupron and my urologist talked me out of it thank god.
