Hi Meredith, The first month is gonna totally suck. Your body is kinda freaking out. Some people start to feel better after the crazy time, other's like me do not. It is totally individual. Each person reacts differently. I lasted for two months going on my third before I backed out. The add/back really helped with most the side effects but did nothing for the continued pain for me I feel is due to adhesions. Here is the link for the pharmacutical company that makes lupron.

It could help to answer some questions regarding Lupron.This situation we are in is depressing. To suffer without a cure is very frustrating and it does effect all aspects of our lives. For some Lupron seems to make depression worse, sometimes I wonder if in part it is just the situation we are in. Meaning we are hoping for help with this drug, dealing with the nasty side effects for what feels like no avail.

Reading through some of the older posts may also help in seeing what other's have done to help themselves and the different reactions to this specific drug. Best of luck and hope to you!
