My daughter took Lupron as a 14 year old, perfectly normal teenager with the exception of endometriosis. She is now a 33 year old shell of the vibrant teen she was. She is bi-polar, maniac depressive. The changes in her were immediate and startling to say the least. I feel like it ruined her life. I have just started investigating the terrible side effects and was shocked to see so many other people whom lives it destroyed. If anyone has advice, anything to get help, please reply.

After taking Fosamax, 70 mg once weekly for four months, I awoke one morning with vertigo. My husband had to assist me from the bed to the bathroom. The dizziness and vertigo lessened to where I could walk unassisted but could not do floor exercises because lying flat caused the room to spin and nausea that continued for hours afterwards. I also got heart palpitations, coldness, and malaise, usually a couple of hours after taking the medication. The vertigo continued for three months until I got off Fosamax. I am now taking strontium citrate, 680 mg daily. I buy it on-line from *******, but it can also be purchased at your local health food store. Strontium, in the form of strontium ranelate, is prescribed in several countries, including some in western Europe. Reports I have read claim strontium in any form will reverse osteoporosis.

Hello Everyone,
First I would like to address those who had terrible reactions to the drug. My heart goes out to you and please don't be offended when I tell you this: Life is a risk and when it comes to science there are never guaranties. With anything you will have a side effect good or bad. You will be a Guinea pig no matter who you are or what drug you take, because everyone reacts differently. Some good and Some Bad.
Second, to those of you who are looking into this for a cure, sorry unfortunately like cancer this is a reoccurring disease. The drug is to help calm your system down and to give your body a rest. I would have to say Lupron saved my life. After all the years of pain and suffering, and hospital visits that occurred due to the severe pain. After having surgery to remove these areas and the doctor who recommended this drug to me was a life saver. I was on it for a year and was put on the NuvaRing afterwards and had mood swings and hot flashes, BUT Ladies...No PERIODS and NO MORE PAIN!! Yeah I gained a little weight, but that was water weight, you can go to your local health food store to buy herbal diuretics and exercise...excercise. I agree Lupron isn't for everyone, but either is another drug out there. You take a chance with any chemical you put in your body. It is HOPE that encourages us to try these medications. I have to say 10 years later I had a beautiful little boy and yes they say even pregnancy gives you relief, but unfortunately for me I had a C-section. Causing me more scar tissue and a reoccurred of severe endometriosis. Due to funds and no insurance I have had to be put on a sister drug called Depo-Provera. It is similar side effects, but ladies take my advice. Lupron isn't for everyone, but I think if you are a good candidate for the drug, try it. It might make a difference in your life...I pray it is positive!!

I'm glad I found this site .. I too have been on Advair for many, many years due to chronic asthma. While the drug has helped me control my asthma, for the past two years every time I get a cold, I get pneumonia. I also have chronic thrush I cannot get rid of and one poster had mentioned her feet cramping and I've had some of that too. My doctor doesn't really listen to my complaints, but getting pneumonia really scares me - I have two small children to take care of. Hope all the posters are doing better now.

I did not like the effects of the steriods that were prescribed to me for my asthma so I looked for a more natural way to ease my breathing difficulty. RespirActin is a liquid herbal treatment for when I am having difficulty and RespirActin Tea is what I consume a couple of times a week to maintain repiratory health. Ask your local health food store for what they would recommend. Getting rid of my two cats was not an option. It has been a year and I have not returned to the doctors for any reason.

My daughter is 6 and has been on singulair for 2 years. Anytime we miss a pill she ends up with a fever of about 100 and is exhausted. Within a couple of days of her medicine it's gone again. The doctors think it's a complete coincidence but I don't agree.
