I have been taking oral medication. We have tried Anastozole, Aromasin, and Letrozole and with all of them I have some side effects that I just can't handle.  I go back to my Dr. on the 14th and I was going to ask him about Zoladex or Lupron injections.  Can anyone tell me if they started on any of the oral medications and then switched to the injection and if they had less side effects with the injections?  I really need to find an alternative!!!

    Well for those of us on Lupron, the purpose is to suppress ovarian function, which eliminates much of the estrogen, but not all. My RO said 85%, but where that # came from is a mystery. I am scheduled to start an AI in two weeks. I haven't seen anyone here who is only doing ovarian suppression as their entire hormone therapy. Are you premenopausal
