I was on Lupron for 5 months with horrible side effects from sleep
disturbances, nausea, headaches, abdominal pain, severe hot flashes and
bone pain. Bone pain is a side effect of Lupron due to the lack of
estrogen, actually most of the literature that I have scene recommends
that estrogen add back is a must. You may want to talk to your doctor
about this. Oh, and it takes about 6 months once your done with your
last shot for you to truely feel good or like yourself again. I will
never ever use this drug again.
