Lupron

Have you taken it? Did it help with your symptoms? And how bad were the side effects? Also did they give you another medication to help with the side effects?

I took it for 6 month....I would rather die of pain than take it again. Made me totally insane!

ruh roh. I don't know what else to do. I'm in so much pain every day of my life. I can barely function anymore.

I take it to suppress my ovaries for embryo transfers. I luckily do not get any side effects from it. What are you taking it for?

Quoting Amelia Margaret:" I take it to suppress my ovaries for embryo transfers. I luckily do not get any side effects from it. What are you taking it for?"

Endometriosis. I've had 2 laps and have been on BC for 6 years. Nothing helps. Except maybe Percocet and 800 of ibuprofen...but I can't work while taking percs and I don't want to become tolerant to Ibuprofen since it's the only thing that works for my migraines.

Ugh that sounds awful.   Is it something that can be "cured" with a hysterectomy once you've completed your family?

Yes I think so. Although I'm 23 childless and boyfriendless. So it would be awhile. I'd seriously love to have a sperm donor right now to have my child and be done with being a female.

I take lupron monthly for ovarian cysts.... putting me into monopause with the menopause with the lupron is supposed to help but I still have cysts.

I am so sorry you are suffering. I shouldn't have said this so harshly. All I can say it was a personal nightmare for me and I would not be able to handle it again.
It might be different for you. I never had anxiety attacks before and with the Lupron it got so bad that my husband and I occasionally thought I needed to check into a hospital. Thankfully 6 months after the last shot I started feeling better again. I am truly sorry.

It's ok you didn't know  . I already have really bad panic attacks so I hope it doesn't make it worse. I'm going to try acupuncture first though
