I took Lupron several years ago after having a laparoscopy for endometriosis. I had headaches- night sweats - hot flashes - bone pain - and SEVERE depression. After I had a doctor wanting to test my bone density because they thought I had lost alot with this drug - I started reading up on it and stopped taking it altogether. To think that ME (22 at the time) lost bone mass!!!! I should be worrying about this in my later years--not as a 20 year old! This stupid drug also had a huge hand in my divorce after 3 months on this drug. I was thrown into a depression so severe, I couldn't control it at all. I recently found out through my state's attorney general's office that they won a settlement with Lupron for overpricing the drug - why isn't anything being done on the SAFETY of this drug? I worry that for the time I was on this - I need to be concerned with cancer... it did nothing but cause me pain and misery - and didn't help the problem!
