I'm sorry I have so little to add to this topic but I know my sister took

Lupron when going through fertility and she had big mood swings. Also had a

friend at school take it to help with mentstral issues and couldn't get her

period

back. I didn't keep up with her after graduation so I don't know if she ever

got it straightened out or not. Just throwing in what tiny bit I know about

Lupron.

Hi all,

I'm Dean in Rockford, IL. My daughter, age 17 with high

testosterone levels and lots of anxious/aggressive behaviors began

Dr. Geier's Lupron protocal 16 days ago. We've seen these behaviors

increase along with rapid speech following the injections each a.m.

(she's very verbal).

So far, it's been difficult to keep her in school; 3 suspensions in

two weeks of school. We're concerned she will hurt someone or hurt

herself. I know from the Lupron literature that it tends to send

testosterone levels even higher in the initial two weeks, then drops

to baseline levels and then in weeks 3-4 to what they call " castrate "

levels.

Should I be waiting to see if she turns the corner soon? Any other

experiences with beginning the protocol would be helpful right now.

What have you seen in your children as they began?

Hope to learn much and share the knowledge as we go.

Thanks for any input.

There is a group for parents that are using the Geiers/Lupron protocol

with their child. I’m not sure of the name. That would be a good place to

post your question.
