It worked as far as symptoms because I was in a suedo-menopause for about 9 months. However the side-effects were terrible. (night sweats, hot flashes, memory loss, bone loss, loss of concentration, personality change.) Would not use it again. I had one injection per month for 6 months.

Had about a years relief from symptoms even after completion of the two 3mos shots. Hot flashes were horrible some mood swings one incident of break thru bleeding but was definitely worth it. Gyn is currently battling with ins co to get 2nd round covered almost 4yrs later.

I have been on Lupron for almost a year now. The first six months I did just straight Lupron but since then I've had to do some add back hormone therapy so my bones don't get too brittle. This has worked wonders for my endometriosis and I'm going to stay on it as long as I can -- it's completely worth the side effects.
