User Reviews for Lupron Depot (3 month) intramuscular

I took this and had severe side effects, mood swings, depression, bleeding off and on with heavy cramping. Severe chest pain too. Also had severe acne. Never had any acne in my life.Told Dr. of problems and she just blew them off. Said I had to continue with the full 6 month treatment. Had last shot in Dec. Full blown period 2 weeks later with the most severe cramping I've ever had.Also having severe depression and thoughts of sucide. Would absolutly not recommend this to anyone. Worst mistake I ever made. Please stay away from this medication.Read More Read Less

I took one dose of Lupron for endometriosis, and it not only excaserbated my condition, but severely messed up my mood. I had a mildly heavy period for the whole three months, horrible cramps (worse than when I was off it), and it relapsed my depression. I told my doctor I had mood issues, and he assured me Lupron would not affect my mood. Boy was he wrong: I fell into one of my deepest depressions to date, becoming listless, hopeless, and suicidal--I almost got hospitalized twice while on it. Three days after my dose wore off and I switched to a new medication, my period and cramps stopped (well, mostly) and my depression cleared. IF YOU HAVE ANY HISTORY OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, OR OTHER MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TAKING LUPRON!!!Read More Read Less

It's great not having a cycle but the flashes, mood swings, sweating is fierce. Use cautiously.

Is it normal to not get a period for months after. I only took it once for endrometriosis... It didn't help. I got the shot in August and haven't had one since and no period.

There are side effects that you should discuss with doctor. For prostate treatment, I understand "flare" can be reduced be preceding treatment with Casodex. I had pain around site of 2nd injection, which went away after a few days. Fatigue is main side effect now.

The first few days I had very severe bone pain and my dr. said she had never heard of that as a side effect. After I got past that, I've had minimal problems. I do have to take a hormone pill every day so I don't have hot flashes and mood swings, so I haven't experienced any of that at all. I only had the injection a month ago.

TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS_ DO NOT TAKE

I started this medication for endometrosis, I had hot flashes as well. the side effects wernt so bad but it has been almost a year and my cycle hasn't came back. Is this normal?

I took 2 three month injections for endometrosis. I had severe headaches and abdominal pain. When the injection wore off at the end of my last shot, I had severe headaches, dizzyness, hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue.

Took it for Endometriosis I feel this Medication possibly gave me a stroke. Stay away from it.

I have severe endometriosis and had two shots of the lupron. It worked for the pelvic pain well enough after the first shot. I had lots of hot flashes and mood swings. When the firs shot started to wear off i started to get migraines really bad. After the second shot, my pain came back full throttle.
