Lupron - mood swings

Last cycle I don't think the Lupron affected me this bad...

It is constant tears or anger..and the worst side effect I just got was pure rage. My DH did something really trivial that set me off and I wanted to punch his daylights out..and even took a few girly swings at his arm..

I am completely ashamed at myself and upset which is why I am on the computer right now....

Anyone else get side effects this bad?? I also get really dizzy but that I got last time too.

The anger part scared me That's really not me.

Re: Lupron - mood swings

I definitely was affected by the lupron. Sad and mopey. Try calling your RE, maybe he/she can lower your dosage. How many units are you currently taking?

Re: Lupron - mood swings

My Dr said that's why they call it lupron.. It makes you loopy!! I can go on and on about things that medication made me do.. You are not alone on this one! Just hang in there its not forever,, Thank God!

Re: Lupron - mood swings

Lupron really does make me totally and completely loopy And yes, I find myself losing patience MUCH quicker and losing my temper quicker too. I've had to take a lot of timeouts for myself

OMG, all the meds affect me this way, so dont worry about it It happens...for sure. Lupron was probably the worst for me, though. I was psychotic!

Yes, I was a lunatic the 2nd time around on the meds!

Same here - which I really think is the reason I had the fight w DH last night. If the police were there they would have had me arrested LOL..scary.

I am actually going home 1/2 day today...I just need to go home and watch TV...

Re: Lupron - mood swings

Omg I thought I was the only one who was going crazy from this med! I to would go from yelling and screaming to crying like crazy and I had the samething happen to me with DH I went crazy for no reason and I'm not like that either it scares me that this med can do this to me. I can't wait to be off of this!!!

Great. This is what I have to look forward to? Tomorrow is day 4 on lupron for me and so far I am fine. When do the side effects start kicking in?

Re: Lupron - mood swings

I've only done once cycle with Lupron and I was somewhat irritable. I noticed myself getting aggravated about little things that normally wouldn't bother me. I'm not sure if that was from the medication or just from the stress of this whole process. I also had a bad migraine that lasted for several days.

Don't get too nervous...like I said my first cycle on it I had no issues except for a slight headache. This time around, headache, dizziness, extreme mood swings / teariness..but everyone is different. I hope you don't get that! I started feeling the dizziness and headache about Day 4ish...and the teariness that week too...now it's the 2nd week and the moodiness / *****-fits have started.

Thanks Jen! I sure do hope I am ok too. Only time will tell!
How do you control your emotions at work? This is one of my main concerns. I would like to hold it all in until I get home. (poor DH)

I hope you are feeling more normal soon.
