Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Lupron

I have been taking lupton shots every 3 months for the past year. I want to stop taking it. Next shot is due in December. I am having joint pain and tingling in my legs. I slap have a herniated disk so don t know if leg numbness is from disk or lupton. What are the effects I need to be concerned about if I stop taking lupron? Am taking it for prostate cancer.

Hello,

Taking Lupron may cause joint pain and tingle in the limbs.

It also caused by disc compression or neuropathy. Anyway, it can be stopped suddenly which may cause side effects.

Under your doctor supervision, you have to withdraw slowly.

Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
