Hello RWARNOLD. I'm not certain if I can answer your question. So, the best I might suggest is that, on top of this page, besides the words Drugs.com, is a search engine. Just enter the word Lupron. it will take you to that page, scroll down and you'll see side effects. Click on that and you'll see a vast array, of possibilities, different, side effects. Hope that you find it to be of some help. I do hope that all goes well for you. best wishes.
