Lupron Users,

Please read your package inserts that come with your medications and if you notice ANY symptoms that are NEW or TROUBLING then you really do need to contact your doctor about it. (IF you are not getting the inserts then ask for them - you SHOULD be getting them)

The manufacturer's website also has very good information about the side-effects of Lupron.

It is no secret that anxiety and depression are quite common side-effects of Lupron - there are safe anti-anxiety and anti-depressants that can be taken with the Lupron to decrease the trouble the side-effects can cause you.

#1 Depression and anxiety can make your symptoms worse! Do not ignore these symptoms - speak with your doctor.

#2 You will not become addicted to the anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication.

#3 This is probably not a PERMANENT condition and when your treatment is completed you will notice a decrease in your anxiety and depression and be able to discontinue the medication.

#4 IF by chance your anxiety and/or depression lingers you can continue to treat as needed.

Don't suffer needlessly and don't force your friends and family to suffer needlessly too - talk to your doctor today.

best wishes
