I think your best bet to understand how lupron works and what is overstimul=
ating the adrenals, you should read this...

It's much more technically/medically accurate than I could ever be.
I don't know about Lupron's side effects in humans. I'm not sure how that r=
elates to ferrets, who seem to have no side effects from Lupron usage. I'v=
e had Penny on Lupron since her bilateral (left removed, right debulked) ad=
renal surgery. That was 3.5 years ago and so far she's doing wonderful on =
it!
I don't think we can compare humans to ferrets when it comes to some drugs.=

larly.
