Lupron Reviews

Working / Worked
At first was the worst thing ever! Had horrible hot flashes night sweats dizziness gained weight but once I went in for my fourth shot... I started noticing that I was feeling great!!! I could even exercise with very little pain. Unfortunally that didnt last long my insurance was canceled so couldnt keep up with the treatment. You do suffer while on this treatment but at the end it was worth the days with no pain with energy and best of all being able to exercise!

So far it is working and no side effects so far either.

They had me do Lupron overlapping BCP at the beginning of my cycle, then continuing to delay ovulation until Ovidrel injection.

Side effects are unpleasant but I think its really helping.

On top of having endo I have really cystic ovaries and started the Lupron shot 3 months after surgery to help calm down the pain. Im only 12 way through my second of my 6 shots and I seem to be doing well so far Few side effects and the pain is no where near the level it was before I started.
