Depo lupron symptoms and conditions

I am due to start the depo lupron shot this Wednesday & i was just wondering how quick the side effects start....if anyone can help me please do....oh yea and im nervous as can be ....

I was on the Depo Lupron for 4 months. I had all the typical side effects; hot flashes, acne, night sweats, and weight gain. All which I was told by my Doctor that are all normal.... I asked if there were any other major side effects and he said some, but with a very low occurrence and left it at that. Well, I started gaining more weight... I put on 15 pounds in less then a month. I had a lump on the side of my throat and couldn't figure out why I was so tired all the time, why my hair was falling out, and why my skin was so dry. I went online and read a little more about the drug and it's side effects. Yep, right there it said it was known to cause thyroid problems. So now I have to live with hypothyroidism, something that is manageable, but will never go away. All because this drug. I say if you don't need to take it, DON"T!

I am 30 years old and have been put on Depo Lupron after a laproscopy to help with endometriosis. I am 2 months into a 6 month course (one shot every 3 months) of Depo Lupron and my life has drastically changed. I started feeling life altering hot flashes and night sweats two days after the first shot and nearly drown myself in sweat 24 hours a day. I experienced a little postpardum depression after giving birth 6 years ago but have found myself sunk into a sinking hole of depression and anger like I've never felt before. I bawl at McDonald's commercials and become enraged if the dishwasher isn't loaded properly! I am ecstatic one minute and severely depressed the next. I have even had thought of suicide since being on this shot. I am normally a very outgoing, athletic, cheerful, happy person - but since taking this shot, I have become a stanger in my own head. I tell my family all the time that I need to "go stick my head in the freezer" to cool off because of the horrific hot flashes. I have to carry a handheld fan with me 24 hours a day and sleep with ice packs to keep cool. Since the shot started 2 months ago, I have lost all sexual drive, am thoroughly exhausted by 9am and find myself crying at my desk at work by late afternoon because I am so tired. My family thinks I am going crazy and I've never fought more with my husband. My daughter has gone to grandma's for awhile because I'm just so tired and irritable that I feel like an awful mother. Migraines have also come full circle since the onset of the shot as well as blurred vision and shaky hands. I'm a little achy throughout the as well. I know that everyone responds to medication differently, but I'm finding a lot of people with the same side effects as myself and have to wonder why the doctors don't warn patients about these types of problems before prescribing medications such as Depo Lupron. I don't think I'll be going back for the second shot. Could it get any worse?

Wow...so after eating 2.5 plates of pasta...I was wondering how the hell I could eat so much..I mean mounds of pasta! But of course...since I have been using the Nuvaring I am ALWAYS hungry...and I have used depo provera..and depo lupron because I have endometriosis..and have also lost my sex drive. Not to mention the fact that my breasts are very tender! It has stopped my period which is great because I was on my period for 6 months..not even kidding...I would have 1 or 2 day breaks sometimes, but was bleeding most of the time. I guess I have to live with the side effects since it is helping my endo. so far....but it just sucks because i was hoping this would finally be the thing that would agree with my body! ahhh sometimes being a female is sooo difficult!

In brief, I am a 35 year old mother of two. I have been suffering with endo since I am 14. I had a span of 4 years with no symptoms at all and in Sept. 05 I had a total hysterectomy for endo and cancer cells on my cervix. I recently spent a week in the hospital for 2 endometriomas which are on the one and only ovary I have left, they are both bleeding and my doctor whom I trusted and his colleagues recommended a 6 month depo-lupron injection treatment before they do surgery to fix up the endo, they are reluctant to remove the remaining ovary due to my age but I will INSIST until someone listens. They did not tell my husband or I about any side affects and because I was in a tremendous amount of pain and because I trusted Dr. Shine so much I accepted the treatment, they faxed my husband the prescription at his work and he had to go find it when he did finally found it he brought it to St. Marys hospital and the nurse injected me and 2 days later I went home, I was sent home with celebrex, iron pills and morpheine pills for the pain...well I was back in the ER 3 days later because the pain was unbearable, my blood pressure was high and I was going insane, I met with the gyno on call and she expressed her disgust with her colleague for not telling me about the side affects of lupron and how the drug worked. My first shot was on the 13th of April and today is the first day I am feeling human, I have little endo pain but let me tell you the hip and back pain are killing me slowly. I am a very active mother and wife and I play sports but even the thought of that now hurts. I have not been able to work and will not return until I feel good, I am REALLY scared of getting the next injection which will be on the 11th of may and my new doctor told me to go through with the treatment for the next 5 shots because even though it will not be easy she insists that it will help me and once I am done they will perform surgery, I have set-up 2 other appointments with specialists and my Family Doctor is the only one that has been there for me, he follows me daily and has set-up a bone density test. Is there anyone with similiar situation that can help me out. I have other side affects but the hip and back pain are the ones I will never forget, I think I would have 10 more births drug free then to have to experience the pain again after the next shot...

I have been getting DEPO LUPRON 11.25 every 3 month for
prostate cancer for the last 15 months and I have swelling of my legs can this be one of it's side effects?

I'm 21 years old and was treated for endometriosis back in August of 2004. I started my Lupron shots one week ago because my endo., has already returned. Even though it's only been a week, I've aleady started feeling the side effects. I started feeling extremely tired, weak, and I've had severe nausea that started a few days ago, not to mention migranes. Are these normal side effects of the Depo-Lupron injections? The day before yesterday I stayed home from work because I felt weak, severe cramping and nausea. Yesterday when I returned to work, I had to come home early because I started vomiting and couldn't stop. Today, I'm back at work, I haven't been vomiting, but still have headaches, and nausea. I know I'm not pregnant because I just had a heavy menstral last week and I even took two pregnancy tests early on to see if I was and both tests came out negative. I just got married 3 weeks ago, so my poor husband has to put up with all of this, but he's been really helpful and supportive. If I decide not to continue on, will it hurt anything? I don't want to keep going on like this.

Hi, just got my first depo lupron shot July 7. Is break-through bleeding a side effect?I haven't had any symptoms yet. Just this spotting.
