I was diagnosed with endo, and was put on decapeptyl injection for 3 months, i suffered some side effects like hot flushes, excess sweating, sore during sex, and others.my skin went through a stage of being very bad and now im notcing im getting bad stretch marks in unusal places where im not really carrying weight...just wondering if anyone else skin getting bad and bad stretch marks (what i more feel like crying over)???as it doesn't say this as a side effect.or if had the stretch marks did they go away cause i know usually u cant reverse stretch marks...

    I took lupron depot a few years back and i had severe side effects. I stopped getting the way injections. And I started feeling better so I would quit taking it.

      Thanks.It stays in my system for 3months, but dont think I will get the next lot even though the pain of the endo is gone i now have other issues.its like a vicious circle. I may be able to take a certain pill back to back now to prevent the endo coming back but i don't know which is worse suffering through the pain and missing out on things while young or been left very consious of my body!!what did you do when you stoppd the injections??did you try anything else?
