I started to take this knowing all of the side effects i studied it extensively through the internet, nursing and pharmacology books. It was just getting hard to do somethings so i gave in to having the shot 3.25mg.

I started to take this knowing all of the side effects i studied it extensively through the internet, nursing and pharmacology books. It was just getting hard to do somethings so i gave in to having the shot 3.25mg. I also started Prozac 20mg at the same time given by my family MD to counterbalance the depression, i was most worried about that. First month a little worse mostly hot flashes like crazy. Second month pain pretty much gone still side effects third month even better.. started hormones also helped with the hot flashes fourth shot did not even start to work. I told my doctor that it didnt even feel like it kicked in and he said i was prob right it wasnt strong enough. So i got another 3.25mg that day which did not work either. and he is ordering the 7.5mg for this week. I am not sure when i go to the office if i am going to get that one. I quit taking my prozac because i was kinda numb.... and had lost all sex drive, that has gotten a tiny bit better.... But in reality my mass of endo (where it all started feels bigger i can feel it in my abd). and the pain is still there. I am hoping he will do laproscopy soon just to get the big mass out even. Only doing this so i can have more children. He said this is all from my C section! I don't feel like me though soo only one more shot and i am done with the lupron i wanna feel like me i can handle the pain if i have to.....

After having multiple ovarian cysts, 2 laparoscopies, finding stage IV endo, and having a tube and ovary removed my Dr felt that putting me on the Lupron would be the best thing for me.

After having multiple ovarian cysts, 2 laparoscopies, finding stage IV endo, and having a tube and ovary removed my Dr felt that putting me on the Lupron would be the best thing for me. I have been trying to have children for years with no success. My doctor who performed my last surgery and recommended this drug to me is also a reproductive specialist. He was VERY informative as to what the side effects of this drug are and how my body MAY react. I could tell he was very informed. He let me know that women who have gone through the same procedures as I, then taken this drug, have a much higher success rate for becomming pregnant. I took the shot for 4 months, just ending in September of 2009. During this time I experienced little to no side effects. I prepared myself for the worst, but hoped for the best. No hot flashes, very few mood swings, no depression...however, I did experience slight weight gain. I honestly feel that if you know what you are getting into with the Lupron, that you can control some of the effects...you know WHY this is happening, which to me made it easier. I am now over a month past my last shot and am still feeling great. I have absolutely nothing negative to say in regards to Lupron. I feel that this has been just the start to my wonderful future. I wish everyone luck who takes Lupron, and can only hope that your experience will be as pleasant as mine has been.

I have been on this drug for 2 months now. I choose to take this drug hoping that it would stop the abdominal pain that I have been suffering from do to the Endometriosis. It seems to be helping but it has been hard to determine. The side effects have been living hell! I have been suffering through constant hot flashes, headaches, mood swings, depression, weight gain, insomnia, joint pain, lack of energy, lack of appetite, inflammation and dryness that causes sex to be painful (which was the main problem with the Endo...), dizziness, and horrible short term memory. I am hoping that I will be pain free in 4 more months or this will have been a huge mistake. Wish me luck.
