Am I going crazy?! Help

Pharma
1

Was at a dose of 80mg of test cyp 2x a week. Now at 60mg 2x a week.
March 20 - my trt clinic changed me from arimdex to aromasin due to my high lipids. Was changed to taking 25 mg of aromasin every day…
April 12 (3 weeks later) - I literally start having panic attacks. Having consistent anxiety and depression. Literally felt that I was in my head and couldn’t concentrate. Had dry penile glands and what felt like plantar fasciitis. Was told to stop. Got labs done with my test levels over 1500 and my estradiol level was at 15.3
4 weeks later (now) still having anxiety and depression and mood swings. Not as a bad as before but they still occur. Worried about the future and depressed.

Is this from crashed estrogen?
When will I actually feel normal again?

Yes, most likely and also too much testosterone.

Also likely estrogen related.

As long as you’re with this braindead clinic, this will continue.

A more sensible protocol would be 100 mg per week and no AI!

I seldom agree with @systemlord but in this case, 100%.

Long esters are horrible. Switch to prop 10mg daily or 20mg eod and drop the ai. Then adjust up or down

Gotta be honest, I don’t think this is great advice.

I’m on Cyp, works fine for me.

You might try prop, but I can’t deal with the PIP every day.

Holy moly 25mg Aromasin daily, way too high a dose IMO. That would send my E2 into the gutter. Everyone will be different in terms of dose, but whenever I have used Aromasin in the past it is normally 6.25mg 2-3 times a week.

This is an unfounded blanket statement! I think your own personal experience is creating a bias to where you think everyone is like you.

Sure

lulz wut? Test Cyp/Eth is fine if injected 2x/week. This results in almost perfectly stable blood levels between injections

Has this forum really gone downhill to the point of “inject test prop every day”?

It would send everyone’s E2 to the gutter. It is an idiotic protocol

Wow. You told really told me! Thanks.

This is the 3rd or fourth post that you inserted this crap into a thread. Just because you have a belief doesn’t mean that is the best way for everyone. Switching to a short ester will have 0 effect on what is happening to the OP.
The OP’s issues are solely the incompetence of the physician prescribing this mess.

Those symptoms you described are all (in my experience) related to very low e2. When it is tanked like that, it can take a while to feel normal again. If there is anyway to inject a little extra test, this can help you get out of this hole quicker.

Aromasin permanently blocks AE, I’ve read that it’s a longer recovery when you’ve overdone it. Do you have current blood work?

15

Aromasin is a suicidal inhibitor, it kills aromatase. Your body has to make more aromatase to recover. God forbid your body be damaged and can’t make more or adapt to not creating more after long term use.

You know best.

I don’t know best and don’t pretend to. Unlike yourself who interjects rubbish into peoples threads. See below. Maybe read what the OP’s issues are and if you can’t help then keep your thoughts to yourself.
Having an opinion is great but you are preaching your gospel.

Well said.
