Greg,

Lupron can cause hot flashes, mood swings, and some of the other things you listed in some of the women who take this. That is also why when a woman does it for 6 months it is not uncommon to start on what is called addback therapy. What this means is that a little bit of estrogen is given back. The dosage of the estrogen is small enough to take care of the menopausal side effects while giving the drug a chance to try and help shrink the endo.

I just finished one similar to this and did the estrogen therapy. I did the addback right from the start b/c I also have osteoarthritis. If you have any other questions please feel free to e-mail me off the list about my experience with the medication similar to Lupron: Zoladex.

Take care,

===== Kristy :)
