I received Lupron injections two years ago for chronic pain caused by fibroids/ovarian cysts and have been experiencing side effects ever since. The debilitating side effects have crippled my life (personally, professionally, etc.). Please provide additional information for those of us suffering from the drug including how to treat effects and possible lawsuits surrounding the issue. Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS

Both my sister and I suffer from Endometriosis and both of us have taken Lupron. It cause me so much body aches and pain, anxiety, depression. My sister has it worse she has had Lupron 3 TIMES and now she has so many complications with her back shes on her 6 surgery and shes only 37 she and I exchange stories and one thing is common WE BOTH FEEL OLDER than WE ARE. WE BOTH HAVE SAME PROBLEMS WITH BONE and she has it worse thanks to the added doses she had of lupron. Just came from doc that once again wanted to put me on this. SHAME on all doctors for not being more careful on what they prescribe. Even when you tell the doc how much lupron causes problems they still push and push!!REPORT COMMENTS

I'm told I'm crazy....that the side effects go away after the drug is stopped. It's been almost 3 years and I am STILL having issues. My dentist who is treating my severe TMJ is now finally realizing I may be onto something with my Lupron theory as he has had two new female patients within the past week with jaw pain who have just recently discontinued use of Lupron. This POISON needs to be pulled!REPORT COMMENTS

Five yrs ago I had Lupron injections & was only told I would go into temp. menopause. There is NOTHING TEMPORARY ABOUT THIS MED. Hot flashes & sweats are bad enough, I certainly wasn't told I would have several daily symptoms of diabetes-frequent urination-sudden drowsiness-quick agitation-blurry double vision-sudden hunger-drastic wt. fluctuation-rapid heart rate w/ skipped beats(scary)-overwhelming exhaustion dehydration &nausea. My spine also temp. locks up on me too(feels like a pulling pain or rubber band across my back) I have gotten NO WHERE w/dr.'s. They keep saying I'm not diabetic yet my symptoms persist(won't give me glucose tolerance test though). It became clear to me the last couple app.(refusal to go over my lab reports & what they meant) that I just wasn't going to get any help or answers. After reviewing my records I realized all these symptoms started shortly after the Lupron injections & it's been hell ever since. How do you explain this to your family when the doctors won't explain it to you? Even though I'm very sorry other people are going through this,I don't feel quite as alone now.To anyone considering these injections: DON'T, YOU'LL FEEL LIKE CRAP FOREVER!!!! Yes, Abbott & and the doctors pushing it should be ashamed of yourselves!!! TAKE LUPRON OFF THE MARKET NOW!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

This drug is terrible!!! My best friend has had the worst and most crippling anxiety! It was so bad that she would leave her college classes early to get away from the people that she thought were judging her, or skip it entirely. This happened numerous times and has caused her social life to come to a halt. Please get your friends to sign this and prevent the making of more victims of this terrible drug.REPORT COMMENTS

Since I started Lupron I've had horrible debilitating anxiety.I have anxiety all the time now. I can't talk to people, even friends and I'm becoming a shut in. I even wake up in the middle of the night in utter terror for no reason. This is ruining my life. It get's so bad sometimes I think I'm having a heart attack and one side of my body goes numb. I've also had eye twitching as well when my anxiety would get really bad. I also get dizzy a lot and feel like I'm going to pass out. Lupron as almost completely ruined my life. I hate the drug so much I wont let it!REPORT COMMENTS

I received my 2nd Lupron injection for Endometriosis om April 1st. On April 2nd, I started having intermittent sharp pains in the left/rear part of my head. By the end of that week the pain in my head had become constant and dibilitating. My blood pressure has never been high, but since starting Lupron it is critically high most of the time. Dr's say it's just a migraine and give me pain kills which I can't take during the day. Been to ER twice. Yesterday I was transferred by ambulance from Urgent Care to the ER with no real relief. So frustrating.REPORT COMMENTS

I just started the lupron about a week and a half ago and the back and hip pain that I am now enduring is unbelievable, I don't know how I am going to get through this. I don't know what to do I can barely walk. The pain shoots down through my legs and I can barely stand or sit down without crying.REPORT COMMENTS

I did Lupron shots for my stage 4 Endometriosis and 24 hours after the 4th shot, I started peeing blood and this was coupled with severe pain over a 10. Dr. checked into the bladder and it was determined to be a side effect of the Lupron. This stuff is way to dangerous on the body - get if off the market.REPORT COMMENTS

I have had endometriosis for over 15 years. I have had over 9 laps surgeries. Finally, when I changed doctors, she mention lupron therapy/ Nind you before this I have never heard of Lupron, She said most people tolerated it and would get rid of the endo pain. All I was told was the basic side affects, like hot flashes etc.. I decided to try it. This was in 2010 -2011. I had two 3.25mg 3 month shot therapy. Did not work. Later just to have a partial hysterectomy in 2012. Now SInce the therapy, I feel worse off then what I was before the shot. I have constant headaches, pelvis, joint pain and now was just diagnosed with Spine Degenerative Disease! I'm only 32, fit and used to be very active. I would work out on a regular with my endo. I never had any type of body aches and back pain. Now my body feels like its 90! I do believe it has all to do with the Lupron! It needs to be taken off the market! I will never be the same! I am currently on pain managment beacuse of it.REPORT COMMENTS

I received one injection of lupron 15 years ago for endometiosis and would not continue because it made me so sick, ie classic symptoms. I have had unexplained joint pain all these years, early onset of arthritis, fought with depression, and frequent onsets of exhaustion. I never made the connection until my husband had to go on the drug for prostrate cancer and i did further research for myself. Shame on all my doctors for not knowing better. Now i know it was not just me. Shame on this health care system and the fda.REPORT COMMENTS

I've had daily migraines since Oct 2009; they started a few days after my 1st Lupron injection for Endometriosis. I have not been able to work since they started and the latest from my Neurologist is that this is permanent. The migraines were just the tip, I have degenerative joint/disc disease/osteoarthritis and I have bone spurs on my spine. I am forced to deal with hot flashes, memory loss, dizziness, anxiety, depression, insomnia and I am losing my hair.REPORT COMMENTS

No one will help me. I feel so sick still, and the ER is only giving me ativan because they state that is why I am having chest pains. Now 1 1/2 months after Lupron, I'm having seizures and chest pains. And the migraine/nausea/hip pain will never stop.REPORT COMMENTS
