My husband of 45 years received Lupron Depot shots for prostate cancer. He was never depressed before and certainly not suicidal. A month ago he committed suicide and I firmly believe the Lupron was responsible.REPORT COMMENTS

I just recently made the correlation between the Lupron injections I've been taking for IVF and my joint pain. Prior to IVF, I experienced occasional joint aches in my knees which I believe was attributed to yoga. Once I started taking Lupron, the aches became pain and seemingly moved from my knees to my shoulder-arm joints, right hip, and left ankle. I can even feel a gnawing sensation in my upper thigh muscle that radiates down the my entire length of my leg and I have a very difficult time walking because of it. I feel like my body is slowly turning to stone. It's awful. I don't even have the same gait anymore, instead I move around like my 75-year old father. I feel embarrassed by it and my condition depresses me because I can't move and do all the things I did just before I started taking Lupron. I'm asking for more research to be done so that other women can be armed with facts and possibly avoid experiencing the joint/muscle pains associated with taking this medication.REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron has absolutely ruined my health. My bones feel as they are breaking and have me in tears. My joints ache on a daily and I lose function in my hands do to the pain. I have had endometriosis for 17 years, in that 17 years I have had a dozen surgeries. I was on Lupron for 2 years from 2015 to 2017. I am 36 years old and I feel like I'm 50+. I would highly recommend you find a different way of treatment and NOT get these injections. You may think these us are crazy but there is TOO MANY of us with the same issues to not look into this further.REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron ruined my health and my life. I was relatively normal before I was forced to use this "medicine:" I could walk, stand, work, etc as long as I needed to. Now, I am practically crippled - bone pain that feels like limbs are breaking and exhaustion/weakness. I need my husband and Senior Citizen mother to do anything that takes more than 10-30 minutes to do... I have had to change careers twice because I CAN'T work; now that i've found a job I am actually able to do, I am discovering it's not enough income to cover my minimal monthly expenses so I am applying for Disability (at the age of 37). I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a year after I stopped taking Lupron and I am wondering if taking 4 doses of Lupron actually CAUSED the Fibro. I am warning every woman I meet not to take this drug. Lupron was supposed to destroy my massive fibroid - but it ended up killing ME.REPORT COMMENTS

I was healthy, happy, energetic, and was living life. In 2007, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo and was prescribed Lupron after I had a lap done. I have taken Lupron injections 3 times for a total of 13 months worth of injections. Since I have taken the injections, I have been diagnosed with various diseases and have absolutely zero quality of life! If I had known then what I know now, my life would be so different! Please see that Lupron is investigated and taken off the market before more women suffer from its' long term side effects that are only expected to last "3 to 6 months" from date of last injection. It has been far beyond 3 to 6 months and I'm still suffering and unfortunately, only getting worse with time! This drug is deadly and should not be used especially not for endo patients! Do what's right instead of being money hungry and save lives!REPORT COMMENTS

2nd day of my 1st shot! I'm exhausted,dizzy, leg cramps, no appetite, chills, nauseated, itching, moody, this drug is horrible! And severe headaches! I won't be getting another shot! I'd rather lose my last ovary than feel like this! My family and friends said I'm pale as a ghost and can see I'm sick from this shot! I hope this ends soon! I'm a wife and mom and I'm so exhausted even to shower I started seeing spots and had to sit on the shower floor! Please look into this! If you are thinking of this shot please look up the lawsuits and side effects!REPORT COMMENTS

I was put on Synarel for severe endometriosis. For 30 years subsequently, I have suffered every day with crushing pain and fatigue, of which, I cannot truly and adequately describe, since it is baffling, all-intrusive, and life-killing. I struggle with glandular disorders, deficiencies, allergies and sensitivities, non-refreshing sleep, and all manner of disturbances, just to name a little of what I go through every single minute of every single day. I have been effectively taken out of life. Within the healthcare system, I have been treated like a liar, a pariah, a mental case, a guinea pig, a dumbass, and a near criminal undeserving of the smallest amount of dignity, much less relief from a massive, cascading "syndrome" of physical problems. Labeled with trash diagnoses, we, the woefully de-energized, have to fight for any semblance of care and understanding. The doctors and drug companies and insurance fiascos take our money, tell us some b.s., and leave us to a fate much worse than death. I reiterate: much worse than death. It is neverending and much too much. We are brave and tough people - nobody could live this way without a ton of character and fortitude. We are your mothers and your daughters, and we are suffering. Please help us.REPORT COMMENTS

My best friend has been given this and is due for another shot end of month which she is refusing. It is not ok to give someone who has hopes of being normal again something that makes them feel they're loosing grasp of everything in their life. No person should ever go through this. Please make sure nobody else has to suffer as she has.REPORT COMMENTS
