Re: Question about Depo-Lupron

[Guest guest]

First off why are you taking Lupron?

How much are you taking 3.75mg or 7.5mg or more?

It is no more than six dose of 3.5 mg and if you want

to know why search for my posts on the darn stuff or e

mail me

Good Luck and God help you

I took Lupron for 3 months prior to surgery so that we could get my

iron levels up and also as a side-effect shrink the fibroids. My

iron levels did go up but the fibroids did not shrink. It is my

understanding that you should not take Lupron longer than 6 months.

It is also my understanding that if you take it longer than 3 months

you should take a Calcium supplement.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Is'nt Lupron supposed to be NOT taken more than 6 consecutive months?

Like I said, i'm seeing my doctor this week, but I guess for now he

wants me to take it to reduce the size of my bigger fibroid (9 cm)

before removing it.

The prescription if for 3.75mg
