257 ceciliawakefieldTXUSSince first started taking injections of Lupron Depot two years ago I have had nothing but pain,numbness,tingling, severe neck pain.and a number of problems that fail to go away.I took these injections for 5 months and decided not to take the last one for my sixth month because of all the problems I started having only a couple of weeks after starting them.After reading all the other peoples side affects,I've become terrified of what is going to happen to my body.I have three children and am not able to do the things I used to do with them before I had taken these awful injections.I was always nieve and thought that if these drugs were approved then they're safe.Well apparently not!Something has got to be done!
258 ValenciaAidenVAUSI was given the Lupron shot in November of 2004 for 3 small fibroid tumors and every since that happened, I am having problems with weight control. My weight dropped from 141 pounds( size 8) to 104. Muscle and joint pains, depression, anxiety, IBS, and problems in my central nervous system. I now have fibromyalgia. I am now being treated for all these problems. When I switched Gyn doctor and went to another, I was told that it was the shot but once my cycle started back again four months later then I was told it must not be the shot because the medicine is out of my system. I totally disagree. I am still suffering.
259 AnonymousAnonymousCAUSI suffer with endometriosis. I have heard so many horror stories about this drug and now I'm being given this as my option for treatment. I need to know the facts!

261 MandyHaydenMDUSAge 27 suffering from side effects caused by Lupron injections that stopped over 1 year ago, the worst of which being memory loss and insomnia.
262 AnonymousAnonymousAZUSI took this drug as a treat ment for fibroids. It has completely altered the course of my life. It has taken me over 18 months to deal with the domino effects from this drug. Women need to be warned. I was told by my gyn my expereiences were limited to a very smal percentage of women - that may be what the manufacturer is saying, not what the users are saying. Please, someoneinvestigate this drug.
263 KarenCrossINUStook before surgery and have read negative things. still having problems with muscle and joint pain
264 AnonymousAnonymousARUSI have taken Lupron for 3 months.
265 AnonymousAnonymousSDUSI was a guinea pig for Lupron from 1988 to 1995. I was diagnosed with central precocious puberty at age 4 and took treatment until I was 12 years old. I am now 23 years old and have not had any major side effects. I think I have more body hair and occassional acne than I think I should but other than that I dont have anything to complain.

271 LisaCrockettMTUSI suffered from migraines headaches for years. My OB/GYN put me on Lupron for over 2 years. My life and health went from bad to devastating. I thought I was helping myself. I became agitated, anxious, depressed,developed numerous emotional needs. I stopped the medication for 12 months and began again for another 18 months. I was not aware that this medicine was not approved for treatment of migraines. I was naive and paid a great price for my health.I am now on disability and will not work fulltime again. More information needs to be obtained. My children paid the highest price of losing their mother to unexplained health issues.

273 DimitraPascalFRLupron has destroyed so many lives. Take it off the market!
274 LiviaBallaFRLupron is called Enantone in many european country. Don't take it! Toxicity and health risks have to be studied and made public. The pharmacovigilance agencies who already have so many reports and don't do anything are responsible for every new victim!

276 AnonymousAnonymousCAUSI've had 2 Lurpon inejctions due to Endometriosis. However, I would prefer to bleed heavy than to experience lo back pain, insomnia, severe neck and shoulder pain and weakness. What is wrong witt our caregivers, our OB-Gyns that would recommend such treatment without discussing the severity of side effects. Help! we are powerful in numbers!
277 WendyMarkCAUSlupron shots destroyed my life. my mind is gone and i'm constantly tired.
278 AnonymousAnonymousNJUSMy life was drastically altered - OK, ruined - by this poison. It's been 8 years since I've taken it and I'm on disability from it.

280 ShirleyCardonaPRMy daughter was recently diagnosed with Precocious Puberty. I was told that Depot Lupron injections would be the treatment. I was concerned about any possible side effects and long terms effects when I went to see her doctor. I was not informed of any. However, I decided to do some of my own research and am really alarmed at all that I have read. I have already decided this treatment will not be an option for my daughter, and I am looking into what other alternative she may have. I therefore agree that further investigation and publication of that investigation is needed. Patients must be informed of the risks they are taking and parents of children have a right to have all of the information in order to make the best choice for their child.
281 AnonymousAnonymousMIUSwas not adequetly warned of the side effects..and was not really given a choice to take or not..bad fda,bad doctor,bad drug,remove it , sue the bastards, somepeoples lives are ruined, cure worse than the problem..tested on ferrets and rats..WERE HUMANS.you fools, lets get it right before we put it in our bodys. off the market! NOW!
282 carlbumbaloughTNUSin 1998 I had prostate cancer, the doctor gave me a lupron injection. which stopped the male activity. it is now feb 25, 2007 and I found out on my own that one of the side effects of lupron injections, is that it stopps the body from producing the natural protien which make up the carthlage in the human joints. once you take this dangerious drug, and the body doesn't produce the protien enzime, the body starts to feed off the carthlage,in the body joints I know because one of my cancer doctors ask me in 2002 did you have a lupron injection during your prostate cancer treatment,I told him I did, and asked him why he had ask that, he then began to tell me that the body has to have protein tfor healthy joints, and that was why my joints were desolving like they were, I am now 54 years old, I can no longer do many phisical things that I used to do, some times I can barely walk around the house if I have very sever joint pain all the time now, I had went to ST.Thomas orthopidic alliance clinic in nashville Tenn. two years age,a DR milik checked out my systems, he said my joints were being desolved, it is now in me elbows,hands,shoulders,back knees,and ankles. The droctor that gave me this drug never told me anything like this would happen, now all I can doo is take pain medication,3 times a day, which does not stop the pain or even ease it off, I changed jobs twice to try to fine something, I could still work at but it is getting to the point where I am going to have to apply for my disability. my hands,ankles,knees,and elbows swell every day now I have large knots forming on me fingers it the joint sights,where the bones are rubbing bone to bone,because the carthlage has desolved. my doctor never said that this could evey hsppen. signed Carl B.

