Lianne,
I was on add back therapy while I was on Synarel (GnRH agonist). It
worked wonders for me. It really helped w/ hot flashes, moodiness
etc... I was on Aygestin for add back.
I've also heard the horror stories about Lupron. Synarel (which is a
nasal spray) was amazing. It works the same thing as Lupron (induces
Menopause so you no longer produce estrogen which "feeds" endo). Maybe
ask your Dr. about it.
Good luck to you!
