HI!
I've been on Depot Lupron for 5 months. I have had the same experience
as you: crying a lot, easily upset, very moody, sometimes very happy
then very sad.
I actually have an appt. with my dr. next week to discuss this side
effect. It seems like after 6-8 weeks, however, I feel better. But
then, I get my next 3 month injection and the cycle starts all over
again!
Talk to you dr so they can help out and you won't have to suffer.
