I have had 5 out of 6 lupron shots so far. The first 2 made my endo pain worse, the third seemed to clear everything up and i felt great. The 4th caused back pain, fever, chills. The 5th caused SEVERE back pain ( i couldnt even sit), fever, chills and a rash on my back...one more to go! The side effects i had were mild to moderate hot flashes, pretty bad night sweats, constant crying, moody, m ... Show Full Comment

The 5th caused SEVERE back pain ( i couldnt even sit), fever, chills and a rash on my back...one more to go! The side effects i had were mild to moderate hot flashes, pretty bad night sweats, constant crying, moody, mild acne, and the worst of all in my opinion severe hair loss! Although i would do it again if i had to because the pain i was in for months is gone. Hope this helps.

I HAD BEEN IN A LOT OF PAIN FOR A WHILE. THE SHOT ITSELF TOOK AWAY A LOT OF THE PAIN BUT THE SIDE EFFECT NOT SO GOOD. SWEATING LIKE U WOULD NOT BELIEVE, HOT FLASHES, NIGHT SWEATS, NO APPITE, AND NO SEX DRIVE. IF UR N A LOT OF PAIN, N MY EYES WHATEVER WILL HELP I WILL DO. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN OF MY OWN AND 3 STEP CHILDREN SO I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR PAIN.

think it over carefully. this shot made me so sick that my severe endometriosis and fibroids are easier to live with (at least for now, 5 months post-operative) than the side effects. i took it for a few months and didn't finish the cycle. couldn't sleep, hot flashes ALL THE TIME. sounds like no big deal but it was wretched. hopefully it helps some, but be careful deciding to do it. ...

NEVER NEVER again. a thoroughly horrible experience.

I was on lupron for six months. Only side effect was hot flashes, which were SO much easier to deal with than the previous debilitating pain. My periods completely stopped. I loved it, loved it, loved it!

I had stage IV endometriosis and 16 fibroid cysts, one of which was cancerous. My Dr. placed me on this drug to sustain and stop the endometriosis by putting me into menopause. My Doctor was very clear on the side affects. However; after 6 months of being on this shot, the endometriosis came back. Other risks are possible now, but I would have to get a radical hysterectomy at 35. I would like to h ... Show Full Comment

I had stage IV endometriosis and 16 fibroid cysts, one of which was cancerous. My Dr. placed me on this drug to sustain and stop the endometriosis by putting me into menopause. My Doctor was very clear on the side affects. However; after 6 months of being on this shot, the endometriosis came back. Other risks are possible now, but I would have to get a radical hysterectomy at 35. I would like to have children and this is the only way. The hot flashes and night sweats are more within the fist few days after the shot and then a few days before the shot. It did discontinue the cancerous cyst from coming back, so it is a 50/50 feeling. I hope this may help someone.
