To start suffering in your teens and twenties as my sister and I have is not right. Our suffering could last 80 years. Would you want to live that much of your life in pain that could have been avoided? Long term side effects must be known -

I have endometriosis. I completed my six month lupron treatment over nine months ago and I still regularly experience memory loss, head aches, mood swings, hot flashes, depression, fatigue, anxiety, nausea and abdominal pain. I worked out every day and ate healthy, but still gained more than 20 pounds while on lupron, and I have been unable to lose any of it. I had about a month of less painful intercourse, but the pain never went fully away, and gradually increased to the same level it was before the lupron injections. My menstrual cramps lessened slightly in severity, but are getting increasingly more painful with every period. I have been going through a personal hell for over a year, with no end or relief in sight. My marriage, job, personal relationships, and my life in general have all been negatively impacted. I feel so helpless, like I'll never get better, never be myself again. I've had suicidal thoughts creep in during my darkest times, but there is still enough of "me" left in there that I won't act on them, no matter how helpless I feel about what's become of my life. This drug has ruined my life, and I tell everyone I know who has reproductive issues to avoid this drug at all costs, no matter what their doctor suggests. Taking lupron is the biggest regret of my life. I can't believe a drug that can do this much damage is not only legal, but pushed by doctors. This has to stop before more lives are ruined.REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron was the worst FDA approved drug that I have ever had. It has caused more damage than I could have ever imagined. Please don't let this go to anyone, it's horrible. I have hope that the side effects will wear off after only 2 injections, please take it off the market. PLEASEREPORT COMMENTS

I have been taking lupron for 4 years for prostrate cancer with no side effects. It has prevented me from undergoing surgery that was bad side effects such as urination problems and general discomfort. I take calcium and vitamin C to prevent bone issues,REPORT COMMENTS

I've been taking Depot Lupron for 12 months now all together in the past 1 1/2 years, with my symptoms becoming worse. This is even after the laproscopy surgery that I had for my endometriosis in November 2010. Now, I am looking at another surgery and possible hysterectomy at the age of 21. I have chronic pain, sleep apnea, anxiety, unstable moods, memory loss and severe weight loss. Since being on the Lupron shot I have lost 30 pounds without changing my diet or exercise. PLEASE help all of us that are suffering!REPORT COMMENTS

I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed after laporoscopic surgery 2 years ago. Since then I've been dealing with severe endometriosis. Since December 28, 2010 I've been bleeding and as the last resort my doctor has encouraged me to take Lupron. I'm supposed to get my injection Friday but due to this website and others that have told me all the side effects I've decided against it. I'd rather bleed another 365 days and be in pain rather than go through what all of you have gone though. Thank you so much for speaking out against the drug, you have helped me make a very important decision as well as many others. I'm so sorry for what this drug has done to you, but speaking out is making an impact on others. I assure you!!!REPORT COMMENTS

This is not just happening to women. I developed fibromyalgia withen a short time after taking the injections for i year for prostate cancer. Also terrible calf pain in my lower legs which occured after the injections. Also am having back problems due to degenerative disc disease among other problems that started justafter the lupron injections. The doctors wanted me to take the medication for 2 years but istopped after 1 year because of the devastating side effects.REPORT COMMENTS
