I took one 3 month shot in 2000 following a surgery to remove endometriosis. My life changed after that one shot. I left work for two weeks for surgery and was never able to go back full time. I was bed ridden for almost two months. I experienced bone pain, severe stomach pain, extreme weakness, migraines, and more. I initially lost 30 pounds within months, but later gained more than 60 and can not get the weigh off even following a very healthy diet. In time, I was diagnosed with a systemic disease, interstitial cystitis, pernicious anemia, corneal eye disease, and a brain tumor. Were they all connected to this drug? I don't know. I can only say Lupron Depot seemed to be the catalyst for the SUDDEN decline in my health. This drug should never be administered to anything living. -

I was told you could only have 6 in your life but was later told that was not true. They gave me a total of 10 shots of this and life has never been the same.REPORT COMMENTS

This drug is now being promoted in Australia under Lucrin to "treat trans children" as a puberty blocker. These kids will be dead before their teens.REPORT COMMENTS

I was put on Lupron for Endometriosis in my bladder, 41 years old, I got 2 shots and missed the 3rd one because my insurance company told me that I was out of pocket and I considered that it was so expensive for me, soon after my first shot I got horrible hot flashes, back pain, suicidal thoughts, weight gain, I feel sick all the time, I got two flu viruses that lasted for 6 weeks, loss of memory, short of breath and I remember one of my visits to my ob-gyn the nurse asked me for my age and I've totally forgotten it, that happened to me on my first shot, now I can't even remember few things, names, songs, words, and things of my daily life. I blame myself because I never did a whole research about this drug and I trusted my gynecologist. My shots were given to me back in 2009-10. Since then I have had heavier periods, cramps, fatigue, eye pain, dry eyes, my back pain doesn't allow me to sleep at night, and from January 2013 to April my period didn't come, then it came on April 2013 and hasn't stop and my last blood test show some thyroid problems. Please don't take this medication, take this drug off the market. To Doctors ...you all have daughters, sisters, mothers, please don't play with the health of women of all ages, children and men.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been on 2 rounds of this injection - first monthly injections for 12 months with no hormone feedback, during which time I developed nearly all of the listed possible side effects, but not doctors, with their limited knowledge of the medication did not put it together. The 2nd round was a 3-month injection - again with no hormone feedback. All the side effects, that had not fully disappear after the 1st round, came on FULL FORCE. I reported the side effects to all of my doctors, especially those that say to report the side effect immediately, to no avail. The response was to make sure I don't take it again in the future. In the meantime, I am dealing with cardiac issues, dementia, osteopenia, etc, etc. My cardiologist is following me closely until this medication gets out of my system, and all I can do is cross my fingers and hope the effects/impacts are not long term. This medication needs to be pulled or used until only the most dire circumstances!! Most of all, doctors need to be better informed and aware of how to address the side effects. Don't wait! Please! This is destroying lives! I'm on 38 and non-functional at this time!REPORT COMMENTS

My daughter, 47, was recently diagnosed with hormonal breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy & went through radiation treatment. They then put her on Tamoxifen. They had to take her off because she had a bad reaction. The next thing was to give her shots of Lupron to put her in menopause so that she could take a replacement medication. They told her that she would have to receive Lupron shots every 3 months in order to take the new medication. The only mention of side effects was hot flashes & some joint pain. After the first shot, she did experience the hot flashes which she described as extreme & the joint pain was more than she expected. They told her that it would lessen as time went on. 3 months later, she got her 2nd shot & that is when her whole world came crashing down. She could not work anymore due to the pain in her hands & back. She is on several pain medications along with Cymbalta. She has been told that the Lupron is now out of her system but the severe side effects have not diminished. We are praying that it goes away soon.REPORT COMMENTS
