I was on lupron for only about 11 days four months ago. The side effects (tingling from head to toe, headache, anxiety, palpitations) were so bad that I had to stop treatment. Now four months later I still have major anxiety and I have NEVER had anxiety in 41 years-EVER. The joint and back pain, nerve pain, insomnia and other symptoms are just not going away. This drug needs to be re-evaluated to a significant degree.REPORT COMMENTS

I was on Lipton in 2009. I took the injections for 6 months. I had a horrible experience. my eyebrows got thinner and thinner and eventually I ended up with no eyebrows and they never grew back. My hair thinned some. I have constant body ache and chronic fatigue. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I am only 41 and feel like I'm 80. I ended up having to have a complete hysterectomy anyway. I wish I never did this.REPORT COMMENTS

I took these shots between1998 and the early 2000's. I have had progressive bone/joint and muscle problems since stopping this medication. I now have all-over osteoarthritis. No one in my family has had this problem. All major joints are affected. Concerned that I am heading toward total disability. I was in my early 40's when I started these shots and bone/ joint-wise, I was having no problems. How do you stop this from progressing to being bedridden? This stuff needs to be taken off the market.REPORT COMMENTS

When surgery, radiation, etc. fail to arrest prostate cancer and PSA is rising androgen deprivation therapy is often the first method employed to lower PSA and delay onset of clinical metastasis. Steroids (DES) and estrogen were effective prior to Lupron but did increase the risk of blood clots, liver damage, and heart attack. Lupron doesn't produce blood clots it merely makes us stupid, fat, lazy, with breasts, brittle bones, and depressed. Estradiol transdermal patches are a cost effective and rational alternative that greatly lowers blood clot and liver risk; used by millions of women and tens of thousand male to female transsexuals. Breast development may remain a side effect but bones stay strong and other Lupron side effects including cost are mitigated.REPORT COMMENTS

I took a 3 month dose of Lupron Depot at my Gynaecologist's advice. Her plan was to do a minimally invasive hysterectomy after a 6 month dose. She said that the Lupron will cause a temporary menopause and shrink the 9x10cm fibroid and a similarly sized irregular shaped adenomyosis. I have suffered with pain due to endometriosis for 14 years since my C-section. I thought so was finally going to get relief. I accepted to the plan and took a 3 month dose on Jan 23, 2017. Within 2 weeks of taking this injection, my right eye started swelling up and the eye started protruding out. The Ophthalmologist at Stanford Hospital has adopted delaying tactics and does not want to address the problem of diagnose it. It has been 1.5 months since my first consultation and yet no diagnosis. Nobody wants to acknowledge that this is a Lupron side effect. They tried to blame it on thyroid disease (Graves) but my TSH is normal. Now they're sending me to an Occuloplast surgeon, I'm skeptic about every step the medical professionals take. They act like lawyers than functioning as compassionate care givers whose ethics should be to cure patients. Instead they are in the business of CYA for themselves and for the big Pharma! I wish I had known Lupron would cause life time disability! Right now I'm worried about what happens after the three month dose wears off... will I ever be "normal" again, the way I was prior to Lupron?! Like someone else shared, I would take the pain due to endometriosis than the long term side effects of this deadly drug!REPORT COMMENTS

I had problems at the time I was on this awful drug but hadn't been informed of the possible side effects so didn't attribute them to the medication. And I continue to suffer from those early effects (it's been over 3 years since I got my 2 injections), and 2 years ago I developed some additional things as well. I now wonder if I'll ever be back to my pre-Lupron level of health???REPORT COMMENTS

I was on Lupron from oct 2014-mar 2015. I still ended up needing surgery to clean out the endometriosis afterwards. Regardless, it is now 2017 and i and still dealing with the side effects yet they are getting worse and ruining my life. I was a hair stylist since I was 16 (32 yrs old now). And can no longer do it. if I'm lucky if I can get out of bed my legs hurt so bad and are so weak. They give out for no reason and no doctor could tell me why except assume from the Lupron side effects. I lose feeling in my arms and legs. My hair is falling out so incredibly bad and that was the one this I had control of and loved. I had fun thick hair now I have half the amount and thinning almost baldish spots at the temples. I blackout.have mood swings so bad I either am crying screaming and yelling at someone for nothing giving an attitude and then going back to be happy. Have a hard time walking. Have severe fibromyalgia.i have joint nerve and muscle pain that is only treated by heavy pain killers. Horrible migraines that require another medicine. I was a healthy young dance teach , hair stylist, mommy who never missed a god damn thing at school for my daughter. Now I miss almost everything bc of the pain and I'm embarrassed and I hate that she's so upset. Went on this because I though I was doing something good for myself to have another child. I've since had an early on miscarriage, can barely get out of bed , cant work, had to give up driving , and our car because we couldn't afford it anymore, about to lose out apartment. It's amazing how you think your are doing something good for yourself and it ends up destroying you and your life and families. My poor daughter feels the brunt of it. mind my language but **** You Lupron! You took my life away. Best part I have to go get another laparoscopy every 2 years still. Hope the drug company enjoyed their $1500/shot that I had to beg my insurance company to cover and fight with my husband to let me go on. How more women are you going to let be highly depressed anxious and suicidal?REPORT COMMENTS

I was given Lupron injection after having endometriosis surgery 9 yrs ago. I told the nurse I was pregnant showed her my positive test. She gave me a pregnancy test and waited 2 mins looked at the test said its negative and gave me the injection. 2 weeks later they confirmed I was pregnant. Needless to say I miscarried one of the twins and the second was born with 2 testicular hernias and some developmental delays. I also suffer with constant hot flashes, joint pain, and migraines. These are just a few of my ongoing issues with Lupron.REPORT COMMENTS
