@philnob I am wondering the same about weight gain. I started Lupron a couple weeks ago. Within a week noticed weight increase of 3-4 pounds. Now watching diet and exercise carefully, but wondering what to expect.

I have been on Lupron for18 months really not affected too much by weight gain. My issues have been fatigue, hot sweats then cold, and sore joints.

I haven’t been on Lupron for quite some time, but the weight gain continues to be a problem. I was able to lose 7 lbs. while dieting, but the weight gain around the waist doesn’t change. I plan to increase my exercise routine to see if it will help.

I had only 1 Lupron shot but I had no weight gain.. .. at my 6 month check-up the doc decided I did not need a second shot and said the effects of the 1 shot were still working some in my system... Ken
