The Lupron Debate
Saturday July 8, 2006
Lupron Depot (leuprolide acetate for depot suspension) is a GnRH agonist -- a hormone that works in two distinct phases. Lupron is often used to treat endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas otherwise known as uterine fibroid tumors.

I took Lupron 4 years ago and I continue to have memory problems on a daily basis. THINK about this if you are thinking about using this drug. It is so frustrating to realize you used to be more intelligent than you currently are – and it may never get any better.
I finished my Lupron in September. I hope to one day start remembering the little things in life again. Not to mention words. I feel so stupid talking to people because I forget the simplest words!
I took Lupron in 1997 I believe, everyday I am still suffering from the adverse side effects of this drug. It destroyed my body, it destroyed my health. I have problems and pain everywhere, I contribute it to this drug.
My fiance took Lupron prior to a proceedure call an ablation. She subsequently fell into depression due to the side effects and was put on Effexor. The combination of Lupron and Effexor destroyed our relationship. Eight weeks of hell trying to save a 7 year relationship. I don’t think we will ever come out of this as a couple.
