User Reviews for Lupron subcutaneous

After not getting pregnant and stage 5 endo. I started lupron march 9th. Before my first shot. my cycle was very heavy and i had lots of clots. I was also so down and depressed. I was always upset and mad. Since my first shot, I have had no side effects. My cycle this month was not be heavy and have had just one little clot. Even on my heavy day no clots just the one at the end of my cycle. I am getting back to my old self. I was so worried with all the stuff I have read about side effects but so far my first month has been good. All the stuff I have read women said the first month was bad and some said so bad they stopped lupron. I don't feel this way and I'm so far pleased. I just hope that my endo does go away or away enough so I can finally get pregnant. I'll post again next month! I don't want ppl not to take it becasue what they have read, it scared me. I went ahead and tried lupron becasue it was my only hope. The doctor said a 3rd surgery would just scar me up more and lower my chances of getting pregnant. She said lupron would give me the best chance. I had nothing to lose. So Yeah! Im pleased so far and I hope I stay happy with it and pray I get pregnant.Read More Read Less

I have endometriosis, fibroids, and cysts on ovaries. I had first treatment with Lupron 2 years ago, to help with pain and prevent further growths after surgery. Then, I had no side effects at all, and was pain free after the 3rd shot of Lupron for 1 year. I was extremely happy with the results. Now I am on Lupron again, just took 3rd shot, and it did not help much with pain, and I have horrible side effects: weakness, fainting, cold sweats 24/7, nausea, vomiting, cannot eat anything, trouble urinating, short breath, and ocassionally shooting burning pain in one brest. I can barely go to work any more, I spend most time trembling cold and sweating at the same time in bed, and I am not taking taking any more Lupron ever.Read More Read Less

I have had sever hot flashes and night sweats as a result of my second injection. I have also had some really up and down mood swings. However, on a bright note I have had less pain with my endometriosis than before.

Lupron apparently reduces my PSA Side effects; weight gain and growing breasts

I took Lupron just ONCE for a fibroid and it utterly destroyed my abdominal wall, and thus my life. I have not recovered even after major surgery. I also had sharp shooting pains right away, and now have osteoporosis. The drug didn't even shrink my fibroid! Lupron is a dangerous drug that should be off the market!

This will be my second 6 month round of treatment for endometriosis. I lost my right ovary about 1 1/2 years ago and had my last shot October 2010. The symptoms have now come back, but even worse. I really loved being on the Lupron, no menstural cycle for 6 months and the night sweats and hot flashes were not that bad. This has really worked well for me.

Questionable effectiveness after 3 treatments (9 months) withexternal radiation PSA is rising again. Side effects (bone density loss, weight gain, various metobolistic anonomalies) i would not take it again

Sweats, mood swing, lime salty taste in my mouth. Been going on for 6 months. I beleive it is form having this shot.

Injection taken 10/2/2010.On 12/1/2010 experienced sweating at 50 deg,f. Every 10 minutes I have "hot flashes". Radiologist sad it will cease8/2/2011. Internet search found no cessation. I am 67 and dont think it was necessary. The cancer seldom is fatal before 10 years and the risk of heart failure are too great. I am sure it was given to generate wealth for the clinic.

Had 6months of once a month shot of lupron to shrink uterine fibroid. i experienced severe hot flashes, depressio, hair loss and darkening of my skin especially on my face.But the most important thing is that it shrunk my 22cm fibroid to 15cm and made the surgery safer and easier,i had a positive attitude though and i take all the side effects as mild changes that will go with time, and most importantly,i exercised regularly and was eatind lots of fruits, veggie and soy milk.

After a radical prostatectomy and my PSA increased somewhat. My Dr said there maybe some stray cancer cells present. I took the 3 month injection 09/01/09 and my life has been pure misery since. Went back to Dr and he advised me my PSA was >0.01 so would not need another injection. Told him would never take again my body and mind might not survive. I have been a paraplegic for 25 years and this med robbed me of most of my muscle strength. The bone pain in areas where I had no sensation is getting unbearable. The pain has caused many changes in mood and interaction with friends and family. I have also lost motivation for basic everyday task.Read More Read Less

This drug has caused my dear friend to have osteopenia and thyroid disorders as well as permanent disability and continual pain. All of this is medically verified by M.D. doctors. I personally have spoken with a woman who is only 35 years old, who now walks with a cane, after Lupron. Prior to Lupron she was active and healthy other than endometrisis. This drug is pure poison check out Youtube see a ABC News Story from Las Vegas. Further, it is category X for pregnancy and can harm the fetus. Why are they giving it for IVF? There are over 12,000 MedWatch reports about this hideous drug at FDA. There are far more risks than benefits. It has a 0% cure rate for Endometriosis and a 98% adverse event rate and it is ONLY a temporary pain reliever that shuts down your entire endocrine systems. Run away from your doctor if he suggests this nightmare. This drug destroys the human body!!!Read More Read Less

Prescribed this drug due to acute endometriosis. Had hot flashes, night sweats, and weigh gain. Also, haven't had the pain. Highly satisfied with this treatment.

I did not have severe side effects .

On day 9 of taking it as a gestational carrier. No pain with injection and no noticeable side effects other than a headache today but who's to say if that's from the meds or something else?

Hi, i have experienced lot of depression and after third shot i had a delayed periods and now in 50 day and i have no signs of getting periods. Iam upset because iam not able to get pregnant.

Some burning & bruising at injection sites. Not too bad in the side effects department, but I've had some headaches and am tired, but can't sleep well. Is all worth it if this helps me get the results I want tho!

Lupron caused severe depression, fatigue, joint pain and very disrupted sleep and my father committed suicide after three injections that a nurse practioner gave him for prostate cancer. This drug us poison. There is a petition against this drug with Congress. He also had a bad heart and lupron causes cardiac arrest so the nurse never should have given him this drug. This drug has many complaints against it from patients, researchers, etc. Don't take this drug at all.

I WAS TAKING LUPRON TO SUPPRESS MY CYCLE BECAUSE I WAS DONATING MY EGGS TO MY SISIER, THIS DRUG MADE ME VERY IRRITABLE, MORNING SWEATS, AND TERRIBLE HEADACHES. I HAD TO STOP AND GO ON GANARELX
