Lupron has caused a whole host of problems in my life. I was given 6 shots of it in the hopes that it would shrink my fibroid tumor. It did nothing but cause grief on my life.Mar 2nd, 2014Someone from Braselton, GA writes:

The memory loss is extreme and it makes you feel like you're stupid. You can't remember things you know you KNOW! I change my passwords every other day because I can't remember. One day I called my husband and said can you tell me where the button is to open the sunroof. He said what's wrong? You know where it is.........I had NO clue. Sometimes it makes me want to cry because I am only 33 and I fear I will lose my memory all together. I have been on lupron four times in my life and have been off for about two years and my memory loss is getting worse. Please, PLEASE take this off the market. I've built a lifetime of memories and Lupron is taking them away.REPORT COMMENTS

Do not ever take this drug. It's not worth it. Have surgery right away. Degenerative disc disease; arthritis; cervical spine bulging disc; bone spurs; tooth cavity; depression.REPORT COMMENTS

Have experienced the usual side-effects (hot flashes, joint pain, etc.), but the most problematic has been debilitating leg cramps. Agree with the 2/16/14 comment from another sufferer; "Lupron has destroyed my life"!!REPORT COMMENTS

I have a Neurological Condition; Arnold Chiari Malformation of the Brain. I have however never had anxiety issues until I was given the Lupron Shot for Endometriosis following Endometrial Ablation Surgery. And all of my Family Dr.'s & Neurologist's records support this. I was in the hospital a month. I believe that if you have a Neurological condition, do not take this medication. It can do much more harm than good. Isn't 12,000 reported adverse side effects and 1,100 reported deaths enough to recall Lupron? I have worked in the medical field before and personally I would not want to give a Drug that causes Side Effects, such as this Medication does, to my patients. Please investigate Lupron more thoroughly and consider Recalling this Drug.REPORT COMMENTS

I was between 7-8 years of age when I was given Lupron for Precious Puberty. I have headaches, bone/joint pain, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc, blood disorders, insomnia, anxiety, depression. I suffer in pain everyday, I am 27 years of age and my body feels like I'm 90 or 100. My Mother feels bad and guilty that the doctors didn't inform her of the long term side effects was going to have on me, she was doing it out of love for me and didn't want me to develope too soon. If anyone is considering Lupron as treatment for anything "DON'T" I repeat "DON'T" find something else because I don't want any children or adult's to suffer what I am going through.REPORT COMMENTS

Where is the real data about the long term side effects from Lupron? For a drug that has nearly $1 billion in annual sales there should be more trials and more data. I have been dealing with problems I have never heard of before and the OB/GYN still doesn't believe it is the Lupron and keeps sending me to other doctors. Tragic and unbelievable.REPORT COMMENTS

My problem started in June 2005 when my gyno found a fibroid which she said was the size of a egg.I had no idea when she told me that day to go pick up lupron depot and bring it back to her office to start my 6 months of injections.I was told this drug was the cure,that my tumor would shrink,WRONG!I went through all the side effects depression,hot flashes from this poison flowing threw my vains.It's been 9 years and I've been diagnosed since lupron with rheumatoid arthritis,joint pain,stomach problems, memory loss so bad that in the beginning I went to WAL MART and got separated from my family,they found me crying and wondering around lost.I've been diagnosed with wheat allergies & celiac disease.I have muscle spasms in my back,stomach,and my bottom that come on in the middle of the night that take me to the floor with excurating pain.The pain in my bottom is now constant,I can't sit at all an spend all my time in bed. I have also been told I have an auto immune problem.I've been to 6 gyno' s trying to find someone to help me.I feel lost and alone.My days are spent tryin to find relieve from all the bad things that I feel started after my lupron jections.I have had to beg doctors to try to help me with no luck,my guess is that they are pushing this poison to patient's and the doctors are being paid to keep their mouth shut.I have diabetes heart problems my heart runs so fast that at times I think I'm going to die and most days I wish I could,for then I will find peace from taking lupron depot.REPORT COMMENTS

26years old. When i started lupron injections in march of 2013 i was told that my pain should be gone for at least a few years after stopping. It has been 7 months and it hurts FAR worse than it ever did!! My sex drive was very high, now I have to force myself to be intimate. Weight gain, my gosh I've packed on 50lbs. My anxiety is sky rocket. My hips are always dislocating and I've never had a problem like that before. Moody constantly. I feel like im stuck in someone's body that's not my own. Worst decision a doctor has ever talked me intoREPORT COMMENTS
