User Reviews for Lupron Depot intramuscular

Lupron Depot 3.75 was recommended by my OB Gyn to shrink my fibroids before surgery.It has been a week since my first shot and so far no side effects. The bloating and pain in my abdominal area is gone.

I was put on lupron 11.25 in 2009 because i bled very bad for about 4 weeks.My ob/gyn treated me in the hospitol i had to have a blood transfusion and full hystorectomy.told him i wanted a prevenative an gave me the shot.I had horrible side effects...all the above.stopped taking it last part of 2009.started bleeding again an was a the same shape so he put me on the 3.25 once a month shot.i took my second one a couple weeks ago and I want to say i havnt had the bad side effects.I was upset at first and wanted the stronger ever 3 month one but i really cant even tell iv taken it other than i dont have a period.So the ones that have taken the 11mg an couldnt handle the side effects ask your doctor to change it to once a month an i bet you will b able to take it..oh an no weight gain!It was horrible.actually my stomach has went down an am size i have been for years...hope this helps Read More Read Less

I only received 1 injection 1 month prior to having a hydrothermal abblation. I had the injection on 9/17/10 - today is 11/09/10 and I am still having hot flashes. My doctor has assured me that they will go away soon. Does anyone have any idea of about how long I should continue to get them? My surgery was on 10/18/10 and so far it seems to have worked.

I have been taking the shot for 7 months now. The first month I still had a lot of pain. I had my second shot had not had any pain since. I had really bad night sweats but the doctor gave me a pill to help with that I take it at supper and have had no other problems. He just gave me another pill now to take to help with the bone help issue. So far so good. This shot is so much better than the pain that I was dealing with. I had a reaction to the 3month shot so now I can just take the monthly one. Would not change it for anything now.Read More Read Less

Lupron Depot 3 month 11.25mg has been remarkable. Before the shot, I was experiencing flooding menstral cycles and bleeding everyday until the next flooding. I had intense preasure in my uterus. Sept 8th. 2010 I had a hemmorage that caused me to lose pints of blood. I was diagnosed with fibroid tumors larger then grapefruits. My uterus was the size of being 5 months pregnant. I am 49 years old. I am hoping 2 rounds of this drug will put me in permanent menopause. My second dose will be Jan 4th. 2011. It has been a little over a week since I received this drug. The next morning the pain was almost gone. I has lost alot of weight especially through my middle and I no longer look pregnant. I have had some warm spells and some strange symptoms from time to time but nothing major. My bleeding has decreased to occasional spotting. I expect it to stop altogether. It has given me my life back.Read More Read Less

I was on this for five months to treat endometriosis. Within the first month, I experienced severe symptoms of and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Although I've been off the drug for several months, I still have fibromyalgia symptoms.

Like everyone else who's left a review, THE HOT FLASHES AND NIGHT SWEATS are too much!!!! My first shot was in reverse for me, the monthly came down super heavy. Just took the second shot for this month and I'll jus thave to wait to see what happens. *Sigh* my electricity bill... can't go to sleep w/out the air conditioner on!

The hot flashes day and night were unbearable. I had migranes and severe mood swings. One dose and that was enough for me.

I was given lupron 7.5 for inducing menopause at 30 y/o. I have stage 3 breast cancer. This is what doctors do when a person has hormone receptive cancer, and I don't really blame the doctor for prescribing it, BUT I wish the true side-effects were explained, and taken seriously. I hate Lupron, and I would rather die of cancer then ever compromise my quality of life again. I don't know how much time I have left, and I will not spend it all messed up from lupron. It is 4 months after my only dose of this drug, and my anxiety has remained at it's highest ever, I am still weak, and i still get night sweats...hope this ends...These side-effects are SO INTENSE, I see exactly what everyone in this forum is so angry about...Read More Read Less

I have been a very active paraplegic for 23 years and this medicine has destroyed my life. After a radical prostatectomy my PSA increased a little. Dr recommended LUPRON DEPOT. Sept. 1st 2009 had injection. Had 40th class reunion nov 22 and hard remember any details. Nov 24th had fall from reduced muscle strength. Had two fractures of left fibula. I went back to my Dr and my psa was non detectable so I did not need another. Told him I would never take another. I cannot even transfer into my vehicle and have to depend on para transit. Being trapped in house is no fun.Read More Read Less

I was on this medication for only two months. I had a severe allergic reaction to it and was covered with hives the entire time it was in my system. The drug had no effect on my cramps and I continued to constantly be in pain. It was not worth my time or money and I do not recommend it to anyone else. Your doctor may make it seem like this is your only option for treatment but it isn't. I advise anyone seeking treatment for endometriosis to choose a different method.

experience hot flashes and tempraory menopause

ON MY SECOND SHOT LOVE IT! NO MORE PAIN. I HAD CRAMPS FOR 5 WEEKS STRATIGHT AND NOW NO MORE CRAMPING. IT'S JUST THE HOT FLASHES THAT ARE KILLER NOW! IF YOU HAVE ENDO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR AND TRY IT!

The hot flashes and night sweats are killing me.But my pain is gone.Before this point I was doing great the hot flashes were bearable. But each month they seem to get worse. and starting this month my second Month I have started to get Nose bleeds and become very tired and dizzy. Is this a normal side affect? or should I be concerned?

The side effects are ridiculous! I am having severe hot flashes not only during the day but at night which is causing me not to be able to sleep. I have gained a significant amount of weight, and my mood swings are also uncontrollable. I have only taken 2 of 6 shots and I am fed up. I can just hope that the outcome is worth it because the side effects are horrible!

After DES was discontinued, my dr prescribed Lupron Depot, even though my PSA had been less than 0.1 for 10 years. Testicles atrophied, lost all sex drive, gained weight, developed joint pain, blurry vision at time. Quit the program after 2 years, had no problems with cancer returning, PSA has remained less than 0.1 for the past 12 years.

When i first started taking this medication it was amazing.. but then over time i realized i would rather go through the 2 weeks of pain because of the surgery then another round of this medication. It has effected me severly and it is definitly not worth all the side-effects.. if i had known what it would put me through before i got offered to take it i would of declined the treatment and gone with the surgery right off the bat. It did help in the first few months but my endometriosis has recently returned and is worse then before. The doctor also did not describe all of the symptoms of this drug or for that matter the condition i have. So i had to get second opinions. I strongly urge you to search elsewhere for a treatment becuase lupron depot is not worth everything you willl go through.Read More Read Less

I was put on Lupron to shrink a fibroid and stop excessive bleeding. I received 3 injections nad will never receive another. I have had the hot flashes, which I expected but I also have experienced severe migraines, mood swings, inexplicable weight gain and bloating, sudden increase in my blood pressure....used to be very, very low....and extreme joint pain. I have expressed this to health professionals but none will agree that it is the Lupron. I didn't have ANY of these issues before the injections. This is all far too coincidental for me. I do not recommend it to anyone for anything.Read More Read Less
