I experienced horrible side effects while on Lupron. At best, hot flashes and night sweats. At worst, chest pain, palpitations, anxiety, achy and swollen joints and muscles. After four months I had to get off it. It took a long time to feel somewhat back to normal. Lately I've been reading posts here from people who have been on the drug for a couple of weeks and are doing OK. I hope they NEVER experience what MANY of us have suffered. But, I myself felt OK the first month I was on it. The serious side effects didn't happen until after my second shot. For some, add-back therapy does relieve symptoms, but there are real risks involved there too, and some of us just can't take hormonal medications. I guess we all have to weigh the side effects/benefits/risks. There aren't a lot of options when it comes to endometriosis.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. Are you feeling better? I am on lupron and very sick. I just need someone to talk to. I am also having bad chest pain, insomnia, etc Do the effects ever go away? My period also never stopped and I'm scared. I have been on it since May 07.
