I am in shock & really freaking out after reading every one's comment. I am due to start on Tuesday for my lupron shots for enlarge fibroid to help shrink it for 3 months then do a hystrectomy afterwards. Now I KNOW I won't be doing these shots after reading this & will be going for a 2nd opinion for other options. Thank you all for putting this out & I wish nothing but the best for you all.REPORT COMMENTS

My hotflashes have been so bad for 12 years since taking Lupron for endometriosis that I am considering having my sympathetic nerve severed by a thoracic surgeon at Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. It is a dangerous procedure, but I cannot live a normal live with the constant daylong sweating that I have endured for so long. I am 49 years old, hold 2 master's degrees, and cannot get through a single day without being soaked. I am outraged that this has happened to me as a result of taking this drug.REPORT COMMENTS

A friend of my daughter?s is currently serving an eighteen year prison sentence for killing her husband while taking the drug Lupron. There are so many aspects of this case that are troubling, both she and her husband were Christians working for a Christian organization; they were trying get pregnant on the drug Lupron being used as a fertility measure; she did not even have so much as a traffic ticket prior to the incident; she has very little memory of the event. In reading your website many of you point to depression, anxiety, emotional instability, volatility, aggressive behavior, disorientation, memory loss, etc. At the time of her trial this website did not exist. No one even considered the possibility that Lupron might have been the probable cause until now. The evidence has now become overwhelming as to both the physical and psychological implications of this drug. No one who knows Michele can understand how this could have happened. I am asking any of you who might have had violent thoughts or experiences while on Lupron that would lend support to the premise that it could have been the drug that caused this violent behavior, to please tell us your story. We are trying to find enough evidence through your experiences to justify asking for a new trial or pardon. Michele still has nine years to serve.

I took Lupron in 2006 for the standard 6 month course. It damaged my memory and to this day I am not the same. I feel dumb.REPORT COMMENTS

I started lupron 4 days ago, and since day 2 I have felt worse than I have in my entire life. I was prescribed the shot because of the endometriosis and adenomyosis pain that I have been suffering from for the past several months. My doctor said that he refused to give me a hysterectomy because I am so young (25). I am in graduate school, but because of the incredibly flu-like symptoms that I am going through, that my doctor assures me are only side effects from the shot, I am unable to attend my all day class today and will likely fall behind in class. I had done all of my research before going on the shot and my doctor told me that they were not all true and that this could save my life and give me a much better quality of life. If this continues, there is no way I'll be able to get my degree or even work a full time job. The dizziness and nausea are so bad I can hardly function. I'm only hardly a week in and the side effects are ruining my quality of life, now I am terrified after reading all of the accounts on this petition.REPORT COMMENTS

My daughter suffers because of this shot. She can't work and her symptoms are worse than when she was on the shot. It has caused so many problems and she has trouble just functioning. I was absolutely shocked when she found through research that so many people who took this drug suffer similar or the exact same symptoms as she does. These people need help and they need people to listen and be aware of ALL the side effects of this drug, it is too dangerous to be out on the market. Please listen to us.REPORT COMMENTS

I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in '08. I have been on intermittent hormone therpay (lupron) since. The biggest side effect for me is memory loss. It is taking a huge toll of my ability to do my job. Simple words constantly escape me. Before lupron, I had excellent recall. I am in constant fear of losing my job because of this.REPORT COMMENTS

I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 18. I had surgery and i was then bleeding after my surgery (after four months of continuous bleeding and cramping). So my doctor basically said if i ever wanted to have children, lupron was my only option. When i started it i continued to bleed. For the first 3 months i only had back cramping, hot flashes, and mood swings. After my second shot though, things started going downhill. I had infection after infection (26 in almost 2 years, that is over one infection a month). It was like my immune system was wiped out overnight, now almost 2 years later its still the same. Except i still have many more symptoms, and even new ones. Besides the infections, i have vitamin d deficiency, depression, memory loss, hot flashes, fibromyalgia, constant joint pain and swelling, enlarged thyroid, undiagnosed rib/abdominal pain, severe gastrointestinal symptoms (IBS), photo sensitivity, random fevers, extreme weight gain of 60 pounds in a year, and mild renauds phenomenon. Nothing shows up in my bloodwork, so most doctors don't believe me or blame it on my weight (which was significantly less before the shot). I can only go to school part time because i am so exhausted and in so much pain all the time, not to mention ive already had to have another surgery for the endometriosis, it didn't improve at all. My doctors can't figure out what to diagnose me with based on the bloodwork coming back not showing anything. I cannot work due to my constant pain, and i can't get disability because i can't get a diagnosis. This shot is ruining my life. and i'm only 20 years old. I don't want to feel like this anymore. Please help us. We are suffering and we are scared, and we need your help.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm 28 and I feel like I'm 80. The joint pain is like I've never felt before. The migraine that I have gotten from this is like no other and C-II meds barely touch it. Tremors, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, memory loss, hot flashes, nightsweats, vision problems. This is not something anyone should be on. This should be pulled from the market until they have accurate data and ALL side effects are listed. Their pamplets lie and they know it yet do nothing.REPORT COMMENTS

This shot has ruined my father's life. He went from being a very active 77 year old to almost totally disabled. He does not eat. He sleeps all of the time with horrible aches and pain he never had before the shot. He has had multiple tests that come back false positive due to this lupron shot. One week his labs will say one thing.....then the next week they say his levels are normal. RUN! Do not walk away from this shot!! It's POISON!!!REPORT COMMENTS
