Detailed Answer:
Hi

It will take around 6 months more before the lupron will leave your body.

I will advise you to take Cetirizine tablets for itching around your ankles and legs with your doctors advise.

For insomnia you can take tablet alprazolam with your doctors advise.

For muscle pain you can take paracetamol tablets twice daily.
