I am not sure my input will be much help, but I never really had any problem with Lupron. I was perimeno prior to chemo (some night sweats and erratic periods), but the TCH put me right into chemopause. I never did get another period, but since I was not officially in menopause at the start of chemo, once the TC was done my onc started me on tamox. I couldn't stand the way it made me feel - really anxious and stressed. So, stopped tamox and started monthly Lupron on 10/1/07. I had two monthly Luprons and then had an ooph.
I had not problem with the Lupron or the ooph, but the tamox was a bear!
Hope that is helpful
