October of 2013, I was placed on Lupron for Endometriosis for six months. I never knew that i would be giving up my life and myself. Goodbye memory, goodbye straight A grades, goodbye stage performer who worked through the pain, goodbye relentless over-achiever who had the options of the world open to her, goodbye proud woman who used to take perfect care of herself. Lupron was the beginning of the end. It hurts knowing youve already peaked in twenty three years, and its all down from there. I lost my ability to remember formulas and tutor my peers in Honor Societies that I led. I was unable to be the wife, daughter, friend, performer, student, worker, and leader i had been so proud of. I lost ability to use mind over matter to fight through pain as I had for so many years with Endo. The thing that was supposed to help, erased all the power I DID have with my incurable illness alone. I remember coming in half. Where the logical part of me failed to control the confused, painful, ridiculously emotional me. I became violent for the first time in my life. For no reason. Impulsive. I dropped classes. I stopped going. I wound up in the hospital on suicide watch lock down in my fifth month. I was better off with only endometriosis. We are approaching Fall of 2015, and I am barely a shadow of the person I used to be. Still hot flashing, still memory loss. Never went back to college or into the performing arts where previously I made good pay. It's hard to learn, it remember, to smile. I sleep at home, then go to my cashier job that I'm always late to, and sometimes cannot go due to the anxiety and chest pains I get when my alarm goes off. Before lupron I was on Synthroid and Birth Control. Two years later I'm still on Synthroid, but now, just to work 8 hour days, I'm on 2mg of Ativan a day, two 10mg of Hydrocodone a day, 40mg of Adderal, and the maximum amount of Celexa that can be taken per day. I gave up on birth control, and bleed weeks out of the month than I am not. That's all I can bare to describe right now. Thanks.REPORT COMMENTS

This drug is offered as a hormonal medication to treat endometriosis. I took it for 2 seperate 6mo interval and ended up having surgery after each one as it did not help my endo pain at all. Now at 30 and never been able to conceive, i am on it again and only just saw on my after visit summary that it said "administer chemotherapy ". I googled this med many many times when first prescribed 5 years ago. I saw it was used to treat prostate cancer but it never said i was actually getting chemotherapy. Even in the last years time the information has chamged suddenly to call this drug chemo. Why was i never informed by my doctor of what i was really taking? I think its terrible and we should make doctors by law have to tell us exactly what we are being prescribed, not hope that peole will spend hours researching before stumbling onto the truth by ourselves, or maybe they are hoping we wont find out. No wonder it costs $1600.00 per shot considering its CHEMOTHERAPY and not "similar to birth control" as i was told.REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron has destroyed my short term memory. The thing about losing your short term memory is eventually it had destroyed your long term memory also. I am unable to learn new things. I also have aphasia so I have trouble communicating, both orally and in written word. I get lost in areas of town that I have lived in since the shot in 2001 but remember where I am and how to get from one place to another in parts of town before the shots! I can't learn new things. I ask the same questions repeatedly because I can't remember the answer. It makes me annoying to others. I don't know how I am going to survive financially as my disability payments will go down as my daughter turns 18 in october. I can't even get a fast food job. I am destroyed.REPORT COMMENTS

This drug should not be proposed to women with endometriosis! The damage it causes is far worse than endo itself. This needs to stop. Doctors need to take the prescription of this drug more seriously. Currently there is not enough disclosure about the drug and its relative side effects. Doctors push this on women without giving them the facts. I was actually told by one OB he refused to treat me unless I took it. He wanted me to put myself through chemo without question and never once mentioned the possible side effects. This is not only negligent but a severe injustice to all women suffering from endometriosis. Please stop big Pharma. Women should know what they are being told to put in their bodies. And frankly the evidence against the efficacy of this drug is staggering.REPORT COMMENTS

I was one that has had their world changed with just one injection from lupron in June 2006. I am still suffering from severe bone/nerve/muscle pain. They found a bone tumor just 6 months after my lupron shot. I was hyperthroid after ai finally was able to conceive. Lupron made me infertile or if I got pg miscarriage (2) than major issues during my pregnancy. Severe damage and pain and migraines. I moved and my pain management dr said that he has seen several women injured and still hurting years after lupron. Its time to have this medicine removed. Are doctors still receiving kickbacks? I can't work. I am severely disabled from this stupid medication. I actually had a reaction the very next day. It wasn't just bad side effects occasionally. I couldn't walk or hold my 12 month old. My mother in law had to move in with us because I was unable to care for my daughter or myself. I went to the ER twice. I had doctors severely worried for my health. My BP was sky high. The pain scale they ask me with 10 being the worst. I remember that first few days. I had the worst pelvic pain. My endometriosis and periods actually got even more heavy and worst. I want doctors to validate my pain and concerns knowing this drug did this to me. Why are we not able to sue them for compensation? Why are attorneys not suing them. I see them suing for all these other bad drugs. Also the FDA needs ttbe revamped. I think the FDA is corrupt as well. We have doctors that bully us to try lupron or won't help or won't do hysterectomy. I regret the lupron injection every day. Its on my list of allergy meds. It has been a life changer but not for the good. This is poison. I think it works on hypothalamus and thymus not just shut down ovaries to put in fake menopause. Also menopause and hysterectomy isn't a cure and neither is lupron.REPORT COMMENTS

The damage this drug causes is far-reaching and permanent, and evidence of this has been presented to Congress and the FDA previously. The manufacturer is well aware of the dangers of this drug, yet continues to chose profit over lives. When will the FDA do its job and protect the people!?!REPORT COMMENTS
