Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Listed below are SOME of the adverse reactions/symptoms/diagnoses that have been reported and/or are associated with the use of Lupron. The adverse reactions/symptoms/diagnoses include those reported: a. in the package insert (*) which can be found in the book the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) in any library b. to the FDA (+) as part of the Spontaneous Reporting System/Division of Epidemiology and Surveillance (MedWatch Report Forms) c. in the medical literature (#). Only side effects/conditions that have been REPORTED to the FDA, or in the medical literature, or in the package insert are included in the list below. Side effects/conditions that have been ATTRIBUTED to Lupron but have NOT BEEN REPORTED are NOT INCLUDED.
If "#" is the ONLY symbol present, then the symptom/diagnosis was ONLY reported in the medical literature and was NOT reported to the FDA. Even though it is possible to report findings in the medical literature to the FDA this information was NEVER reported to the FDA.

I STARTED ON LUPRON ON TUESDAY. I AM NOT SURE HOW IT WELL EFFECT ME. I AM READING THAT IT ONLY HELPS YOU WHEN YOUR ON IT. THANKS FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS.
deleted_user
I found Lupron to be the best treatment so far, for the first time in years I was pain free. The only adverse effects I had were hot flushes and loss of apetite. We each react to different medications individually. But it is really useful to know what to expect by your info for those who are unaware of the risks. I hope it doesn't put people off using what could be a little reprieve from their pain as you have to use the information wisely. If you are put on Lupron and have any of these side effects that you didn't have before you should talk to your doctor before coming off of it.

Thank you for this post, I have copied it and saved it, I am getting ready to make my Lupron decision over the next couple of months and I am grateful for the information.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
