I am a 30 year old woman of 2. I have just started my second round of Lupron. The first one wasn't so bad, I had some hair loss, lack of sex drive and mood swings. I knew this could happen before I took the drug. I did get relief while on the drug. I took the entire 6 months worth, and when I was finished I started my period again within 2 months. It was worse than before, if thats possible. My doctor refuses to do surgery and said it is safe to stay on the drug "indefinatly" with hormone replacement therapy. I have just had my second shot on round two, this time the hot flashes are so bad I couldn't sleep, my hair is falling out in huge clumps, mood swings were horrible and sex drive was a thing of the past. However I find when I take the low dose hormones I do feel better, it helps with the hot flashes, mood swings and sex drive, somewhat. The only other thing I have noticed this time is my breasts are getting slightly smaller. I think these are small prices to pay for the pain to be gone. I am undecided as to what I am going to do for the future, but I will proceed with caution after reading your stories. Thank you for sharing.
