I am 26 & have done the lupron twice--the FIRST time was SO horrible for
me that my friends & family BEGGED me not to do it the second time. I
road it out the first time, because I was at my wits end with "cures" &
yes my doc suggested a low-dosage anti-depressant to help me through it.
The second round was a piece of cake. Your daughter needs a new doctor
& FAST!!! ANY good doctor knows how hard this is to go through. She is
literally having her body thrown into menopause--she is freaking out
internally & someone needs to help her--poor thing!! tell her all my
best!!!
