I was on this for 3 months (couldn't make it the 6 months) and had numerous problems.  Some people have little to no issues while others experience a lot.  Below is what happened to me.\n\n1. Continous migraine-like headaches.\n2. Dry heaves after eating anything.  It was very diffult to keep food down.  I lost 16 lbs in 3 months.\n3. This one's obvious - hot flashes and night sweats.\n4. Anxiety.  I felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin sometimes.\n5. Heart palpitations.\n6. I would get a fluttering that started near my heart and then expanded out just a few seconds before a hot flash.  It was really weird.\n7. Memory loss and difficulty concentrating.\n\nThese were the main issues I had.\n\nI was on this for endometriosis.  It stopped my periods but there was still some pain.  The side effects were so bad though that my doctor put me on hormones which caused the period to start back up!!!  Anyway, based on my experience I wouldn't recommend this as a first drug of choice.  There may be better options.\n\nThe other GnRH agonists similar to Lupron are Zolodex and Synarel.  Synarel is a nasal spray and Zolodex is a subcutaneous implant.  My doctor said that Zolodex is painful and he didn't recommend it.  Synarel may be a good option because if there are lots of problems you can stop taking it.  You can't squeeze out the injection if you have problems.\n\nGood luck.

Luvox can cause water retention, however it is one of the less common side effects. One thing to remember is that each person responds differently to each medication. You may experience little or no side effect while taking this medication. For a complete list of possible side effects from Luvox click this link:\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-1089-Luvox.aspx?drugid=1089&drugname=Luvox&pagenumber=6\n\nHope it helps. Good luck!

Have you been tested for lupus?

It depends on how much you are given. 1 injection usually takes about 2 hours to wear off. You may get some aching at the site of the injection. You may also drool a bit. I find a warm cloth helps reduce the swelling faster.

Look at the bottom of the screen when they show you the before and after shots.. It usually says Results will vary in small writing, sometimes more\nThey can't guarantee anything, especially if they say results will vary!

Depo can have this effect. Take another test by all means, but it could well just be the progesterone in the injection... it's quite a high dose. you might be better on the implant, as the release rate is lower.

I had the knee injections last year and at first I was ecstatic.  I could walk without pain for the first time in years.  It lasted for a few months but then the pain came back.  I am going back in for an exam again and determine whether to go with the injection for the third time or see what other alternative there is.

SLE  Systemic Lupus Erythmatoues.  You should be more specific for those who dont know the abbreviation.  I have that.  I will tell you one thing I didnt not seek treatment.  When I have flare ups I take a steroid for ten days and Ultracet for pain.  Ultracet has zero narcotics  but works better than vicodin and darvocet...  I refused the immunesuppressor.  I work in the health field and didnt want to get every virus out there.  I excerise regularly and I drink lots of water.  I think it is all in how you think.  Be positive.  Dont get me wrong when I am having a flare up I feel like an 80 yr old woman.  Good luck with your treatment....

I had five injections also  I had a lump around the injection site, and after the fifth one, I got a fever.  I know guys that were really sick after the injections.  But none of them that I know have had any symptoms solong after the injections.  I'd go see a doctor if I was you.

I was on Loestrin 24 for 1 month and I had to switch cause of too much bleeding. Now I am on ortho Tri cyclen and I haven't had no problems with them. And the good thing about it with orth tri cylen you'll always know when your period is gonna come on. So good luck with them because I love them.

Answer depends on: 1.What is the reason for the urine testing? 2.What medication you are taking? 3.What was the appointment for?

Hi I knowI am not a woman but my wife has had it.  She was dealing with it ever since she first started her period but did nto knwo it and was put on the pill to control it.  When we got married it intensified and got ten times worse, sex was out fo the question, rough honeymoon.  Anyway she did the Lupron and it did the same to her as it seems to have to you, nothing.  She was a wreck and it still was there.  She did surgery and it helped for about 2 months.  HErs was stage 4.  The doc was offereing a hystorectomy but we ha just married and wanted kids but not now.  She found a chiropracter that practiced applied kiniseology.  It was kinda crazy but it worked.  She had her on all these "potions" to support her body and did alot fo work with her more emotional than physical.  Not sure what happened or how it worked but she has been Endo free for 8 yrs, zero pain.  Still struggling with the weight gain but now we can blame it on two wonderful kids.  Find a doc in your area that practices applied kinesiology, usually a chiropractor.  Sounds crazy I know but it worked a miracle for us.  All the pointion and tinctures and emotioanl counseling she did for my wife was on top of the world when it was over.

Good grief, I just answered this about 4 minutes ago. Shots themselves do not damage the area of injection. It is the material that is being injected that causes the damage. Ordinary medications, innoculations, etc. given by a Doctor do not cause damage. Street drugs such as heroine, cause irreversible damage to the sight of injection. That is why IV drug users have track marks. Look at diabetics. They give themselves injections daily with no damage or signs that they have injected anything. If you are so worried and want such hard evidence perhaps you should talk to your doctor or some health care professional.

ok first are you peeing blood?second did they give you anti-biotics to prevent infection? when i had mine put in they gave me anti-biotics to prevent infection and they also set me up with a follow up appointment 3-4 weeks later.some of what your saying does sound normal.i bleed for a few days after i had mine put in and i had cramping.from my experience i would say dont worry unless if you are in so much pain you cant take it.the thing is there is something new in your body and it will take some time for your body to adjust it.i had mine done in june of this year and im just starting to get used to it.so give it some time and make a follow up appointment.

actually, to woidaj, depo-provera and depo-lupron are two different things: one is used exclusively to stop your period for coming, often good for sufferers of endometriosis, and depo-provera is a form of birth control, a shot that protects women from pregnancy for 3 months, for some women it protects them a little while after their shot is due, and after a few injections of it, it stops your period for most women, but not all (80 percent stop menstruating after their third shot). But to answer the asker's question, you should wait another month, b/c depo-lupron's effects may last 3 months after last insert. Also, if you are really concerned, you could also ask your doctor to give you this prescription called Provera, it's a pill that makes your period come, and if it does not come when taking Provera as prescribed, then it'll show something is not right.
