26year old married female receiveing lupron injections once a month to treat endometriosis. I am due for my third shot next week. The side effects in the first month were minimal with the exception of my taste buds. I cannot stand to eat anything that looks like, tastes like, or smells like chicken or beef. I am only eating cheese and bread. I can deal with hot flashes. Second month - UNBELIEVABLE SIDE EFFECTS!!! *New found love for chocolate (I never liked it before). *Still screwed up taste buds. I am SOOO hungry all the time. *Severe constipation, which has led to rectal bleeding. *Once a day hot flashes have turned into an hourly thing. *I get up in the morning drenched with sweat - yet freezing cold. *SEVERE DEPRESSION!!! I am normally a very friendly person. Now I hate everyone and everything. *Crying all the time. *Attempted suicide for no apparrent reason 3 days after 2nd shot. *Loss of interest in things I once enjoyed. *Insomnia. I can't sleep, yet I have no energy. *Very moody. *Muscular and joint pain. *Memory loss. *My equilibrium is off. Constantly walking into walls and such. *Paranoid and scared all the time. *Weight gain. *Blurred/double vision. *Headaches. I want the endometriosis to go away and I want to be able to get pregnant (been trying for 6 years). But I don't know if I can deal with these side effects anymore!!
