Tachycardia constantly.unstable blood pressure. Insomnia.Severe mood swings. Quality of life gone. And I am a mom of 2 boys. | F | 34 | 3 months 11.25 | 2/28/2012 | 2 | stage 3 endo | Night sweats,trouble remembering things,low sex drive,hormonal | F | 21 | 3 months | 2/20/2012 | 3 | Endemetriosis in bowel. | Hot flushes, memory loss, weight gain, headaches, numbness in my fingers and toes, anxiety and difficulty concentrating. | I had a hysterectomy two years ago and have endo in my bowel. As an alternative to a resection I opted to take Lucrin/Lupron to see if removing my ovary would stop the pain. It seems to have settled the pain a bit but the sweats are really uncomfortable. | F | 44 | 3 months 3.75 1X M | 2/16/2012 | 1 | Endometriosis | Caused campomelic dysplasia of my first baby (it was fatal), I have severe degenerative disc disease, anti MAG neuropathy, malignant melanoma twice, kidney stones, migraines, heart arrhythmia, | This drug has ruined my life. I took this drug almost 9 years ago, I was a healthy normal individual before this. It killed my first baby, and then within a span of five years I've had 4 spinal surgeries, my spine is now almost 2/3 metal rods and screws. I've had malignant melanoma twice 12 months apart, I have an auto immune related neuropathy that leaves me in excruciating pain, I get kidney stones on a regular basis and have had to have multiple surgeries, I've developed a heart arrhythmia, frequent migraines, and Luoron never took the endo away for me, I had a hysterectomy at 31. I'm now 36 and on permanent disability. It's like winning the power ball of medical problems, and all of it started after Lupron, just because you feel good now, doesn't mean you're going to stay that way, run far far away from this poison, the truth is going to come out! | F | 36 | 6 months 1X M | 2/11/2012 | 1 | inoperable endometriosis | I had hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, dizziness, and ended up with SEVERE pappilledema that caused me to briefly go blind and I needed a VP Shunt inserted into my brain/body because the pappilledema came from the Pseudotumor Cerebri that the Lupron caused. After 3 injections I had to stop any further 'treatment' with lupron and fight to save my vision. I will now need a new VP shunt at LEAST every 10 years for the rest of my life and am now at risk for blood clots in my brain, brain infections, seizures, and blindness if the shunt fails before I have time to have it replaced. | I was told it was SAFE and that I should take it for an entire year. | F | 25 | 3 months 3.75 mgt 1X M | 2/11/2012 | 5 | Endometreosis | Hot flashes, painful sex, exhaustion, no period, bone loss. Side effects lasted for two years after stopping the medication. | This medication was a lot to deal with but helped a great deal. The hot flashes were not very hard to handle. The worst part was painful sex. I had painful sex before I started taking it anyway so it was worth it. After the two years of side effects wore off sex was enjoyable again and I was pain free. I noticed discoloration in my teeth though from the bone loss. A tooth whitener helped a little. It was an expensive drug. If I could go back and make the choice over again, I would still choose to take it. | F | 29 | 6 months Unknown 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 5 | Stage 4 Endo diagnosed after 25 yrs | None. It saved my life. I was in and out of the emergency room for the pain, inoperable. As long as I take out I can life a normal life. When I stop the pain returns with my first cycle. | F | 50 | 10 years 375 | 2/10/2012 | 4 | Endometriosis | Hot flushes, mood swings, loss of bone density, weight gain. With the HRT and calcium treatments side effects have been controlled. But worth it as greatly reduced the Endo pains. | F | 30 | 4 years Monthly | 2/10/2012 | 3 | Endometriosis | I've been off of it for 2 years and I still have hot flashes and no sex drive!!! But It has reduced the rate at which the endo was growing. But if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't. | F | 22 | 6 months 1 x month | 2/10/2012 | 1 | to shrink fibroid before surgery | As we all can see, this medication affects everyone differently. Just be prepared for the negative as well as the positive. The lupron cause me so much pain i had to be hospitalized for 4 days. the pain was worst than my labor pain. It came like clockwork every 2 hrs while i was in the hospital. It traumatized me so bad that i ended up not getting the last dose nor the surgery. Again my body reaction was most likely the exception | F | 40 | 60 days 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 1 | for endometriosis | 40 lbs of weight gain, shut down immune system, pars-planitis in both eyes,severe mood swings, hated everyone/thing, 'out-of-body" experiences; to the point I didnt know who I was, and I'm sure theres plenty more but this is off the top of my head! | I was only 17 while i was on lupron and i had to quit my sport in high school and be homebound the remainder of high school!! Throughout the whole 13 months I still had a cycle every single day and the endometriosis actually grew back while i was on it!!I call it the drug of satan! :/ | F | 19 | 13 months 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 1 | Endometrosis | Bloating, major exacerbation of endometrosis symptoms, suicidal thoughts, weight