    It's been 1.5 years since i came off of Lupron...and I'm still experiencing night sweats, hot flashes, osteoarthritis and an autoimmune disorder. No one has taken the side effects of Lupron into consideration during my treatment for some of these conditions. My doctors never made me aware of all of these side effects. Please help MAKE people aware of the danger of this drug!

    I took Lupron approximately 10 years ago and have had severe memory loss. This memory loss is ongoing. There has been no relief. If I had known there would be permanent side effects like this I would have refused this treatment and with consultation from my doctor chosen some other form of treatment.

    I had the Depo Lupron shots about a year ago and I am in pain every day. First they say I have lupus next it is fibromyalgia. I can not sit for over 10 min. when I get up to walk I hurt all over. My quality of life has gone down hill. I am still looking for a doctor that can help me. If I could go back a year I would have surgery and not the shots.

    this has taken my life away at age 32 after only one shot of lupron and it was given to me as a last resort just to try and see if it helped with my pelvic pain which was later revealed as interstitial cystitis but it was too late i already had the shot and it has taken my life away

    I had two surgeries within two years for endometriosis at the age of 24 and had lupron shots both times after surgery. First set of shots weren't so bad but after the 2nd surgery the next set of shots were horrible! Depression was my biggest enemy and I had to be put on two depression medications...worst feeling ever!

    As the mother of wonderful mother of 3 in her mid 30's I am broken hearted to see the struggle she has to go through every day dealing with osteoporosis in her back and knees. She was given Leuprolide in her early 20's for sever endometriosis. We had no idea that she would have to live the rest of her life in pain.

    Oh man! I am experiencing the many of the same symptoms listed here. I was injected with lupron for six mos to shrink my prostate to faciliate treatment for ca of prostate. I became concerned after my symptoms failed to abate, as stated by my health providers, in several mos. I knew I had a problem after I asked several Drs how long does lupron stay in my body, after experiencing spmptoms two + yrs later, and no one could tell me. I am scared and feel I have been lied to. Sombody in authority needs to do something. Listen to our pleas. These symptoms were nonexistent before my injections.

    My doctor gave me a lupron injection almost a year ago for my fibroids because I refused to have a hysterectomy. Before giving me the med, she only explained the side effects as simple menopausal symptoms which would end after 6 months when the therapy was complete. Well, to my dismay, I began to exhibit severe bone pain in my back, arms and legs, that worsened to the point that my boyfriend would have to help me out of bed in the morning, out of the car. I had maintained a 2 year weight loss prior to receiving the injection but ended up gaining every pound back, even though I had not changed my eating habits. I became so depressed, I would lie in bed all day when I wasnt at work. I distanced myself from family and friends, became suicidal, even violent at times with my boyfriend.

    Fortunately I have never taken Lupron, because a friend had the foresight to warn me about it. I feel she saved my life!

    Omg, I thought I was alone! I thought while taking the shot I was going out of my mind, depression, anxiety,mood changes, short term memory loss, uncontrollable hot flashes, body aches and pains!! I am being checked now 10 yrs later for fibermyalgia , body aches, and much more side effects are still evident . Doctors alway would push me to another Doctor. I have been all these years trying to find out why I never felt any better ?? We as women need help ! This shot has truely made me a different person and my family can vouch for that.. I think they need a class action suite ..
