Re: Anyone Had Positive Experience With Lupron ?From: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Nov 14 05:43:51 2003
Sonia, I did Lupron a couple years ago for my endo. I had a good experience on it. Had some side effects like hot flashes and night sweats, and a handful of bad mood swings. I found most of these side effects more annoying than anything. They did not keep me from functioning. The worst part was a pretty much complete loss of sex drive while I was on it. It returned to normal though when I stopped the shots. I did 9 months of lupron, the last 3 with add back therapy. I went beyond the normal 6 months so I could get through my wedding without pain and endo issues. When I took the add back, all side effects except sex drive went away. I also found that the first 24 hours after the shot were rough. I would usually get a bad headache and be nauseous. I just planned the shots for Friday afternoons so I had a weekend to rest. I have a friend at work doing Lupron now and the shots have not made her feel bad at all, so it seems to effect everyone differently. For me, it was a last resort, and something it took me two years to decide to do. I don't regret doing it and would do it again. I was pain free the entire time I was on the shots and stayed pretty much pain free for a year following. Now of course the endo is back and I am seriously considering total hysto next year because I am sick of temporary fixes. Hope this helps a little! Just do your research and make a decision for YOU. Everyone will react differently. Feel free to email me direct if you want to talk further. Hugs! Amy Meyer
