User Reviews for Lupron Depot (4 month) intramuscular

I am on the third 4 month dose of this drug.My PSA has gone from 19.5 before trearment to.05 after the first 4 month shot and to .02 after the second 4 month dose . Iam now on the third 4 month dose and will have my PSA checked after I give blood on 7/2.

only had 1 treatment so far

besides the hot flashes this drug ha really helped me with endometriosis

the hot flashes and night sweats are terrible. My bones are constantly aching after the first injection. I have mood swings, dizziness, and concentration problems, numbness in my left arm along with tingling in my hands.

severe muscle cramps, moderate bone loss in less than 6 months of use, severe GI problems, weight loss, stomach bleeding, anemia. may be great for some, but if you have any allergies or any kind of stomach sensitivity, WATCH OUT! had to stop after one year, side effects worse than disease.

Was a very hairy man but have lost all chest and back hair as well as hair in my arm pits. Have lost all urges of sexual desire along with erection problems and also the possibility of erection size by 2-3". Sometimes have sleepless nights and have resorted to natural sleeping pills

I was diagnosed with endometriosis. The side effects of this medicne began after 3 days and progressively got worse. My mood swings effected my family and my work. I feel like I am demented and everything I do is a frustrating task that I cannot complete. I am only on my second shot and cannot stand whats happening.

I started Lupron Depot 4 month injection three weeks ago to stop my period....I am a four year survivor of breast cancer. The side effects have been very difficult, including regular and frequest dizziness, fatique, weakness, and headaches. I do not know whether it is effective at this point. I will not stay on the medicine as the side effects are too bad. They are, in fact, reminiscent of chemotherapy....

Fifteen years ago, my husband was given 5 years to live because his cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. He has been on Lupron depot for the past 14 years. He has also been taking Casodex for the past 10 years or when it first came out. He takes naps when necessary but he is still very active. He has complained this past year of bone pain and some dizziness. My husband is 84 years old and takes care of 15 steers, 2 horses and 2 dogs. Last year he stacked 100 bales of hay by himself. He has a strong faith in God, a positive attitude and a sense of humor. I'm sure the Lupron and Casodex also helps. He believes in quality of life and not quantity of life. I hope this review helps other advanced cancer patients.Read More Read Less

The only measure of it's effectiveness is a PSA level of >1.4 during a 21 month period. My weight gain is ~20# with restless sleep.

weight gain,fatigue and trouble sleeping have been my side effects. Hot flashes initially but lessened after about three injections

tiredness - lethargic

this medicine has worked for me for the last 2-years.