gain | I was worried about Lupron affecting my migraines; this didn't happen, but within 48 hours of the first (and only) shot, my endo symptoms went from bad to insane. I ended up in the ER and had to take morphine for 3 weeks until the pain subsided. I also gained 12lbs of water weight in 6 days and had suicidal thoughts (solely due to the Lupron) I know a few people had had success with Lupron, but I don't think it's worth the risk. | F | 32 | 1 months 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 1 | Severe endometriosis. | Hot flashes SEVERE mood swings night sweats memory loss weight gain | Lupron did not ease my endometriosis symptoms I ended up requiring a hysterectomy. If I could have done it all over again I would have NEVER taken this drug my side effects were too severe. | F | 31 | 9 months 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 1 | Endometriosis&Cronic bleeding cysts | Hair loss 20 lb weight gain acne vaginal discomfort/loss of sex drive extreme mood swings memory loss extreme pouring sweat hot flashes chills tremors hives angio edema immune system dysfunction immune system disorder developing into possible lupus. depression to the point of feeling like a zombie, very much felt I was not the same person. Periods never stopped Constant bleeding Anemia never went away Cysts continued (proof of cysts by ultra sounds, and CT scans) Swelling in the face, as if I had been on steroids, looked like a squirrel with food stuffed in its cheeks. Ulcers in stomach and mouth Horrible Joint Pain & swelling Major flare in IBS No change in pain, if anything it worsened. Add back therapy of Danazol, made an increase in all the side effects. | Long history of failed treatments for endometriosis, chronic large bleeding cysts. Regularly passing out with pain, after 10+ attempts of different birth control pills Lupron was the next option. I was 18, was only explained that it would cause hot flashes - my failure was trusting the doctor blindly and not researching the drug. I was 18 years old. Began injections, being use to pain, the shot was not a problem, right in the hip area like most injections I've never had a problem with but this... I'd vomit, and be over come with radiating heat every time. The nurse would have alcohol prep pads ready for me to smell every time to help control the vomiting. After a year+ of only worsening symptoms, and damaged relationships due to the side effects, I gave up and said stop. I am left with Joint pain & swelling So far no boney changes (so thankful for taking calcium), chronic urticaria (fancy way of saying chronic Hives), thinned hair on my head, increased eyebrow, leg, arm and under arm hair, and a auto immune disorder, yet to be diagnosised. Doctors can only tell that my immune system changed, from weak to over active, to the point of needing an epi-pen for random bouts of Anaphylaxis. It has been 4 years since I stopped lupron. 3 surgeries later and a drug called Lybrel 28, my endometriosis is slowing considerably, and cyst have become rarely present. I do not know where to turn for the immune system problems, there is no family history, or environmental cause but the Lupr | F | 24 | 1 years 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 1 | endometriosis | Short term memory probs, menopause symptoms, hip & bone pain, depression, cognitive impairment, thinning of hair, tachycardia (fast heart rate) with premature beats in upper & lower ventricles, already had degenerative disk disease but much worse now. It never helped my endo. Hysterectomy in 2003 did not cure it, now I have pain from scar tissue & nerve damage. | F | 42 | 6 months 3.75 mg | 2/10/2012 | 1 | endometriosis | Fibromyalgia HELL! | F | 29 | 6 months 1x | 2/10/2012 | 1 | PCOS | Almost four years after only having one injection I am still suffering. Diagnosed with cervical focal and general Dystonia. Dysphonia. Intense bone pain migraines PCOS is worse. Bruise easily. Severe weight gain (63lbs in 11wks) pituitary issues thyroid and adrenal gland issues. Kidney and liver problems. Blurred vision. Extremely weakened immune system. Difficulty sleeping. Hard time processing whole grain carbs. Inability to lose weight. I can lose 30 lbs and in one weekend put back on 20 regardless of eating clean and working extensively with a trainer. Aside from the weight I'm healthy. Blood sugar is normal cholesterol normal blood pressure on low end of normal. I do have blood pressure spikes where it can go from 112/66 to 170/100 in a blink and then drop just as easily as it spiked. The docs still can't figure that out. | F | 33 | 1 days 3.75 | 2/10/2012 | 1 | Endometriosis | extreme weight gain, migraines, bone/joint/muscle pain, memory loss, extreme moodiness, insomnia | I would never go on this drug again. Its dangerous and now not only do I have pelvic pain from endo but I also have many other health issues since the lupron. Ive spent a ridiculous amount of money on doctors and majority of them dont even believe whats going on and dont know what to do. | F | 23 | 6 months 1X M | 2/10/2012 | 1 | endometreosis | I still had alot of pain, severe hot flashes, moodswings, weightgain, and joint paint. I am now 25 and still have all these symptoms and still no period 4 years later. I am tired, sore, cranky moody not, like myself. My doctor still can't explain why my cycle never returned.
