No you aren't alone. Depot Lupron is the worst. I was on it for 9
months and was miserable the whole time. I went from wanting to make
love to my boyfriend of 6 years all the time, to never wanting him to
touch me. The hot flahes, insomnia, mood swings, etc were just crazy.
And I still had the side affects 2 months afte my last shot. All that
misery just to be told that I had to have another laproscopy because the
endo and cysts didn't stop growing.
I will be 24 in June and have had 3 laproscopys in the last 3 years,
been on so many medications I can't remember, and the worst of all is I
don't even know who I am anymore.
