Lesbians United member F. shares her experience taking Lupron Depot for endometriosis, and why she opposes the use of GnRH agonists (“puberty blockers”) like Lupron on children.
This story is horrendous. And to have found more people going through the same thing on social media but not be informed by the medical profession of the side effects is malpractice. Using it on children is just plain abuse.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, F. I have been permanently disabled and unable to work since Zoladex (similar to Lupron and is what is used in the UK to treat endometriosis, and ironically, castrate convicted sex offenders) injections eight years ago. Terrifying that this is being offered to anyone, yet alone children.
