Lupron side effects?

Ok ladies looking for normal side effects of this drug.  I started my lupron shots this week at 20mg. Today I started having major side effects.  I have a major headache, brown gooey discharge (not alot, but at least noticeable), and I can barely swallow (don't know if its a soar throat or what.  HELP.  Is this normal or should I call my nurse?

I get a headache, low grade all day from Lupron. I did get a mild period after my bcps and while on Lupron, so maybe that is your discharge? I would be slightly concerned about the throat problem, just because I would be concerned about an allergic reaction with throat swelling. I would call just to be sure on that one. GL!

I also had the low grade headaches all day long - still do even after starting stims and dropping the Lupron in half.  I also have had a bit of a sore throat (not trouble swallowing) but thought I was just fighting a cold....so, maybe it's not a cold?

Throat swelling is a very common symptom of anaphylactic reaction. I would call your dr just in case. You don't want to not be able to breathe and end up in a er. Not trying to scare you but that can be serious. I hope I'm wrong. Good luck.

Everything sounds ok except for the barely able to swallow part....for that reason I'd say call the nurse. Hope you feel better soon!

I hope that you called about the throat thing.  I did have a sore throat but I thought that it was just a cold or something.  But I could swallow.  Good luck!
