Anon,
I am sorry to hear you are having some troubles. I can't answer your
questions but wanted to reply and give you a web address to take a look
at, if you haven't already. http://www.lupron.com or
http://www.luprondepot.com (not sure if you need the "depot" part there
or not). I have been there to read on Lupron since my GYN recently
started me on it for SUSPECTED microscopic endometriosis. Best Wishes.
