I just finished my last shot in my six month treatment of Lupron. My doc tells me he wants me to do another six months because he has never seen anyone with so few side effects. I haven't had any hot flashes, very few headaches, I'm a little achy now and then, and my moodiness is tolerable. The only thing I would like to change is my ability to get a full night's sleep. I always feel exhausted and like I don't have too much energy. My question, however, is about blood pressure. Since I have started the Lupron, my pressures have consistently been 20 points higher than normal and it's getting to the point where my doc says I need to do something (like hypertension meds) for my own safety. Does anyone else have this from the Lupron? I am 27 and the Lupron has completely taken away my endo pain!!

I am also 27 and have been suffering from sever endo for about 10 years now it was to the point my doctors said I would not be able to have kids but I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter.About 3 months ago I had to go back and start up with the lupron shot and I am on my 2 nd 3 month shot I have been having problems with my blood pressure but It started way before I started the lupron shot again though I am now wondering if it is adding to my blood pressure problems.. Other than that I love the shot and the way it has helped me. The hot flashes how ever I could do with out!! But then who couldn't?!

I just got my fourth shot of lupron and since my second shot my blood pressure has been high and sometimes through the roof. I am sick all the time too. I throw up at times, I suffer with migraines but now they are unbearable. I am on anti depressants from my doctor because I get real down and angry at times. I have a fast heart beat that started a couple of weeks ago. I suffer with adenomyosis and I finally stopped bleeding when I got the third shot. My hair started coming out by the time I got the second shot. I put braids in my hair. I have thick hair so braids never took my hair out, they are coming out with my hair so I am afraid this is a result of the lupron too and I'll be half bald by the time I take the braids out. I can't wait until I am done with Lupron!
