leuprolide for Precocious Puberty: My daughter has been on Lupron for 2 1/2 years now, she started at age 4. We have had success in stopping the symptoms of puberty. The side effects that we have encountered which have now stopped are the hot flashes and eating cravings and binges. We do have to continue with the injection every three weeks, but up to this point it has been well worth it. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Lupron Depot-PED (leuprolide) for Precocious Puberty: My 8 year old daughter has been diagnosed with precocious puberty. While being proactive about the whole issue of stunted growth and and early menses etc., We (my husband and I) were in the process of setting up an appointment to have her initial injection of the drug, lupron depot-PED and guess what?...she started her first menstrual cycle. We still went ahead with the treatment as planned. We are three treatments into the whole plan and things are going well but there is a side effect that has lingered hot flushes that are still waking her up during the night. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful.

Lupron Depot-PED (leuprolide) for Precocious Puberty: As a child I encountered precocious puberty, at the age of 8. My pediatrician then referred me to my endocrinologist. She suggested the vaccine to stop my puberty so I could grow, if not I would end up being shorter than 5 feet. Now I'm 5'1 1/2, if it was not for this vaccine I would not even have reached 5 feet. I am thankful for her, and for my parents that put me through this four-year process of daily injections. It was a long ride, but it was worth it at the end. 2 user(s) found this comment helpful.

Lupron Depot (leuprolide) for Endometriosis: The shot is not too bad in the butt cheek. My problems were the side effects. I think that the hot flashes are the worst of it. I am on my 5th shot, and now I am going through a lot of mood swings as well. 16 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
