| 1 | IVF procedure | Lupron has caused thyrotoxicosis - inflammation of my thyroid and everything that is controlled by pituitary, thyroid and adrenal gland and hypothalamus is out of order. Lupron has caused at least 12 nodules growing in my thyroid, thyroid antibodies, horrible hot flashes day and night accompanied by heart palpitations, breathing problems, sweating. Other side effects are horrible migraines almost every night for the first three years after lupron, high blood pressure, hair falling, brittle nails, gas in stomach, diarrhea, fever, burning and tingling pain in my head and body, dry mouth, dry eyes, vaginal dryness, my body is not able to make vitamin D any more after lupron, I have to take 5000 IU every day and vit, D is still low, muscle and joint pain (fibromyalgia), arthritis, gout, blurred vision, breathing problems, tinnitus... By ruining my thyroid and whole endocrine system, Lupron has stopped my periods forever. | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! Every single day after Lupron is slow and painful dying. I do not understand why ABBOT and FDA are killing people with this drug. I do not believe it helped to anybody for anything except to die sooner. | F | 52 | 10 days 0.5 2X day | 1/3/2013 | 1 | endo | Insomnia increased severity of migraines, depression and fatigue. MASSIVE body aches, clear into my teeth. | F | 32 | 3 months | 1/3/2013 | 5 | endonetriosis | Miracle drug! I have had 3 surgeries for endometriosis and PCOS since I was 17so years old. I've been to numerous GYNs and specialists. My doctors were at their wits ends and this was the last resort before a hysterectomy. So I tried it. I have been in constant pain for years, and the first 3time weeks on lupron my pain was ever present and sometimes worse than before. But now, after my second shot I have been pain free for over 2 weeks. The only side effects I've had are hot flashes and night sweats, but compared to the pain, they're a walk in the park! | F | 25 | 2 months 3.75 mg | 12/20/2012 | 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 | 1 | 1X day | 10/16/2012 | 1 | Endometriosis | Depression Hot flashes Back Pain Mood Swings Anxiety Hair Loss Night Sweats Fatigue Memory loss | This was my second time on Lupron. It was a drastically different situation the second time around. I felt like I lost myself. Terrible depression and constant anxiety. I ended up on 6 medications in attempts to curb the side effects. I lost my job of 8 years and currently have no insurance. Because of this, I have not been able to see my doctor regarding the terrible back pain I have after being off of Lupron for 3 months. There are several petitions online to get this drug banned and/or properly researched. It has changed my life. Please do not take it! | F | 27 | 6 months 1X M | 10/9/2012 | 5 | Endometriosis, fibroids, ovary cyst | Surge in stronger migraines, hot flashes, achy, gums bleeding... | I have had severely painful endometriosis since my teens, had one child at 37 yo, years after the laparoscopy to diagnose my endometriosis and ovarian cysts. I am 42, I had hot flashes anyway, severe abdominal swelling, all over body aches, and really clotted, brutally painful menses. In my second month of Lupron, I had initial stronger migraines, and hot flashes, but about 2 weeks later, all the side effects eased off, and I am pain free. I did not have a menses from the first shot on, my breasts are shrunk and pain free from the swollen painfulness they were before, my abdomen is no longer painfully swollen, I havent gained or lost weight, but the loss of pain is wonderful. I know it is different for everyone, but my prior pain was far worse then any of the side effects were. I would recommend if you want more children, or lessen the suffering of a hysterectomy, which is why my Dr recommended it. I tried pregesterone, which made me psychotic angry, I had crazy anger on my estrogen heavy natural self, and it has calmed down alot....I am impressed. | F | 42 | 2 months 50 MG 1X M | 10/3/2012 | 1 | Prostate Cancer | Memory loss, joint pain, loss of all interest in sex with not much change after treatment ended. Hot flashes, weight gain, muscle wasting, osreoperosis, muscle weakness | M | 64 | 14 months 30 1X day | 10/2/2012 Patient History | 4 | 26 yrs Endometriosis/Pelvic Pain | Weight Gain , Acne, Night Sweats , Major Hot Flashes had to dbl the dose of meds for hot flashes . | This is my 3rd go around on Lupron . I am 42 yrs old w/ no children. I have been on every type of hormone therapy you can think of .I have had at least 5or more surgeries because of this illness . One was so extreme I had the nerves removed from my uterus but I still have pain . At this point this disease has robbed me of quality of life . I am so afraid of the long term effects of this medicine that I don't know what to do. I am actually scheduled