Copied from thread started by guest user Natalie K A couple of days after my laparoscopic surgery, I agreed to let my doctor give me a one-month dose of Lupron via injection. I regret this decision, and don't want to continue with the 6-month treatment. How long do you think it will take for this one dose to leave my system?? I want it out of my body!! Did anyone else out there have just one or two shots? How long before its effects seemed to wear off?

Natalie I went through hell with Prostap last year, but that was given in 3 monthly injections. I forgot how hellish it was when I agreed to it straight after surgery this year! My current drug is Gonapeptyl, I've found I do better with it if I DON'T take the HRT and after just 2 months I've had enough. This time I'm getting monthly injections, this one should have finished around the 20th of October and I'm getting pretty bad side effects (as you do towards the end of each injection) I'm also seeing signs that I'm about to have a period already, I really hope not though. Last year after the full 6 month course, it took 2 months or so for things to get back to normal.

Thanks for this bit of info, Ive been trying to find out how long it will take for me to start getting back to normal after my Decapeptyl Injections, I get them every three months, and Im on a 6 month course which im due to get my second injection for next week.

Ended up crying at home after because I felt so stupid in myself, thinking that I was losing the plot, but im glad to hear that this happens to other people and that it is probably just a side effect to these injections.

I finished a course of 3 monthly Zoladex injections in January. The most awful pain (I thought!) returned 7 weeks after the last injection. Later that week, I had 4 days premenstrually with literally nauseating, wrenching pain (pelvis, low back, abdomen, legs), extremely weakened and unable to eat very much. I spent 3 of those days unable to leave my bed. Then my period began. The most chopper-liver like clotting (loads of it). I was dosed up on opiate painkillers, voltarol and ginger tincture and sipping smoothies. The pain carried on right through to the end of the period and beyond (a total of nearly 2 weeks misery). My body is wondering what has hit it. My mother has hardly slept for worrying, and keeps asking what I'm going to do now things have got so bad...(and I'm 32!). I'm worn out and have visibly lost weight, which is not good for lowered bone density. On the upside, my short term memory has returned , I'm no longer an insomniac (mostly because I'm exhausted or knocked out by opiates, but also because my oestrogen level has increased) and my word recall skills have been revived ;D. I can't say I loved Zoladex , but it clearly did give me a significant respite from agony.
