I was prescribed Lupron after a laparoscopy to diagnose endo between my freshman and sophore years in college. I was never told of any psychological side effects, even though the first page of my chart has a lot of info about my history of depression and anxiety. In addition to the night sweats and hot flashes, the depressive side effects were so bad that I dropped out of college (I was a stright-A student the year before.) It took me 2 1/2 years to get back to school, and I'll be paying off the $12,000 for a semester that I spent almost completely in bed. I'm a nursing student planning to work in women's health care, and will advise any of my patients to seriously research this medication before listening to their doctor. My pain never did go away while on the medication and was actually worse later and caused me to go back in for surgery.
