Anybody here had treatment with lupron?
If so, what was your experience?
Re: Anybody here had treatment with lupron?
It was the most god awful thing ever, and even after I stopped the effects took nearly a year to go away.
But some people are fine.
If you have any history of depression, dont do it, you will get depressed and its soooooo hard to get the anti depressant medications to help.
Its really a useless drug as it only takes away the pain for 6 months and does NOTHING to improve your endo.
try this site for other options
CEC Centerforendometriosiscare....I forget if its org or com Google it also google Dr Redwine for articles....way better options out there
Lupron is just poisen.
I don't have endometriosis -- I have fibroids and I only found out this past week that's what the cause of my problem is.
There's probably a way to shrink them holistically. I've been looking into that.
I'm on it right now... It's certainly not the most fun medication to take but compared to constant spotting and everyday pain from my endo, I will take the hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings etc.
I was diagnosed with Endo in 2007 with a laparoscopy and my dr recommended starting Lupron right away. Well I read the side effects and decided that being menopausal at age 22 while in PA school was not a good idea so I cont BC pills instead. I ended up having heavy spotting and constant pain for about 11 months straight before I finally gave in and started the Lupron. The pain and bleeding initially got worse then better within about a month. It has been the only medicine that has stopped my spotting and the pain is now about a 2-3/10 instead of about a 6. It has helped me at least be able to stand intercourse where before we could only do it with the lights off so DH wouldn't be able to see the faces that I was making..
Sorry for the long reponse but if you have any more questions I can tell you lots about Lupron, both good and bad.
