My husband had prostate cancer and was put on Lupron, every 3 months injections. He developed dementia within weeks, and had a heart attack a few months later-with no history of heart disease. He also became violent and unable to control his temper.REPORT COMMENTS

I have had nothing but medical problems since I was given 6 Lupron shots in 1995 and 6 more Lupron shots in 1999. I suffer with bone and joint pain, Vitamin D deficiency, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, insomnia, & depression. I recently (5/10/2013) had total ankle replacement after having a talar dome osteochondral defect (hole in ankle bone) not once but twice. Now I am currently also dealing with cervical spine disk problems that is severely pinching the nerves in my arms causing pain and weakness. I feel like I was robbed of my life.REPORT COMMENTS

Although I had "only" 2 lupron injections, it has impacted my life and I regret every day for trusting my doctor. I was diagnosed last year with degenerative disc disease after herniating a disc in my back. I have severe pain in my right shoulder, neck and lower back on a daily basis. This drug is poison and should be taken off the market.REPORT COMMENTS

Please Please Please Investigate this drug!!! PLEASE don't let more women suffer from reps and drug companies telling doctors this medicine is ok. IT IS NOT. I was told that this med was safe, I was told there were no side effects. I was NEVER given information about this medicine, the insert came with my injection and I didn't realize it until i saw the nurse open my shot (4th injection of 2nd round) and I asked for it. She told me no, so the next month I went in, I stole it. I was astonished that all of my severe side effects (severe bone pain, migraines, nausea, memory loss, neurological problems, intestinal problems/bleeding) were red flags for quitting the meds right away. But the Dr. KEPT ME ON IT!. WHY???? Did he not know, or was he assuaged by the drug rep?? I come here today because I was just diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease Scoliosis. I also have neurogenic bladder retention which requires interstim nerve stimulation device. I Never had this before these injections. It is not fair that I live in PAIN every single day, It is not fair that I am not alone!! That thousands of woman are going through the same thing PLEASE! SOMEBODY! Do Something!!!! Don't Let this keep Happening!REPORT COMMENTS

I had Lupron injections from 2009-2010. I had debilitating pelvic pain, extreme itching of the scalp( I used castor oil on the scalp to pull the toxin out of my scalp). Itching is still occurring but only when I am ovulating. My fibroids have diminished but I have pain in the temples and the right side of my head. When I was on Lupron my pelvic bone and thighs would hurt so much that I could not walk or get out of bed in the morning for work. I had coworkers tease and gossip about my sickness. I eventually resigned and found another job. My eyes became extremely watery, my cholesterol and blood pressure was through the roof. I had debilitating Migraines that caused my equilibrium to be off balance. I have extreme weight gain from the slowness of metabolism. Mental clarity has been an ongoing struggle for me. The skin itching and the hair weakness are other side effects. I get extreme chills when I am not ovulating, to this day . When I am on my period, I experience hot flashes, which I drink apple cider vinegar with molasses in 8oz water. Once I had a doctor give me a prescription for an anti-depressant. I chose not to take them. She told me that it will calm the symptoms of menopause. I chose to go herbal. 3 Years later and I still have some major symptoms while others come and go. But I am not as sick as I was when I was taking Lupron injections back in 09'-2010.REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron should not be nearly as widely used as it is. I would have made a different choice had I fully known how much and long it would ruin my life. Lupron is a very expensive poison that ruins the lives of people looking for a cure. I had two injections that were three months apart for a six month treatment. It's been a year since my last shot for endometriosis and I'm much worse off now than before treatment and still have cronic pain. I immediately started having side effects, weight gain, moodiness, extreme hot flashes, insonmia, memory loss, anxiety and depression just to name a few. I now have problems with my cholesterol, vitamin d deficient, chronic and at times extreme fatigue and my adrenal gland no longer functions. We'll see what else is added at yet another follow up appointment to combat the side effects. The more time passes the worse my health becomes. I would tell anyone to pursue a treatment route that does not include Lupron!REPORT COMMENTS
