Lupron Depot: Weakness and instability side effects
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Sep 20 8:50am | Replies (30)Comment receiving replies
I was on lupron for 13 months ( recently taken off and being checked every 3 months) and since taking lupron I have fallen several times while walking and had several occasions of stumbling and recovering but not falling. My recent fall was pretty bad. I have now upped the quality of my walking shoes and I am paying more attention to walking and not falling. However, I am thinking that this new problem may not be related to my 75 years but perhaps the lupron and ADT. If I don’t get better I may just use the exercise bike etc and limit my walking. Any suggestions?

3 weeks on lupron and 2 weeks radiation-very little side effect thus far...am 77 & walk 4 miles...some light weight action at home...I hate gyms and dont see how a threadmill would help instability problems unless you are walking on some uneven terrain...IF you do not mind the gym scene...do it or whatever works for you BUT do not give up on the workout/walks...I think part of the Lupron ADT deal is a emotional tendancy (sleepiness) to not workout...In my case my body needs it AND watch your carb intake/late night snacking. God Bless. edk
