On Lupron for 2 years. Last injection was 9 months ago. Still having all of the bad side effects. When does this drug wear off?

Worst experience I've had. Gave me hives & water blisters & intense itching all over my body - ears, arms, chest & back, thighs & legs, even my palms & back of hands, top & bottom of feet. It's now 3 months later & still have itching, rashes and scabs & leathery skin. Also still getting hot flashes, shrunken "manhood", slightly enlarged breasts including pain & fluid leaking at the nipples. The fluid dries crusty and is also coming out of every sore & rash area. I refuse to get this poison ever again. My urologist only suggested using Benedryl - which by the way should NOT be used when your prostate is enlarged and blocks urine flow - so there is NO REMEDY to reverse these horrible side effects. The injection I got was a 6 month dose so my hope is within the next 3 months the bad side effects will subside. Just finished 39 sessions of radiation. Oncologist recommended a total of 24 months hormone therapy so this means going back for monthly doses of firmagon for an additional 15 months. Not looking forward to that & may seek other alternatives.

six month injection for prostate cancer. My reaction has not been good. Lots of bone pain, lower back pain, trouble breathing, enlarged heart, so tired I can hardly get out of bed. The doctor didn't take this part of my health problem: CFS and fibro. I am at the end of the six months and still having all the issues.
