My doctor recommended injections to stop fibroid bleeding. I had 3 injections total. I thought I was going to die after the third injection. I have never felt worse in my life and I have gone through a horrendous surgery on my spine, and that didn't even compare. My doctor eventually told me that I had developed fibromyalgia -- and that it was a side effect from the Lupron and could possibly stay with me even after the Lupron eventually left my body. My blood pressure skyrocketed so my doctor then prescribed blood pressure medication, which only made me worse. Finally after going off all medications, my body returned to a more normal state. I continue to have some pain, but nothing like what I was enduring while the Lupron was still in my system. I truly felt like I had been poisoned and was slowly dying. It was horrifying! This drug needs to be removed from the market. It should never be used on anything living. Please destroy it!Oct 9th, 2013Someone from Brooklyn, MD signed.

I took Lupron as part of an IVF treatment. I was required to give myself injections daily in my stomach for 30 days. Since having my child (IVF worked on first attempt), I've experienced joint/bone pain in my hips, back, hands/fingers, feet. Not to mention my inability to sleep at night, irregular periods, hot flashes, inability to concentrate, stomach issues. I've been tested for RA, that came back negative. I have horrible pain during my monthly cycle that no medicine I've taken will touch. No endometriosis. I've just dealt with the pain and other issues. I've asked my fertility dr about these issues to which I'm told, "Nope, no one has ever complained of any of that after going through a round of IVF." I was floored at all the information I have recently found. When I first began experiencing these symptoms, I began doing research and couldn't find anything. I did more research last year and found a few things. Today, I've found a slew of different people who have used this drug for many different reasons. I must say this drug MUST NOT BE AVAILABLE anymore. I cannot imagine what I will feel like as I age. I am 31 and took this drug when I was 27. I'm still experiencing all of the issues I mentioned. They've never EVER gone away.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been on long term Lupron use for about 3 years for treatment of my endometriosis and in that time have developed severe bone/joint pain, incapacitating body pain and fatigue, and memory loss. I have had countless bloodwork done, only to be told it is normal. I am currently seeing a rheumatologist who has diagnosed it all as fibromyalgia. My life has been forever changed since Lupron.REPORT COMMENTS

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer May 2011. I ended up getting treatment at CTCA. I had many concerns and questions about Lupron, I was told that at the end of my three month shot I would have no side effect, Two years have pasted, I refused to continue treatment with Luprone. This page is not long enough to express my concerns and long term side effects that I have had sense taking only one three month shot. I am not the person I used to be, I have always been in great shape owned my own business for 30 years. fatigue and memory loss are just a few of the side effects that Have made life very difficult. I struggle daily to just get out of bed. Be Careful!!REPORT COMMENTS

I've had 2 shots. The 3 month dose and then the 1 month dose. I'm told by my doctor that the side effects should be gone by now but it's been 3 months since my last shot and the joint/bone pain is horrible. I've learned to live with the other side effects but the pain is too intense to bear. I'm 41 and had no joint pain prior to the shots but my doctors office is saying go see your family doctor to be tested, it could be a number of different things and the timing of the shot is coincidence. I take ibuprofen and naproxen everyday to try and find relief. I walk and do yoga stretches. Nothing helps. If I knew then what I know now, I would have said no and endured the endo pain a little longer until my hysterectomy could be done. But I trusted my doctor. I love my doctor. However, I think the side effects of this drug were overlooked and the wrong decision was made. Now I feel I'm being pushed aside to figure this out on my own. I'm scared and sad. Every day I wake up hoping this is the day I'll start to feel better and every day I get out of bed stiff, I walk down the stairs and get sharp pains in my knees, and I struggle to move through my day like a normal person. This drugs cons outweigh the pros by far.REPORT COMMENTS
