Just wanted to post my experience with e2. I’m taking 200 a week of cyp. Doc started me at 1mg twice a week Anastrozole. Felt like shit. Lost my morning wood. No sex drive. I switched to 1/2mg twice a week. Still felt like crap. Then 1/2mg on Mon, Wed, Fri did the trick. It’s pretty amazing when you get it dialed in. I feel great. And now that I’m doing some volume training, I’m really starting to see some impressive results
Just so I understand correctly… You were originally on 2mg a week total and felt like shit, switched to 1mg total per week still felt bad, and now take 1.5mg total per week and feel good? So I guess you were to high then went to low but now good?
Thanks,
Mike

It does seem a little odd …
Maybe its a typo ?
Did you or do you know E2 levels by blood ?
The approach of 1mg anastrozole for every 100mg test ester per week works well for most. TexMed appears to be an anastrozole over-responder. It takes a week for a dose change to get to steady state serum levels then time for the brain to adjust to the final E2 levels.
We have seen a number of cases where 200mg/week leads to difficulties.

+1 to what KSMan said. I’ve experienced this personally.
Especially once you knock your E2 levels too low, it can take some time for them to bounce back also when adjusting your AI dose. I’ve been skeptical of any changes that were noticed before being on a regimen for at least a couple-few weeks, just because it takes the brain awhile in most guys to respond to a new steady level of E2 as well. One of my docs told me to wait 30 days after each med adjustment to determine if it is working, but I don’t know I’d wait that long either.
Had not gotten labs yet. He wanted me to run 6 weeks then get my labs. I did the 2mg a week as ordered. I knew this would be to much, but I thought I was probably pretty high, so I’d start there. When I decided to adjust, I went with what most recommend (0.5mg 2x a week) and adjusted from there. I’ve gotten labs now. I’m anxious to see the results, but I can say for sure I feel great @ 1.5 mg 3x a week
