Dear Joanne, I was on lupron fro 6 months in 1992. It was the worst thing
that I have used to control the endo. I would not fall asleep until 5:00
am. I was single and childless at the time thank God. I know how you feel.

> Hi, I have startd lupron aout two weeks ago. So far I have experienced
increased pain wich is normal in the biggining however, I have had two
episodes of insomnia the second one was just last night I was so tired about
11pm and felt myself start to fall asleep I then woke up within minuets and
was unable to sleep until 2:30am after taking allergy pills that make me
sleepy and that helped. I only sleept 3 hours and I am a single parent of a
5 year old daughter and can't afford not to be alert during the day for her
sake.please reply back to me I am so afraid of what the lupron has done to
me so far I think i also experienced my first hot flash last night. This
morning i am a MESS AND ALL I FEEL LIKE DOING IS CRYING. WHAT DID YOU DO
FOR THE INSOMNIA IS THERE ANY ADVICE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH. i NEED ALL THE
SUPPORT I CAN GET I FEEL LIKE I AM SLIPPING INTO A DEPRESSION THAT I AM
UNABLE TO STOP!!!
