I am 24 and feel like a part of me is gone thanks to the 6 months of Lupron I took over a year ago. This needs to be pulled off the market ASAP! -

Years later - suffering in innumerable ways; countless "unexplained" medical issues continue to arise. My life as I once knew it many years ago is gone. As I indicated to the medical profession years ago; this drug needs to be pulled off the market!REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron didn't improve my condition. Pain got better only for 3 months-after taking Lupron for 6 months, so my endo is still not cured. Side effects continue till now-it's been 7 months since last shot. I still get anxiety, exhaustion, moodiness, nausea. During Lupron it was even worst, to the point I couldn't function normally!REPORT COMMENTS

I recieved the lupron injections for endomitriosis. This was in 1998 now 12 years later the same memory loss I had when taking the lupron has not went away,neither the exuhaustion or anxiety ,depression,or bone pain. I have never been the same. I always knew it was the lupron, because since then I have struggled. Now it seems my thyroid is having problems. So there you have it, the side effects of lupron destroy! I know I have lived it !REPORT COMMENTS

I was on this drug from 2007 to the end of 2010 for endometriosis. Knowledge is a powerful tool. I just wish I had more before I started Lupron (Lucrin in Europe). After 18 months off the medication, I am better that I was when I was on it, but my life is not what it once was. Having suffered psychosis during my Lupron treatment, it has been a long battle to recover. Recently, I have learned a bit more about the relationship of hypoglycemia and adrenal fatigue to the use of Lupron. There is a strong relationship with the lingering anxiety disorder that I have. This is an interesting chain of effects that can create a tangible, persistent battle with the physical symptoms of anxiety.... nevermind the battle with the initial illness or primary trauma (of a bowel perforation and sepsis following a surgical procedure for the endo). The physical anxiety is something that I am dealing with on a daily basis, but knowing what it is is really good. Knowing the butterflies in my tummy are not solely a reaction today's stresses, but have a physiological source related to an general imbalance in my endocrine system is so helpful. Knowing my fatigue isn't really depression, but a general exhaustion with a physical cause is helpful too. Knowing it was caused by this medication... well, I don't have the words. Looking at this petition and seeing sooooo many cases similar to mine, where patients develop mental health challenges, compounded by induced pituitary and adrenal issues and have compromised health for years, even decades after stopping it. Some, like me, have developed hypoglycemia, I suppose there has to be an underlying tendency for that though. Some, also like me, have daily issues with heart rate (fast) and blood pressure (low). So many have lost careers, compromised relationships and a general feeling of loss of self. I have experienced all of this. This poison must be taken off the market before any other person... man, woman or child... suffers from irreversible permanent damage to their bodies and lives. Lupron steals your todays and tomorrows. Something has to be done.REPORT COMMENTS

My wife was given this med. for 6 months in preparation for surgery. Nothing out of the ordinary was told to us prior to her course of treatment. Now she has joint problems that hurt and aggravate her daily activities.REPORT COMMENTS

this drug is much more dangerous and risky than current information makes clear. It should not be a 'normal step' in endometriosis treatment.REPORT COMMENTS

I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis in Sept of 2007 I had the surgery in october and immediately was put on lupron after the surgery. I was 18 at the time and had no idea what was going on other than knowing I was in severe pain and had been for years. I am now 22 and just got my second round of lupron. I do not remember it being this terrible!! I have no immune system left, I first got shingles and now am battling a viral infection all in on one month! I have extreme fatigue and am constantly naseaus and dizzy. Not to mention the depression. I went from being normal working 2 jobs and attending school full time to barely being able to function and being sick ALL the time. There are many more side effects but I am to tired to even mention them.REPORT COMMENTS

I was given lupron for two years double doses back in 1994 when I was only 16. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was 24 and suffer from constant back pain and hip pain. I took chemo to get out of a wheelchair. I am having surgery next week to have 8 lumps removed from lymph nodes that could possibly be from the chemo and caused hogkins lymphoma. My question now? Could all of of this have been avoided if I had never taken Lupron?REPORT COMMENTS

My seventeen year old daughter started taking this drug 20 mos. ago. I took her off when her bone density showed osteoporosis. She also has low vitamin D. She was put on the drug for severe PMS,depression,anxiety,mood swings etc. She was a little better on Lupron along with the estrogen patch. Since she has been off the drug for 2 mos. her PMS is the worst I have ever seen. No period yet.I am afraid she is going to hurt herself or someone else. I have been to many doctors and no one is able to help her.REPORT COMMENTS

My 9 year old daughter is given Lupron to treat early puberty. She does have a lot of pain on her legs. I am praying for not having any damaging side effects. We definitely want to see an investigation before it's too late.REPORT COMMENTS

I took Lupron in 1999, since I have had unexplained joint pain, severe vitamin D deficiency, hormonal issues. On top of this Lupron didn't even work for the Endometriosis, I ended up having three more surgeries since I was on it.REPORT COMMENTS
