| 3 | Endometriosis | bad headaches, HOT FLASHES, night sweats that wake me up all night, constantly feeling drained, no sex drive, mood swings sometimes, bigger breast size, plus side is very clear skin! | I can handle most of the side effects except the headaches and hot flashes/night sweats! I'm afraid to stop getting my shots because it has helped me a lot with my endo. | F | 18 | 6 months 1X O | 7/31/2011 | 3 | Endometriosis | I have not started taking Lupron, but I get my first shot this Thursday. My Dr. told me of the side effects: mild weight gain, moodiness, hot flashes, nausea and vomitting, nightsweats, etc. But, I was unaware of the other effects like hair loss, depression, anger issues, loss of desire and interest, and ETREME weight gain of 20 pounds, like some have experienced. I am only 18 and just got diagnosed with endo last month, but it has been ongoing for two years because I had ovarian cysts before. I also had a ruptured cyst that produced extra fluid in my uterus. Overall, I've had a lot of issues with ongoing medical conditions. Now that I have learned more of the symptoms of Lupron, I'm scared to take it! I'll be sure to post after I get the shots. | F | 18 | 6 months 2X AN | 10/12/2010 | 2 | Endometriosis | EXREME, EXTREME Nausea-been to ER 3 times for it (Zoloft did not help me nor did Reglan) Vomiting; Insomnia; restlesness is excessive in legs and throughout; backache | If anyone around the same age is going through what I am, please e-mail me. Support is needed and will be provided to you,too!!! It has been 11-12 days since my laproscopy and lupron shot! I am only 18 years old!ONLY 18. Had to take a year off of University. My life has been turned upside down, man. I hope I find relief soon, but this is kiling me, man. This shot is just so bad. its symptoms I mean. I have had my first period which were PAINFUL as heck! | F | 18 | 12 days | 4/22/2009 | 5 | Endometriosis | hot flashes, dizziness, weight gain, mood swings, anxiety | I just took the final injection to treat my endometriosis. The injections often made me extremely hot and moody. The pain, however, is gone. I am very happy with the outcome of the treatment, but I HATE the side effects that come with this drug. | F | 17 | 3 months 1X M | 6/6/2010 | 4 | Endometriosis | At first I had a stuffy nose, headaches, sleeplessness, mood swings, (sore throat?), and extreme thirstiness. Only on my first month.. | I only started it a week ago but so far I am only experiencing cold symptoms. My doctor said it might make the pain flare up worse until the third month but it was a last resort. So far I would say go for it. | F | 17 | 7 days | 1/19/2010 | 3 | Gender Identity Disorder | Increase in libido, spontaneous erections, stronger erections, increase in hunger, HOT FLASHES | My psychiatrist recommended lupron to stop my puberty progressing while i decide whether to take female hormones, but so far ive actually had an increase in testosterone levels. Theyre supposed to go up for about 2 weeks after the 1st injection but its already been three weeks, and im not sure whats happening with them. | M | 17 | 1 months 3.75 mg 1X M | 1/7/2011 | 3 | Endomitriosis. | hot flashes, massive mood swings, backaches, pain at the injection site. other side effects have occured. | Okay so everyone on here is about the age of 20-40, and they have a problem with the injection, try being a junior in high school, at 17, and being slammed into menopause, as a last resort to TRY to make it possible for me to have kids. Which I may not be able to. I've had 3 shots so far, and yes the pain has gone down, but im not a very easy person to be around with the massive mood swings, and try getting through a day, in a class room where you have hot flashes, and can't wear a tank top to school. :/ im pretty miserable all the time, but this is what we have to do. in April of 2008 i had surgery and the doctor removed a cyst that was aprox 2 times the size of my uterus. She also burned away some endomitriosis, but she couldn't get all of it. By November the cyst was back(it is small but back again.) and i've had ultrasounds to track its size, it hasn't gotten much bigger, but im still aggervated that i have to go through all of this. :/ | F | 17 | 3 months | 2/4/2009 | 2 | Endo | Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, Depression, Sensitivity to Sounds, hair loss, Muscle pain, and acne | I had pain in my lower pelvic area for two years(age 15-17) before FINALLY having a lap surgery--suppose to be out for only a few days, I did not leave the house for a week and a half. It was the worst pain I had ever gone through. I went back on birthcontrol for two more months then decided to try Lupron, to increase my chance of having Children later in life. The lupron made me awfully sick--The first time I was out a few days, but the second shot I was out a week. Luckily it got better the 3rd shot--only out a day. In a few days is my 4th shot--and I can't decide if i truly want to take it. I feel that my whole life has changed in the last few months--before I was the happiest high schooler ever(homecoming queen, class officer, appreciative girlfriend, all american girl)--now i feel like i never smile and that I dislike more and more people everday. I know that the lupron is probably helping me, but I'm not sure if I can do this much longer. The pain is much worse while I'm on the m | F | 17 | 3.5 months | 1/13/2008 | 2 | Endometriosis | Hot flashes, depression, joint pain, exhaustion, loss of appetite, irritability, night sweats, mood swings, headaches, severe mood swings | I'm about to go through my SECOND trial of this. I can't say I wouldn't recommend it at all, but I was absolutely dissatisfied with it. I was 16 when I started taking it. It made me miserable, but it eased my severe pain I had been having since I was 13. It worked for 10 months, and now I'm in the same hole, and the pain is even worse. If you ask me, all the side effects aren't even worth it. I absolutely don't want to go through this again, but it's this or surgery. It made me absolutely miserable, though, and just leaving the house was like a chore. I had to leave school and do a distance learning program. Not really worth it, if you ask me. | F | 17 | 6 months | 1/9/2008 | 1 | Endrometriosis | I suffered Lupron-Induced psycosis. I lost 30 pounds in a month and had severe insomonia.. I went 6 full days without shutting my eyes. I also expierenced hot flashes and manic episodes of depression, and I have no history of depression. Lupron ruined my life. It is a MIRICAL that I recovered, because there was almost no chance. I had the shot in Feb. and I will probably suffer some long term symptoms such as memory loss, and severe trauma from the expierence. It was a tradgety in my life, as well as my family's, and I was only given a one month shot. The day before I was due for another one, I completely lost my mind. It took 3 LONG months for the drug to leave my system. | I am only 17 years old, and my life was turned upside down. My doctor reassured me that there was mild side effects if any at all, and I was 1 in 3% who have suffered the psycosis. It was the scariest thing in the world. I thought my family was trying to kill me, didn't sleep or eat, and hallusinated. I saw demons, and people would walk out of the t.v. and tell me I was dying. If this shot is recommended, please read this and reconsider the decision. It was the worst thing that could possibly happen to me, and I am lucky to even be alive. Even though the psycosis is rare, the side effects are enough to leave you damaged, and scared. My doctor would'nt even send us my medical records. My heart rate was 130 at resting, and I was rushed from hospital to hospital, leaving doctors stunned. I was in a mental health hospital for a week, and I still lay there at night STUNNED and remember some of the expierence. I thought I was possessed. Please don't EVER take this drug, its evil. It took car | F | 17 | 30 days | 5/27/2007 | 1 | Endometriosis | I am writing this for my 17 year old cousin Breanna. She is experiencing at the moment: extreme insomnia, severe memory loss, hallucinations, migraines, weight loss, high blood pressure, extremely high pulse rate, many more; has been diagnosed with lupron induced psychosis | This drug needs to be taken off the market NOW. If you are reading this and are thinking about getting this drug, listen to me now. My little 17 year old cousin is in the hospital at this moment and my family does not know if she will ever recover. She does not remember something she said 30 seconds before. She is having hallucinations of voices telling her she is dying. She can not communicate with us, like telling us where her pain is. There are so many side effects of this drug...not to mention, the doctor who gave her the injection will not contact us back and has not sent us her records. