First cycle was 375mg Test-E for 12 weeks and went great. Felt a little sluggish last two weeks, suspected high estrogen. I wasn’t taking an anti-aromatiser. This may be relevant later.
Second cycle is 500mg Test-E (same supplier) with a 50mg/day winstrol kick start. Was torn about taking amiridex since I did fine without the first time and was planning on a Nolva as needed for any gyno and in PCT. About 2-3 weeks in got sensitive nipples and started taking .25mg amiridex EOD with the intent to finish the cycle with it, taper and jump on the nolva for PCT. Sensitivity in the nipples has pretty much gone away.
The problem is a few days after starting the amiridex I started to feel really sluggish, weak in the gym, no motivation for cardio (which is odd for me) oily skin, a bit restless at night, libido is slipping a bit. I don’t feel like the animal I felt like first cycle at all.
My head is telling me I have signs of high estrogen and should up the adex to .5mg EOD, but it just seems like a lot considering I needed nothing last cycle. Is this all in my head? I am planning some blood work mid cycle given the issues, but I want to level everything off before I get a reading.
Winstrol should be good. I was thinking it was the jump up in Test with the Winny being a small factor. I can’t say the Winny had a dramatic effect on me so maybe I am wrong. But then again, It’s all pretty new to me so I don’t want to assume anything.
Woke up feeling a bit better today so I am going to run with the assumption it is Low E. I was scheduled to take .25mg today but I think I am going to half the dose and push it to tomorrow.
Just a follow up for anyone who stumbles across this thread in the future. I changed my dose to .1mg EOD and that seems to have sorted the issue out. I guess I am an over-responder to amiridex.
Have you tried any other AI’s? Its hard to find that balance when starting out. Im still finding my feet with different compounds.
I started off on 12 mg eod of aromasin but after 2-3 weeks i had itchy and sore nips, not major mind but noticeable, so upped it to 25 mg eod. I have the same issue with libido, first few weeks I was an animal but now its seems to have decreased and yesterday I literally had zero motivation to go gym which is not like me at all.
I think your right in dropping the dose, you can always up it if you get any problems. Last thing you want to do is have zero E2 in your system. Might have a go at reducing my dose and see what happens.