The side effects I am having are lower back pain and my knees,ankles and elbows swell up , my breasts swell several pain in my left breast And depression and last I am having hot&cool flashes . I need help on how to get better, and would love to see the (FDA) recall the Lupron Depot it is unsafe and I wish I would of never had taken the Lupron if I know what I know now about the drug. I now have to have a Bone Density Test done ,I have to have an Ultasound done on my breast . The lupron depot nearly ruined my life. My back went out in 2004 I had bulging disc and was out of work for over 6months, And I was just trying to get help for my Endometriosis. I feel all the peopel that are responsible for approving the drug on the market need to giving the drug and see how t hay feel.nenelovesfrog@yahoo.com
285 LynetteHenkFLUSI am disabled based on symptoms I had after taking a 6 month regimin of Lupron shots to treat endometriosis. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic migraines. The bone pain in my legs is the worst and most disabling. I have bone pain in wrists, shoulders, elbow, feet. I had none of these symptoms prior to this treatment. I suffered with many symptoms during my treatment but was told this was normal. I have not been able to work since 2005 and I had to cut back to a part time work schedule after the lupron and until I was totally disabled. Please check into this before more women suffer needlessly. I am 41 and also already diagnosed with osteopenia.
286 ChristinaTeschnerORUSI too have had the Lupron injection. I recieved a three month doseage in January of 02 for what the Dr. believed was endo. Unfortunatley they did not test me for pregnancy and unknowenly to me I was infact pregnant after 2 years of trying. My son was born with Cerebral Palsey but only suffers from a mild case of it now at age 5. I on the other hand have developed some seriouse problems since then but am unsure if they are related to Lupron. I have had numerouse surgeries for female problems which led to a hysterectomy in 03 which they learned I did NOT even have endo in the first place...I had cervical cancer. I have had a heart attack since then, rapid heart rate, I am deeply depressed usually, I have been sick off and on for the last 5 years constantly. I am constantly tired always with little or no energy to do daily activities. I have lesions on my liver and I am now getting ready to be tested for Lupus because my joints in my knees, elbows, fingers, hands etc...are always stiff or painful to the point I sometimes am unfunctional. For the last five days ive been unable to eat anything other then applesauce and pudding due to extreme joint pain in my jaw. My Dr. can come up with no reason why I feel the way I do...and is leaning towards "mental depression" is causing me to feel this way. I know this is not the reason why im sick...but its so hard to get another Dr to go against his fellow Dr. They can not convince me this is in my head because I know depression does not keep you from being able to walk.
287 JudyHallKYUSI was told In June 2005 I have a fibroid the size of a med.egg and that lupron depot was the best way to go for treatment.I took the doc's advice started treatment June 2005 got my last shot in Nov 2005.In that six months time I stoped going to the doc. who started me on the shots and found another doctor.Thought she might be able to help with all the side effects I was having boy was I wrong.As
288 LoriBennettILUSSince taking Lupron for endometriosis, as I recd the injections I started having terrible body aches and pains, headaches and the doctor spoke to someone at Tapps and they say shouldnt last more than three months after last injections....over a year later still having major problems that nobody knows why....well I know why

290 SarahBiggsTXUSThis drug sounds like it's straight from HELL!
291 TracyRogersFLUSI had Lupron shots for 6 months almost 5 years ago and still suffer from the side effects and endometriosis. It is hell and has damaged, my life, personal, work, and romatic life. I have not been the same. This was the worst mistake I made. I trusted my doctor and was told the side effects were temporary. Not true at all. And the doctors have the never to want be to do a second round. NEVER...
292 AnonymousAnonymousCAi don't know who invented lupron? I had lupron injected a month before my fibroid surgery. on the surgery date, my surgery was cancelled because my blood presure went high. my blood presure was not that high before the lupron was injected to my body. i was 149 over 85, but now is over 200 over 125. my docter is wait the blood presure to go dawn before she can rebook my surgery day. lupron gave me alot of sickness symptom that i can't conuted. i don't recommend anyone to use that toxin drug.
293 NaishaScottAZUSWE NEED TO GET A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT GOING ASAP . THEY HAVE A LUPRON CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ON HOW MUCH MONEY THE CONSUMERS WERE OVER BILLED ON THE PRICE THEY PAID FOR THE LUPRON . WE OUR THE ONE THAT NEED TO GET PAID IT WILL NEVER TAKE THE PAIN AWAY I HAVE EVERYDAY FROM TAKE THE LUPRON DEPO. YOU CAN READ ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT ON www.lupronclaims.com IT IS NOT RIGHT PEOPLE WE NEED HELP SO NO ONE ELSE WILL FEEL THE PAIN WE FEEL EVERYDAY .
294 MalindaLeeKSUSThe side effects if this drug are potentionally disabling and every woman deserves the right to be treated by medical professionals who are well informed. Doctor's don't even record patient complaints regarding this. If this is standard practice throughout the medical community it is time for some new rules.
295 PATTYHODGESMDUSTAKING THIS DRUG WAS THE WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. HAVING SEVERE MUSCLE PAIN-WEAKNESS AND MEMORY PROBLEMS
