I have been taking the lupron shot for 9 months now the great part of it no more pain from periods and no more periods. but the concrning part hot flashes when I sleep and weight gain. and I have noticed memory loss.I feel slow somtimes talking to people and its like why can't I get my words out.So in a dilema should I stop taking it or not.I am 41 and have enjoyed some effects of it but have the side effects too.So am lost in what I should do.
