I researched this drug and highly debated getting it because I have bipolar disorder. i consulted my psych dr. and he increased some of my meds to hopefully prevent depression which is one of the side effects. However my uterine pain was so bad i took the chance. I had one injection at the lowest dose two months ago. i can deal with hot flashes and migraines, but this drug made me tail spin into a severe depressive psychosis with suicidal and homicidal thoughts ending me up in the hospital. it's been two months now and i am still having severe yo-yoing mood swings hourly! i can't wait for it to be out of my system. I am completely debilitated by this and it has stopped my life. if they refuse to take it off the market then please change the warnings to NOT GIVE TO PATIENTS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS! -

It's been 10 years since my last Lupron injection and I am experiencing a number of problems. I took Lupron 2 separate times for 6 months each (first in 1996 and the second in 2003). I have a doctors appointment Thursday to start treating my long line of Lupron lasting effects. This drug is dangerous and is poison to the body. Literally, from head to toe, I have health problems now. When I initially took the drug they told me there was not any lasting effects and after my 6th injection I would never even knew I had taken it...This is what happens when doctors receive kickbacks from pushing certain drugs.REPORT COMMENTS

I've had 4 lupron shots, for stage 4 prostate cancer. My PSA was 160, now it is .2. I guess these shots 'pulled me out of the fire', but now, after discovering this site, I am worried. Its been 2 1/2 months since my last shot, and the hot flashes are STILL intense. No way will I take another! Patients should definitely visit phoenixtears.caREPORT COMMENTS

A year and a half after my last shot and I am still having nerve issues on the left side of my body. While on the shot, my hands started to go numb. When talking to my OB, he said it was a rare side effect and to stop getting the shots immediately. Since then, I have had more health issues on the left side of my body than ever. We treat the symptoms, but can't seem to make anything go away for good. This shot is hell and needs to be studied futher!REPORT COMMENTS

My daughter was given 7 months of injections in 2003 to treat infertility and endometriosis. She is now a 34 year old woman living with the effects of this dangerous drug. Please if you are reading this Do not become another victim. An endocrinologist just told my daughter she has PCOS and should never been treated with Lipton. It destroyed her immune system.She lives with constant fatigue along with frequent sinus and ear infections that turn into bronchitis and pneumonia. This drug put her into a menopausal state at the age of 23. The depression and emotional impact has been unbelievably difficult for me to watch. This can never be undone for my daughter but if her story stops this from hurting other young women I would at least feel that something has come from her years of pain and suffering.REPORT COMMENTS

I was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid, after multiple visits to the doctor complaining of fatigue and heavy bleeding she decided the best option would be to take lupron for three months to try to shrink the tumor before surgery. Why????? it is only the size of a golf ball. I'm only 44 and have a long way before menopause, not looking to have more children, why not just do the hysterectomy and be done with it........why mess my body up irreversibly, this drug sounds horrific I'm so glad i read all your comments. my thoughts and prayers are with you all who suffer from doctors receiving kick backs when they prescribe this poison. I WILL be calling her on monday to say noooo way!!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I was given Lupron in 1999/2000 to treat endometreosis. 13 years later I live in pain everyday, I suffer from brittle bones, constant fatigue, still get hotflashes, major depression, and I truly feel it is because I let this poison be injected into my body. I don't wish this pain on anyone, we should do something to stop it.REPORT COMMENTS

I have been diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis. Every doctor I have been to recommends Lupron, however they have no evidence that it will work and I have been warned of major side effects!! I am refusing to take it. Some doctors have even refused to help me because I won't take their advice to inject this poison into my system. Its disgusting and degrading. I need help, not an unsafe option that has terrible side effects and consequences.REPORT COMMENTS

I took 6 monthly injections to help with stage 3 endometriosis. It stayed in my system for about 8 months. That was 8 months of hell-mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia. Not to mention it was not even effective. I went to the ER for intense pain and bleeding about 4 months in. Now I have bone/joint pain everyday. I was just diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I am 29 and will have this for the rest of my life. Thanks lupron and dr. Brown for ruining my life! Do not take this drug! I am very disappointed in the FDA for allowing this drug to reach the public.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm a victim of the the severe side effects of Abbott & Takeda's mfg of Lupron & Norethindrone Acetate drugs. I took these drugs in 2010 and as a result the company retaliated against me because I blew the whistle on them via this web page. I went to FDA, OSHA, Congress & Senators. Bottom line our government agencies are not here to protect consumer rights to safe & effective products or protect you if you retaliated against by Big Pharma & your HIPPA is breached. in addition Abbott Post Marketing & Abbotts Human Resource will expose your confidential information & your doctors are too devoted to drug companies tonreport your chief complaints to the FDA, therefore your side effects don't get logged in to trigger an investigation. Also if you call Abbotts complaint line, it's up to their internal doctors to determine if your complaint deems any action, they just do a statistical data dump to FDA once a year. Anyone interested in truly wanting to make both Miles White, Rick Gonzales & Govt Investigators accountable for negligence of protecting your right to know the truth & taking action on listening to us consumers, I'm willing to take the lead to final exposé them, but need all victims who suffered themselves, or a family member or loss someone due due suicide, or other To formally unite & join our own "Support Action Group" & boycott these companies & Board of Directors. Please post a response & we together will do something, as Congress & Regulating agencies won't take action against them due to financial & politcal gain. We need to expose them via public media & protest world wide & force our tax paying agencies to listen to us vs. Big Pharma & their lawyers. Thank you & as hard & painful it is to get through each day, it's one more that together we can all unite & expose everyone who refuses to listen to us victims.REPORT COMMENTS
