I've been using Lupron since June 07 and other than hot flashes and slight breast enlargement I have not encountered any other problems. My psa dropped from .59 to .08 in three months.

I had to stop the injections because of serious mood swings, and depression. I'm a 57 year old man and began picking fights with men much younger than me, including a 30 year old professional boxer. I don't know for sure what my next option is but it won't be lupron.

I have been injecting Leuprolide for a little over 2 weeks now. The only side affects that I have experienced are diareah, hot flashes and some mood swings. I have lost a little weight, though I am not sure if it has anything to do with the medication. The medicine is easy to inject and doesnt hurt one bit.

I am a 75 year old male. I have had good results with these shots. I have had 3 shots so far and they have brought my PSA down from 5.7 to .20. I have a slight breast enlargements, but other than that, no side effects. I am very satisfied with the treatments. They are administered in the doctors office.

I have been doing injections of lupron every four weeks for almost six months now. For treatment of endometriosis. I got extremely sick for the first week, I could not keep even the smallest amount of food down. I literally was walking around with a bucket..not so much walking, I was exhausted. After about the first week I had zero pain, zero! I don't think I had any idea how difficult these treatments would be. I am, if i may say so, an extremely kind and gentle person by nature. Since my treatments I am extremely volatile. Irritated by the smallest of things. I am extremely emotional and extremely tired. oh and hungry..very strong cravings. The hot flashes are awful but not as bad as the night sweats. Your tired all day and then the night sweats keep you from getting a good night sleep. If I could give any advice it would be to get a bucket and a reusable water bottle for water (ice, ice, ice) for next to your bed. I shared all of this because I wish someone had shared it with me..so hopefully I helped and you won't feel so crazy like i did. What it comes down to is, it works, it sucks but it works. so good luck to you.Read More Read Less
