Thank you! Never heard of Primo or masteron?
So how do I change a new protocol, how is the best way to go to E4D?
When you say take Arimifex just once, you mean the day I start a new protocol, I take .25 or .5 AI pill and that’s it?
If i was you and I didn’t have arimidex I wouldn’t wait to get hold of some to change the protocols, if that was the case, forget it, but I believe it’s good to have on hand. I just said that because I have arimidex as me and I didn’t realise I as you didn’t know if I had arimidex.
I as you am also aware of the risks because I did research and I know if I take 0.5g arimidex I might crash my estrogen and its bad for my cholesterol and the last time I had arimidex as me I had breathing problems which I attribute directly to arimidex and I might end up feeling bad if I try to experiment with it. But that’s just what i would do if I in your situation, was certain I was experiencing high estrogen related negative symptoms.
It’s just my personal theory that I as you would feel better in around 3 weeks by utilising arimidex in that way compared to 5-10 weeks without
Upon further review I think 120mg per week could probably end up being the optimal dose from the information available and I as you might do best on 68mg E4D instead of 86mg E5D, TRT is tailored fit to the individual, but without accurate trough numbers it’s a risky move, changing 2 variables at the same time, but I as me would probably choose 68mg E4D if I was you. I believe on a E3D protocol you need to take the blood directly before the TRT injection, I think you have to be very accurate with everything to make E3D work. But that’s just me. but if I as you wanted to play it safe I would do 60mg E4D.
Just remember I’m a layman on the Internet and everyone here would probably play it differently if they was you
Do your research, your body is your kingdom to apply rulership, the final decision belongs to you
Me thinks you want some drama to go with those numbers. Your labs are fine. Youre in flux. Come back at week 12. Keep taking your test and allow yourself to process all of this. This thread has the potential for LARPing. Rule your kingdom!

Is that how you would play this out if you were him? I think if you were him you need to be more decisive, didn’t you read what you wrote, how he has all these negative symptoms, it sounds like his intuition is telling him to lower the dose to experiment, if you don’t test it you don’t know it and I think that’s a good idea for him. even if it takes going low to feel better it won’t harm him to be around 700 nanograms per deciliter for a few weeks until he teeters back up, especially if he feels better for it, sometimes action is much better than waiting, I think if his hormones was optimised he would feel much better

I also dont believe waiting beyond week 8 on a certain protocol has a great likelyhood of improving things but thats just my opinion

Lowering the dose is definitely in the cards. Id start there

So I got a prescription from the doc for arimidex. Take 1/2 a pill every 14 days. I haven’t started yet and I haven’t scaled back my injection to E4D. I just know that once I start it can have a really bad impact or it may correct thing, I am a bit nervous. My depression symptoms have worsened and I definitely feel this is estradiol related.
[sarcasm]Sounds like you have an amazing, highly knowledgeable doctor! Please share his information, so we can all benefit from this! [/sarcasm]

I think if you are on here to not offer productive feedback, grab a towel and sit this one out. Thanks

While I don’t really think you should be taking it to begin with… if you’re going to take it, I would at least split it to once a week or something so it’s a little more evenly spaced out. Just my opinion. so 1/4 pill every week vs. 1/2 every other week, for example
It does sound a little against the norm to take your arimidex at such an interval, maybe your Dr. feels that it’s the correct approach in that he’s being very cautious not to tank it.
I’d do what he says for now.

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I am not keen on it either, but some of the documented symptoms are just to prevalent right now. I am going to change my dosing to E4D from E3D in combo of taking some Arimidex for a month and see if I notice a difference.
It was productive feedback. Dosing anastrozole once every two weeks is idiotic. The doctor has no idea what he’s doing with that dose. You need to be able to read sarcasm better. One symptom of low T, is the inability to be able to read sarcasm.
There’s a time and place to use sarcasm, and not everyone will like that sorta personality.
I’m 42 and have the same personality. But something i’ve learned over the years, is that even though i give hugs through sarcasm, not everyone gets that, and it can be interpreted as me being an asshole.
Just something to keep in mind if you want. If not, disregard.
Dude,
I’m 51 years old, and have been successfully using sarcasm since I was a teenager. You don’t need to explain to me how people react to sarcasm. I’ve heard it all. Some people call me an asshole, and others thank me for telling them something in a way that got them to think.
If someone’s skin is that thin that they get butthurt from someone using a little sarcasm, then they have the issue, not me.
Edit:
My point still stands. Any doctor that prescribes anastrozole to be taken once every two weeks, is an idiot.

Trust me. THIS is the issue. You don’t put yourself into another’s shoes. Not everyone thinks/acts/behaves/feels things the way you do.
I’ll just leave it at that, but i believe even at 51 you have some growing to do.

What are you, my psychiatrist?
Seriously, move on.
The whole point of lowering the dose is so that you don’t need the Ai, if you do both I’d be worried about your estrogen crashing. if you lower the dose your hormones should balance themselves out. so don’t worry you should feel better soon.
