    I pray that this is taken off the market! No one should have to suffer from this horrid drug. Stop giving it to women with Endometriosis. It is a proven fact that it does more harm than good. Thankfully my new doctor refuses to use it as an option.

    This drug should not be given to women for any reason, or anyone. If the lingering side effects are more debilitating than the disease, probably the doctor should reconsider prescribing this poison. Poisoned in 2002.

    I'm 19 years out from my treatment and the side effects are too many to list. This is not what we should have to deal with. On top of Endometriosis and everything else that comes with it.

    If you are offered this drug... RUN!! It will ruin your quality of life! I was told I'd only have hot flashes. Joke was on me! I have heavy bleeding, extremely bad joint pain, memory loss, evere lower abdominal pain and mood swings that are runing my relationship!! I'm 29 years old and I've gone from a happy and positive person to, "Who the **** am I?" This drug NEEDS to be stopped. I'd rather have my endometriosis and ovarian cysts pain back. I have lupus, osteoarthritis, migraines, the above stated... I don't see how I was able to take this. It's only going to get worse!

    I am 35 years old and was given Lupron injections in 2000 and 2004 as treatment for endometriosis. I now have terrible memory loss, several pelvic prolapses, osteoporosis, arthritis, migraines, depression and anxiety, and a tremor in my hands. My body is so much older than it should be. This "medication" needs to be destroyed. I don't wish this on anyone else. I'm completely miserable and can't enjoy my life.

    I have not had a regular period since I was treated with Lupron. Granted, I was abused by my physicians, who kept me on the drug longer than they should have. I was not informed of the risk to my body. There are other problems, but my fertility is most important to me.

    I took my last dose 15 years ago, I'm facing my 4th surgery, due to Disc Degenerative Disease. Lupron is dangerous and people should know the facts before Precribe/use it.

    Lupron has caused irrevocable damage to my healthy, active lifestyle and career, as well as to my quality of life for 21 years. Within months after being administered my first of six doses of Lupron I experienced intolerable pain, so much, that I asked my Ob-Gyn for pain medicine stronger than Aleve or Tylenol. I began to lose my memory, dexterity, and energy. Certain foods triggered sharp Muscular pain which I never experienced, and I developed migraines easily. I had never experienced a migraine before. My sleep problems became pronounced and I did a sleep test, which shows that I never passed a rem2 sleep stage. More medications for this condition were prescribed. Today i am on permanent disability due directly to the Lupron shots. I am still in severe pain with endometrial cysts that periodically rupture and endometriosis with fibromyalgia pain..

    Lupron was given to me to treat endometriosis. Instead it gave me daily migraines that lasted for over a year. My doctor not only told me lupron would treat endo but that it couldn't cause my migraines - all false. I was in a living hell, not only having chronic endo pain but then adding chronic migraines. Since I couldn't combine my migraine medicine with the pain meds I was taking for endo, I had to make a a choice each day on which pain I was going to treat that day. Cruel!!!! We MUST stop the mis-information and the cruelty in treatments of endo.
