Is it me or the lupron?
Question:
I understand what you mean.. Lupron does some rather nasty things to your body, mind, and soul, and what it doesn’t do, the Endo does for it! You’re very frustrated; that’s obvious to see.. Lupron doesn’t seem to be helping you, but without it, you’re also not doing very well.. I did almost the exact same thing when I was undergoing the treatments.. After I had my oopherectomy, I had nightmares about my boyfreind leaving me too; I felt like less of a woman, and a horrible Mom to my son too.. But then, I felt even worse before the surgery.. It really bytes when you can’t achieve what you want most; to be well.. I think that’s where you are right now.. You’re normal, beleive me.. It’s just that you’re dealing with an unfair disease.. Please; keep in touch.. You can’t deal with all these frustrations alone, and even if you just want to vent, that’s perfectly fine! :o) Take care please; and know that you’re not alone, ok? Hugs to you; Sylvia

Thank you !!!!!!! I will see my doctor tuesday, I will keep you posted. Love Angie

Hi there, First of all, my heart goes out to you! I am on Lupron myself, but cannot hold a candle to what you are experiencing! Fortunately for me I have not had a bad experience with it. Thanks to some add-back from birth control pills. Have you tried BCP while on the lupron? Ask your doctor about it if you haven’t. Remember, you don’t have to go through with the full 6 months. It’s your body/sanity and you can quit any time! I can’t make it go away, but I sure am a good listener! Take Care and God Bless, Cher

The day i get the shot, Normaly about 6-9 hours after i get it i start to trip out it all comes on like a ton of briks, I get real moody and then i just turn into a Basketcase, I feel like my whole world is crashing down on me, Like no one cares, evryone is just out to get me, i start crying and i can’t stop and with the crying there is shaking, I get real scared and i dont even know just what i’am scared of. I have nighmeres from my boyfriend walking out to someone trying to hurt my kids, to someone comming in house to get me. [...] And yes i still get all bent out of shape the rest of the month, just somedays are better then others.
Tell your doctor, and ask for an antidepressant. I’ve heard good results from various kinds, mostly Effexor but some people can use Paxil. If you can’t get an antidepressant, try taking Vitamin B6, you can get that over the counter. =Tamar

2 things basically… first, *HUGS* and welcome from one Michigander to another…. and Second *HUGS and COMFORT* I’m sorry you are having such a rotten time with the medication. Have you considered stopping the therapy mid way though rather than continue? If you do not feel like it is worth it to be on the medication, why continue? I wish you much relief….have you tried to take B6 to try and level out the mood swings? I do not know if it can help with medically induced mood swings but I know it helps level out my PMS…. Best wishes… tricia

I know that Lupron can be tough but there are things that you can do to make it more bearable. Please make sure to let your doctor know what you are going through. As someone already mentioned, you are probably a great candidate for antidepressant therapy. How long ago were you diagnosed? For me, the combination of a recent diagnosis and the Lupron on top of it, made for some seriously crazy nights. I’m still not sure how much of the craziness was due to the fact that I was still coming to grips with the fact that I had a serious disease and how much of it was the drugs. Either way, I survived both and am doing fine. You will too. 
Hang in there! We’re here anytime you need us. Susan in Dallas – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello All, As you can see i’am taking Lupron, Well I will not say that no one should take the lupron, but i will say i wish i wasen’t. The day i get the shot, Normaly about 6-9 hours after i get it i start to trip out it all comes on like a ton of briks, I get real moody and then i just turn into a Basketcase, I feel like my whole world is crashing down on me, Like no one cares, evryone is just out to get me, i start crying and i can’t stop and with the crying there is shaking, I get real scared and i dont even know just what i’am scared of. I have nighmeres from my boyfriend walking out to someone trying to hurt my kids, to someone comming in house to get me. Last time i got the shot my mom told me not to call her on the days i get my shot becouse the way i trip out it makes her mad the things i say. i told my boyfriend that and he said he agrees. I will not do the lupron agen after this therapy is over. I would rather live with the pain that i still get anyway, than to put the people i love the most trough this agen. The hot flashes, Mood changes, waight gain, headache, Nausa, insomnia, Fitiuge, Musle pain, i just cant wait to be done with this lupron. I get so aggervated so easy. and to me the pain that i have is nothing compaired to the pain and aggervation that my loved ones have to deal with. when i trip out another thing that happens is the trip scares me so bad becouse i know what is happing and i can’t stop it i can not control it at all. its like PMS times ten. My kids don’t understand when i trip like that. i wish they could so the know i do love them it is just the medication. Thank god my mom and boyfriend know And yes i still get all bent out of shape the rest of the month, just somedays are better then others. All i can say to them is i’am sorry and sometimes that fells like its not enough. the other nighti was making tea in the kitchen and my boyfriend was standing there and i could see him looking at me i knew before but then i knew without a doubt that he loves me more than any man has before, i realised at that point that i owed him an appolagey, big time appolagey. I love them all so much i wish they were not affected by the lupron also but they are, and love me enough to deal with it. To evryone elce who it going through Lupron hang in there it will all be over soon. And just remember to appoligise to the ones you love, trust me they will forgive you. A. Savage Waterford Mi
