This shot has ruined my life! I started taking it April 1st 2006. I went through the whole 6 months treatment. The Hot flashes started first. I swear the only way I can discribe it is, it felt like hell escaping my body! The the headaches came. I was taking store bought migraine medication like it was candy. I gained 32 pounds and I am a small build woman. The weight gain is so uncomfortable. Then it hit like the devil I became depressed. I worry all the time about nothing at all, I cry like everyday all day, and I feel like crap all the time.
I recieved my last shot September 1st 2006 and had a Lap. the 13th of September. They said everything looked beautiful and that I was going to stop the hot flashes, the headaches would go away, lose the weight and I would be back to my old self in no time.
Well they were wrong. That medication (Lupron) has screwed me up totally!!! I have heard it worked miracles for some and that is great to each there own. But my oppinion it is the Devils works.
Good luck to those who take it, but I strongly suggest you talk to your doctor about everything that is possible and how and when it can be helped if you experience any side effects!!
