I see Lupron as a necessary evil. I am waiting for surgery in 2 weeks and Lupron has stopped me from menstruating which is a good thing. That is about the only good thing about Lupron. I haven't gained the weight people are talking about but am working out a lot. My symptoms are some night sweats but the dizziness, increased blood pressure and blood sugar and general achiness are the worst part of it. I also get headaches that come and go more after an injection; I have had three - one each month. Thankfully, I had my last one this week. This drug causes your body to try to speed up since it is depressing some of its functions which apparently is the cause of the high blood pressure. If there are any possible alternatives, I would go with that rather than lupron. I have run out of other medical options so only had Lupron until my hysterectomy.
