Hi, I have been on Lupron for just over a year, with the only side
effect being hot flashes. I have only gained about 5lbs. in the year I
have been on it. No hair lose, and it actually settled my mood swings
down. I feel alive, and normal on Lupron. But I would research and get
other opinions on it before deciding for yourself. Others on this forum
have had terrible luck with it. Lots of Luck, and I pray for painfree
days for all of us!