for have surgery sometime in Nov to find out why in the recent months am I starting to have major cramping all over again. I have been really thinking/praying for answer weather or not I should have my Dr. do a hysterectomy. I am so over this ..Mentally and Physically . This medicine was a temporary fix as usual. :-( | F | 42 | 6 months 30MG 1X M | 9/25/2012 | 4 | stage 5 endometriosis | migraine/leg pain/hot flashes/vaginal dryness | i have been using lupron for 6 weeks now. i was SO scared to take this drug before but i thought i'd give it a try since i don't want to have a total hysterectomy yet at 34. it's not actually that bad. i would say that having no period is great!!! i have migraines and leg pains but they're very manageable. for vaginal dryness, we can get remedies for that. for lack of sexual desire, i think it's all up to your partner to work things out. my skin is clearer and i don't have issues with being forgetful. i regularly exercise (5x/week for 30-60 minutes) and i didn't gain weight at all. i think it's only mind over matter. positive thinking is the key. just don't think about lupron being in your system. if it will give me 2-5 more years to not have a total hysterectomy, i will take it! just went for my OB visit and so far, no cysts related to endo yet. | F | 34 | 6 weeks 3.75mg 1X M | 9/14/2012 | 3 | endometriosis | headaches, hot flashes, MOOD swings, memory loss, NO sexual desire. | Had my first shot in June, no real side effeccts until middle of July. The worst are the mood swings, my poor kids don't know how I will be from one minute to the next! Nothing takes the headaches away, and I constantly forget stuff.The pain has decreased by about 90% still painful to have intercourse (if it ever happens) Go back Sept 14 to talk about another shot or hysterectomy. | F | 36 | 6 months 11.25 1X O | 9/6/2012 | 1 | Ruptured ovarian cyst & endometrios | Extreme back pain and menstral like cramps, insomnia, nausea. Don't have any children yet so I don't want a hysterectoy. Dr told me I would have one bad period and then the pain would go away. This hurts more than my prior symptoms. I can't live like this! | F | 34 | 2 days | 9/2/2012 | 3 | fibroid/pcos | First month suffered 12 days straight of migraines. After that no migraines until 4 months on this dose, then they returned to once a month. Painful wrists and carpal tunnel like symptoms. | Has brought tremendous relief in abdominal pain, painful periods and has reduced migraines, though somewhat. Has eliminated my acne, severe oily skin and reduced the number of skin tags. The tiredness though still remains and my weight gain has finally stopped, but not reduced. I have now been increased in my dosage as my hormone levels are still too high. It's a wait and see for symptoms vs hormone stability. | F | 45 | 12 months 7.5 1X M | 9/1/2012 | 1 | endometriosis | Severe anxiety, severe depression, hair loss, hot flashes, night sweats, crying for no reason | I was given a 3 month Lupron Depot shot. | F | 37 | 3 months 1X day | 8/27/2012 | 3 | Fibriods | -HOT FLASHES that lead to increased heart rate and CHILLS -night sweats -Joint pain -fatigue -weight gain -Memory loss -sick spells out of the blue (couldnt tell what was wrong...just didnt feel good or like myself) | F | 33 | 3 months | 8/21/2012 | 1 | F | 1 days | 8/17/2012 | 5 | Uterine Fibroids | Hot flashes, headaches, weight gain, body aches. | I felt my worst after the first and third shots. After the first shot, I had such severe leg pain and cramps one night that I took ended up taking vicodin after 1200 mgs of ibuprophen did nothing! I had headaches for the entire first 2 weeks after the first shot, and off and on for a week, after the third. I had my period when I got the first shot, and have not bled since. My fibroids have shrunk a bit over 40%, and it has really been life-changing. I am doing what I can to avoid a hysterectomy, and have hopefully entered permanent menopause...bloodwork next week should tell me more. The constant bloated ache is gone. I was confined to my house for at least 2 days during every cycle. I was terrified after reading so much about this shot, but, the side-effects were worth the relief I have gotten. | F | 49 | 3 months 3.75 MG 1X M | 8/5/2012 | 1 | uterine fibroid | Headaches, nausea, rapid weight loss, joint pain, back aches, and worse of all, 4 rib fractures because it caused me full blown OSTEOPOROSIS! | Do not use Lupron Depot for a uterine fibroid, unless you sill plan on having children (I would be worried though for the unborn child) and are going to have surgery for this reason. If you do use the lupron depot because you are going to have children in the future, ONE 3 MONTH INJECTION will shrinkage the fibroid to it's MAXIMUM shrinkage. | F | 52 | 15 months 11.25 1X M | 8/3/2012 | 3 | Endoemetrisosis | Headaches, weight gain, so extremely tired.