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! If anyone else has had these side effects or no someone who has, please contact me and give me advice on how she needs to be treated. Her doctors are stumped. | F | 17 | 25 days | 3/6/2007 | 1 | endomitriosis | I was givin lupron to help early endo. It destroyed my life. I had horrible hot flashes, extreem bone pain, muscle spasums and achs, terrible mood swings and messed up my thinking. Had short term memory loss. I still continued to have pain threw the shot, it was not good for me and i only ahd the shot once. I was on my peroid for three weeks straight then didnt have it for three months | F | 17 | 1 times 1X O | 2/3/2010 | 2 | Endometriosis | Hot flashes,mood swings,Night sweats,back/stomache pain,loss of energy,migraines | I took my first shot on 7/18/07. The day after my 16th birthday. I am using the add back therapy. If anything, I feel worse. I cant tell if the pain from the endo is gone or not because of the side effects of the shot. | 16 | 12 days | 7/30/2007 | 1 | von willebrand's disease | weight loss, severe fatigue, seizures, thyroid problems. | This drug should be pulled from the market. Tap pharmaceuticals is the ostrich burying their heads in the sand and ignoring the after effects of this poison. I am hoping someone somewhere is able to get a class action suit going against this company. | F | 16 | 1 years | 8/27/2006 | 4 | reduce estrogen for more growth | HOT FLASHES!!! | im very pleased with this medicine. without lupron my adult height would have been 4'5 but thanks to lupron i am now 4'11.75 which is taller than i could have ever hoped for. the hot flashes were a pain but it was worth it. | F | 15 | 2.5 years | 6/17/2009 | 3 | endo | migranes, back pain, shortness of breath, weight gain, mood swings,breast changes,joint pain | F | 15 | 8 months | 3/9/2009 | 3 | severe endometriosis | hot flashes, yeast infections, some mood swings, skin sores | F | 15 | 4 months | 9/14/2006 | 1 | Daughter for PrecociousPuberty | My Daughter has severe bonepain, numbness,headaches, memoryloss, rapid weight gain,PCOS, MANY OTHERS | IT IS A HORRIFIC DRUG!! NO ONE TOLD ME THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO MY CHILD!! IT IS A NIGHTMARE WORRYING ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN EACH AND EVERYDAY FOR NEW ISSUES!! | F | 13 | 48 times 1X M | 12/7/2012 | 5 | Precocious Puberty | Has nearly stopped precocious puberty side effects. | My 10-year-old daughter has had Lupron injections for 23 months now. (She was cocaine exposed in-utero, which we believe is the primary cause of the precocious puberty.) Her dosage has increased 3 times over the 2 years. Her developing breasts disappeared, her extreme mood swings are dramatically reduced, PMS symptoms gone, migraines gone, she's gained 5 inches in height, and her bone age is now nearly her real age (not 50% older). On the other end of the spectrum, I'm just finishing menopause (no Lupron) a little younger than the average woman, and am experiencing much of the symptoms many women who hate the Lupron are experiencing. Huge hormone changes can be a nightmare, whether drug or nature induced. | F | 10 | 2 years | 6/29/2009 | 4 | shrink fibroids before hysterectomy | minor headaches, weight gain, mild depression, fatigue, hair loss, hot flashes | lupron successfully reduced the size of my fibroids allowing my hysterectomy to be VLAH instead of abdominal. this has been fantastic - today is 6 days post surgery and i can walk 2-3 km comfortably, have 3 insignificant incisions, very little pain and could reasonably return to a desk job within another 7-14 days. being informed of the side effects is important to be able to manage through them. my doses were 1 shot/month for 3 months. last shot 2wks ago - hair loss just started - i lost hair post partem also likely related to hormonal swing so it makes sense. | 3 months | 9/20/2009 |
