I was given Lupron shots for 6 months to reduce the size of a fibroid tumor due to excessive periods. At one point prior, my hemoglobin was down to 8.8 prior.
What a horrible drug. I was thrown straight into menopause with huge mood shifts and headaches. Eventually, the fibroid was deemed small enough to operate on. Since then, I’ve had to go on Testosterone supplements and have had several painful ovarian cysts burst. My uterus was finally removed due to the continuance of fibroids but I never took that drug again, although offered two more times. Now I’m on testosterone treatment and am recovering from an ovarian torsion which was surgically repaired.

I took 1 Lupron shot in 1994 at 20 years old trying to stave off an early hysterectomy from stage 4 Endometriosis. It turned me into a raging catastrophe, extreme anger, depression and a risk to other people's safety and well-being. Ask my ex-husband. I was so bad the doctor would only give me 1 shot. I was scheduled for 6 at a $1000.00 a piece. I continued to have my cycle along with a very early hysterectomy within the next 6 months. The long term effects are getting worse: constant bone & joint pain, feet are numb and/or painful, depression, insomnia, hot flashes, constant itching, severe mood changes and a state of exhaustion all of the time. I took this medicine while fighting for my life. As the symptoms get worse, i worry about my health for the future.

I was initially given Lupron during an Ovarian Torsion in 2005 due to endometriosis, and then was kept on it for 1 year. I was diagnosed with migraines after being on this, noticed memory loss, I am achy still, but the biggest is due to this drug my ovarian reserve was diminished. Studies have now shown this drug does diminish this value and I am not able to have children. I was never even advised when giving this drug this could be a potential side effect. Not only do I have to live with the pain of this disease, now I have to cope with this horrific life altering side effects from this drug that was suppose to help me.

I was given 9 injections of Depot Lupron in the 1990's, the first given to me under anesthesia for a burst ovary. Since then I have had bone pain, joint pain, neuralgia, depression, anxiety and more including dx of Primary Sjogren's Syndrome where I have been under treatment of the USC Chief of Staff at Rheumatology. I used to b healthy. Lupron ruined my health.

What about the lasting effects of this drug on woman, who are using it for endometriosis? Something has got to be done. I cannot work anymore and cannot function most of the time because of this drug! My doctor promised it would be fine. I am a single mom of 3 littles and need help for myself now. Anyone else?

1992 I had 6 months of Lupron shots. I have had major health issues ever since. Ranging from severe osteoporosis, arthritis, losing my teeth, fatigue, depression, memory loss, fractures and much more . No one ever said all this could be related to lupron. Is there class action lawsuits and why is the drug still
being used? Im 47yr old and disabled now from all my health issues. We should have been warned.

I lost everything after taking lupin. I received 6 shots starting in 1992. I suffer from memory loss right up to this day. 2018. I have bone pain and worst of all I could not process day to day events My emotions could not be of controllably. I was like a crazy old lady going through menopause. Just like everyone jokes about the change of life except I was 32 years old. My marriage broke up and my personality completely changed. Degenerate disc disease and some heart problems also seem to come with this. All I know is my enodometrios was not server enough and Dr. Probably got a kickback. I am weak all the time.and have headaches a such a loss of memory.It really ruined my life. Sleep problems. Ask anyone in my family. I changed as soon as I had those sots. Ash my ex husband a children WO lost the Peron they loved to this drug. These are only the things I can think of right now. Remember memory loss. I have signed petitions to be heard and I hope this is read. It ruins me ask my children they have suffered from me taking lupin. I couldn't work if I wanted to. This medicine has ruined my life. Please do something to justify we are all not crazy
I have a lot of people who would be gladly to back up what I am saying. Again there is more. Also all my teeth fell out one by one. Now wear dentures. I'm 56

I was given two injections, treated for six months with the Lupron depot. I was given a mirena after my second shot. The mirena was put in September of 2016. Since then, i have memory loss, horrible pain in low abdomen, back pain, joint pain, HAIR LOSS, when I say hair loss I meam half of my head is completely bald. I need help, i have to look at myself everyday like this. My hair isnt growing back either. I have skin lesions, that took over my left side of my upper body. That went away on their own. I am not sure what to do, i feel like a guinea pig. Please help.

I was given Lupron to "treat" my endometriosis in 2012 and it has done nothing to help, just cause me more pain and suffering. I've lost teeth after being given this drug, I have insomnia more often after this drug, was treated for depression after this drug. I could go on and on with my sufferings. We need to end this drug and stop giving it to my Endo sisters, knowing it won't help them. We need a cure, not more pain
