help with zoladex / lupron

i had my first injection 17 days ago and i,v been having headaches and nausea and feel awful. has anyone had experience of this treatment and do these side effects last???????

Jenren,

I had the same side effects and they lasted as long as I was on the shot. When I stopped the shot they stopped.

You may want to call your doctor and see if there is something they can give you.

Hi Jenren,

I did (3) months of lupron shots prior to my LSH.

I have to agree 100% with Mrs. Doolittle. My lupron side effects lasted as long as I was on the shots also. I also had hot flashes and night sweats since lupron causes temporary chemical menopause.

You might ask your Dr. about ~add-back therapy~. From what I understand, it can re-introduce hormones into your system and maybe help with the side effects.

Best wishes and hang in there!!!

Check with your dr. When I got my shot of lupron, the doc said that if I had symptoms that were just unbearable that she could give me a booster shot of estrogen as I recall. My symptoms were milder than yours, mostly very foggy thinking. Good luck.

Hello,
I have had two shots so far next week my third...
Yes after my first shot I felt nausea.. actually I wound up with blotches on my face .. Headaches definitely my doctor gave me Loratab pain killers.. they work.. of coarse...
But I have to tell you , I am feeling like I do not want to go and get my third shot beacuse this past week my eyes have been puffy when I wake up and lines came out of no where I am 33 years old and I did not have lines under my eyes before not sure if it is coincidence but my eyes getting puffy and a rash on my face is uncomfortable I called my doctor he said it was okay just another side effect possiblly getting to much estrogen but wants me to continue .. the 6 months.. it is a hard treatment sometime I feel like I am out of it .. and I sleep a lot... thats been my experiences.. hope this helped.. good luck..
