anastrozole is hydrophobic, will not dissolve in water. With water, if you shake it first you would be OK.
Guys, having some weird sypmptoms. keep getting hot flashes down my legs, and feet are sweating badly. Im in the office, soo weird.
Hot flashes are also part of higher e2.
Have you tried to take the lower dose of adex ?
@PKNY, I did. .25 on Thursday, and .25 on Friday. Feeling better, a little better. But don’t plan on taking another dose till Monday, space E3D.
Quick update. I have been taking .25 mg Adex EOD since last Friday. Hot flashes are gone, anxiety, nerves gone. Started to get some morning wood this week, took my usual .50mg test on Monday, seemed to have better libido until today, Thursday. Ive been feeling neutral most of the week, even keeled, but today I have noticed no morning wood, and libido down. Not sure if im low or high E. I should be taking my normal .25mg Adex this morning.
No labs yet! They are taking forever…
Hmmm.
Well, to start with, you were supposed to cut the dose to 1/4.
This means 1/4 of 100mg per week, which is about 25mg per week, not 25mg EOD.
So you should be taking 8mg adex EOD, not 25mg EOD.
It seems that last week you were experiencing symptoms of high e2.
The .25EOD got you down, but is now crashing you and taking you too low.
The wood, and relief of symptoms shows a reduction of E2, which got you to
the sweet spot (where night wood returned), but now it’s taking you too low.
The good news is that it would seem that 1/4 the regular dose (in your case 8mg EOD)
should work for you.
You should wait until Monday to resume the ADEX, at that point use 8mg EOD.
Your wood and libido can also suffer from lack of sleep and holiday indulgences.
@PKNY are you saying 25mg of test once per week? And .8mg of Adex EOD?
Thanks PKNY 
Keep your test dose the same.
Lower your adex to 8mg EOD.
WOAH! Got labs back! Im waaaay out of whack here.
Wondering if I should cut back my trst dosage? Currently 50mg Friday, Sunday.
On this particualr lab, I def took too much Adex. .25 on Thursday, and Friday. (I have cut dose to .8mg, EOD Starting tonight)
@PKNY, before I read your last post, I took .8mg on Saturday night, instead of waiting till Monday. So I took .25mg on Friday, and then .8mg on saturday. Should I wait till Tuesday? I originally took the .8 after reading a previous post, because I felt like i was getting hot flashes.
Free Testosterone(Direct) Value (>50.0) Lab Range (8.7-25.1) Abnormal Flag (H)
Testosterone, Total, LC/MS (1095.8) (348.0-1197.0)
Dihydrotestosterone ( 25) (L)
Estradiol (10.3) (7.6-42.6)
Looks like you are in the same boat as me, low SHBG.
It’s the reason your Free T is double the upper limit.
Very high Free T makes you feel like crap.
I remember getting labs like yours and wondering why I wasn’t
feeling like $1,000,000, and walking around w/ a permanent boner.
The good news is that you need less test to feel good,
the bad news is that E2 can be difficult to manage.
You can easily cut your T dose in half. 25mg twice per week (50mg total/wk)
and 8mg adex EOD. That should take your total test to the 500’s
and your free T to about 25 (top of the range). E2 should come into the 20’s
too, but you should wait until wed to take your next 8mg dose of adex.
Get this new protocol in for two weeks, and see if you can get blood work done
after that time has passed.
Let me know how it’s progressing.
@ PKNY
Will such high free T give me ED? Or is that still low E2, you think?
The really low E2 is a sure boner/libido killer, even if your free T was in range.
But more than double the upper limit of free T
(your lab value cut off at 50, it could be higher) causes ED for me.
Lots of Docs start guys off at 100mg T/wk, but the reality is that most healthy men
only produce 7-8mg per day. Guys that are blessed with great genetics produce
10-12mg/day, and have the supporting chemistry to make use of that much T.
So for the great lot of us producing say 8mg a day, we are only at 56mg per week,
and that’s if we eat right, keep alcohol and stress low and get enough sleep and exercise.
100mg/wk is @ 14.5 per day and you can see where it creates problems.
For the average guy less is truly more. That bit of reality took along time for me to accept.
Once I did, I got on the road to feeling really well.
Now, for the case of men with normal to high SHGB, they are the ones that need larger
doses of T to get to a point to feel well, some need up to 200mg of T per week.
But for us low SHBG guys, its more like 50-75/wk ime.
So, nothing really to report, feeling pretty even keeled. I noticed on Wednesday, during the eveing, I started to feel a bit of anxiety, hot flashes, but that was when i was supposed to take my .8mg dose of Arimidex. I felt better in the morning.
So, im wondering if my free T is soo high, should I even bother with the new doasge this week of .25mg test? Or maybenot take it all and wait another week, let levels fall a bit more?
Suggestions?
You can skip one dose, but I wouldn’t skip an entire week.
Just found out wife has been dosing me 200 mg per week! not 100mg!
No wonder!
You probably have 200mg/ml Test.
So, you are cutting your dose in half, and 25iu=50mg taken twice per week.
Before you were taking 50iu, which was 100mg twice per week.
@PKNY CORRECT! How long will it take t get back to more normal? Dude, I have to perform next weekend, if you catch my drift, libido is way down, but slowly feeling better.
What syringe can get to measure out a much smaller amount of test?
Should be feeling better day by day with the lower dose.
I use the 1ml 29g .5" insulin pins.
They are graduated 1iu-100iu, 1iu=1mg
