Here we are inn 2010, I still have hot flashes, labs show an increase in male hormone levels I was diagnosed with degenerative tear in my lateral ligament in my knee with early onset arthritis. I had surgery and am now trying to heal but fear that the other Knee will have the same problem. I know have to have more tests including a bone density scan, all this and I am onnly 34 years old. FDA you must do something, we should not have to suffer like this, and the medication doesn't even help!!REPORT COMMENTS

After 1 shot for prostate cancer I have decided it truly is the drug from Hell! My doctor says I should only have hot flashes and has never had a patient to have any other problems. He does not believe my systoms are related to Lupron and that he can't find all these other systoms. What is he looking at? Help!REPORT COMMENTS

I had the Lupron 7.5mg injection on 1/29/10 as a treatment of prostate issues. As a result I began symptoms related to female menopause which included hot flashes of great severity. This caused dehydration which led to a severe ulcerated stomach that began bleeding in mid-March. On April 2nd I had a series of 10 mini strokes that put me in the hospital and they discovered my dehydration, my bleeding stomach and I also had a mild heart attack while in the hospital due to my ordeal. My ***** also shriveled to just 1" which makes it very difficult to even urinate. I now have breasts. The mini strokes effected my left side of my body and I frequently fall due to my left side giving out unexpectedly. It has severely limited my life and I now have depression and anxiety due to the results of taking this horrible drug. The severity of the effects were not explained to me and I hope that this drug is taken off the market before it ruins anyone elses life as it has mine and my wifes.REPORT COMMENTS

I lost my husband on July 4th, 2010, and I strongly believe that it was the result of the lupron shots that broke down his bones to the point that they crumbled. Oncologist are using this drug recklessly and it needs to be at least regulated more or completely taken off the market.REPORT COMMENTS

In the year 2000, I lost my 6 figure career due to disability directly related to 6 injections of Lupron (off label) which rendered me unable to walk without a cane and/or walker. My life has been changed dramatically. I have suffered physically, mentally, financially and my family's ability to thrive has been dramatically affected by the doctor making me a guinea pig in his quest for "kick backs" from TAP pharma. The use of this medication needs to be stopped. I cannot even begin to think about the number of women/men who have been affected adversely (and in some cases died) due to this medication's adverse effects. It is sickening. Please help.REPORT COMMENTS
