Lupron Menopause issues - Menopause Message Board

Hi there. I am 27 and finished six months of Lupron to treat endometriosis in March. While I was on it, and in menopause I had horrible hot flashes, migraines, emotional roller coaster issues and weight and acne problems.

Since going off the Lupron, these symptoms have gotten a little better, but the acne is horrible. I break out daily on my face, chest, back and arms. It is so embarrasing and I have a special soap, cleanser and am even on medicine for it. No improvements.

Anyone with any similar problems?

I was on Lupron for 3 months before I had a complete hysterectomy... I had night sweats and hot flashes... I had migraines from a car accident previously, so I can't tell if they were from Lupron or not..
I did not hear about or have acne problems...
I would assume that they are from a hormone increase...
I know my symptoms took a while to go away, but they were so bad before the Lupron and worse during, I am not suprised...
Have you seen a dermotologist?
