User Reviews for Lupron Depot intramuscular

I HAD BEEN IN A LOT OF PAIN FOR A WHILE. THE SHOT ITSELF TOOK AWAY A LOT OF THE PAIN BUT THE SIDE EFFECT NOT SO GOOD. SWEATING LIKE U WOULD NOT BELIEVE, HOT FLASHES, NIGHT SWEATS, NO APPITE, AND NO SEX DRIVE. IF UR N A LOT OF PAIN, N MY EYES WHATEVER WILL HELP I WILL DO. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN OF MY OWN AND 3 STEP CHILDREN SO I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR PAIN.

think it over carefully. this shot made me so sick that my severe endometriosis and fibroids are easier to live with (at least for now, 5 months post-operative) than the side effects. i took it for a few months and didn't finish the cycle. couldn't sleep, hot flashes ALL THE TIME. sounds like no big deal but it was wretched. hopefully it helps some, but be careful deciding to do it. intolerable for me. NEVER NEVER again. a thoroughly horrible experience.

I was on lupron for six months. Only side effect was hot flashes, which were SO much easier to deal with than the previous debilitating pain. My periods completely stopped. I loved it, loved it, loved it!

I had stage IV endometriosis and 16 fibroid cysts, one of which was cancerous. My Dr. placed me on this drug to sustain and stop the endometriosis by putting me into menopause. My Doctor was very clear on the side affects. However; after 6 months of being on this shot, the endometriosis came back. Other risks are possible now, but I would have to get a radical hysterectomy at 35. I would like to have children and this is the only way. The hot flashes and night sweats are more within the fist few days after the shot and then a few days before the shot. It did discontinue the cancerous cyst from coming back, so it is a 50/50 feeling. I hope this may help someone.Read More Read Less

After three weeks into the injection I have begun to experience mood swings, headaches, as of yet my period has not come.

I have suffered severe and horrible pain since using this drug. I have had memory problems, vision problems, and vertigo. I have had sudden attacks of high blood pressure. I cannot get this drug out of my system and it terrifies me. I cannot receive treatment for this drug and my medical bills have mounted. Do not use this drug.

Lupron was given to me over 3 years ago.I lost my job, used my retirement, my cobra expired. I am in debt since I was hospitalized. Self pay is charged more than double. I had so much due to my hard work and this has been taken away from me.Now I have bill collectors calling me and I find that very difficult, my family never had to deal with a collection agency.I have lived with terrible bone and joint pain everyday due to this poison that was put in my system. I don't believe the doctor read his PDR about this drug and had only relied on what the sales person told him when he got the free drugs.To make it even more painful, I have been told it is all in my head by a surgeon, another doctor told me I have a mood disorder.Many other women have heard things like that from other doctors. Tap the maker of this drug owes me for the over three years and my medical bill plus my retirement. They had reps out in the field not telling the truth about the drug.NOw over three years later doctors are starting to tell the truth about this drug.Read More Read Less

The first few months on this were extremly rough for me. Then again I was 16 and going through a chemically enduced menopause. I missed out on a lot of things that normal teenage girls get to do, until my doctor suggested this. I was scared but since I was on Lupron I haven't had any signs of the endometriosis again. I was on it for a year and a half.
