Hi CurlyGirlie
Thanks for posting asking about side effects of leuprorelin.
It’s difficult to say why you are feeling more emotional and having difficulty sleeping in the last few months and whether it is due to your leuprorelin. You don’t mention from your post if you are taking a hormone therapy alongside your injections, but some people find that they can experience different side effects in the months and years that they are taking them.
You also mention that work is stressful so this may also be affecting your sleep and impacting on how you are feeling emotionally. I wonder if you’ve discussed these difficulties with your line manager, They may be able to help make reasonable adjustments to make your work less stressful.
If you haven’t already done so, do let your breast care nurse, treatment team or GP know how you are feeling so that they can assess your symptoms.
