I had endometriosis, family history of ovarian cancer, personal history of multiple cysts and took Lupron when I was about 30. I had approximately 3 injections and consequently had a 5cm ovarian cyst that grew and ruptured. Along with the short-term side effects of Lupron were overall body aches/pain, rash/bumps and sickness. Unfortunately as I discovered later that was not reported to me was the chance of bone loss of over 20% which is exactly what I ended up with within a few years. The only other health problems that I have been diagnosed with over the years are Type 2 Diabetes and Osteoporosis/Osteopenia with bone loss of approximately 30%. I have been doing weight bearing exercises and taking estrace which has improved my bone loss. Overall I would not recommend Lupron for anyone with the side effects that I have described. I had a lot more effects initially that lasted for a long time then I have reported.

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!! Remember, once you're injected, there's no taking it back. I had to seek alternative medicine to counteract the debilitating side effects of Depot Lupron. My periods/endo/monthly pain are as bad as they ever were. I received NO relief from this POISON drug. After complaining a couple of times to my "personal case nurse", who was supposed to check in every few days, she stopped calling me! I've been unable to lose the "menopause weight/shift of weight around the middle", and I'll just have to go through natural menopause again!

Second shot humm not so bad until....... ok let me back up a little bit. As anyone know with endo one of the signs, one may have is diarrhea well I did. Had my surgery to clean up endo then I was to start Lupron with the 5th day of may cycle. So I had to go thru all that. Well the diarrhea never stopped and instead of hot flashes I got cold flashes. Time for second shot...... Into second week "Oh My" Major flu like aches and pains the diarrhea increased lost about 7 lbs. Went to the ER for help because I didn't put two and two together. No one told me about all this nor is it on the information page. Thank God for this page because I thought I was going crazy. I also have dryness and pain with intercourse. Please let this be tempory or someone will pay for that part of my life being over with. Needless to say that was my last shot. Instead of the 11.7 Million dollars going to further the study for this Drug can we maybe fi | Read up on Lupron before doing it or conitune it.

TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET. | F | 45 | 6 months 3.75 1X M | 4/24/2011 | 1 | Fibroids, before hysteroscopic myo | Abdominal swelling or bloating. Not weight gain - I am only 92 pounds! - but rather seems to be PERMANENT water retention. The bloat occurred immediately after ONE Lupron shot during the estrogen flare phase, then diminished during the brief menopausal phase, then returned suddenly five weeks after I took the shot, as my estrogen levels returned to "normal". Seven months later I fear that my pituitary gland is permanently damaged. I am seeing an endocrinologist who is mystified by such localized bloat. My lower abdomen has an uncomfortable swelling about the size of a baseball and this has led to depression, anxiety, and high blood pressure. Also insomnia and kidney stones which I attribute to the calcium I took while on Lupron. This nightmare was totally unnecessary and I was the picture of health and fitness before I took this shot. If anyone has seen their abdominal bloating eventually subside, PLEASE PLEASE email me here and tell me how long it took and what, if a | DO NOT TRY THIS DRUG EVEN ONCE !!!!! YOU WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOURSELF. It is NOT a cure for fibroids or endo. If your doctor suggests this drug, run like hell and find a better doctor!!!

My body has never been the same and the beautiful skin that runs in my family has gone crazy on me. I realize that everybody reacts in a different way to the same drug, I can only speak from my own experience. My personality changed in such a dramatic way that people thought I was going crazy. And yes, my husband and I ended up divorced. It took 6 months for me to go to my normal self again. My Endometriosis has come back and I have had 2 doctors tell me I need to take Lupron again. As painful and bad the endo is, a second round with Lupron will drive to me to suicide. I will try to control the pain with alternative treatment. Please be careful with this drug, do your research and consider other options. In spite of this drug working wonders for other people, it wrecked my life.

LOL! | I have had endometriosis since before my first period at 11. I have had so much pain with my periods (bed ridden for 3 days), prior to my periods and with ovulating. At the time there was nothing to help. Years later tried Depo Lupron and have now been on it for probably 15+ years. With depo lupron I was finally pain free and it has been amazing for me. Tried to go off of it 1X and the cramps came back unbearably so I am on it again. Note: I have been taking it continuously for 15+ years. I have had a bone density test 1X and it was fine.
