Hot flashes after Lupron: 7 months and counting
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (7)Comment receiving replies
I read somewhere that for Lupron one can expect recovery to happen after the same amount of time passes as was the period of time that it was used - for example, if one used Lupron for 6 mos, one can expect side effects to last for the next 6 mos after one stops using it. I do not know if that is true - just something I read somewhere.

I am at 13 months since my last 3-month Lupron shot and my very severe side effects have just started to abate. I had very severe headaches, muscle pain, joint pain, bone pain, continuous cold sweats and occasional hot sweats. These typically occurred 24 hours a day with no let up. l believe I would have died or killed myself if I had one more Lupron shot. My cardiologist felt that the Lupron was also harming my heart. I am 83, now have a 115 testosterone level, and PSA < 0.03 for last 6 months. Before treatment I had a 11.0 PSA, 3 ea. 3+3 and 1 ea. 4+4 Gleason measurements. Treatment was 44 radiation treatments and 4- months of Lupron.
