To Lupron or not to Lupron

So, here I am 2 yrs after chemo and 1 yr after herceptin and in the "almost there" phase of menopause. I am ER+ 10% and PR- and decided Tamoxifen would not yield any real benefit... so I figured I would take menopause on as naturally as possible. In the meantime, my period keeps coming back every three or four months. Its lengthy (up to 3 weeks), heavy and hugely inconvenient. I am 45.
My question is whats the Lupron shot like ? I really worry that menopause will come on so suddenly that I won't be able to tolerate the hot flashes (I had a sampling of that when I was on chemo). I took effexor and that was worse.
Can anyone tell me what lupron felt like for them ?
