[QUOTE="AlcahueteJ, post: 79176, member: 12816"] Hi everyone, Sorry for the delay, now I sort of know why "Clomid unicorns" seem to be unicorns, because once it works for you and it doesn't need tweaking...well, you don't really keep up with updates as much. People come to these forums looking for help, but that's likely true of most forums, especially those related to testosterone, nutrition advice, lifting advice...etc. Anyways, I had another appointment back in April with the accompanying blood work, and nothing really changed from my January appointment. Since it had been working, we decided to begin tapering. For reference, I was on a 50 mg every M/W/F regime for a full year. He told me back in January I could taper then if I wanted, but he recommended going the full year so the pituitary gets the message and can make testosterone on its own. Anyways, so since April I've tapered down to 50 mg every Monday/Friday. I had my next set of blood work yesterday, with an appointment next week. Well...my total testosterone is now 849 [B][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Testost [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]280-800 [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]ng/dL:[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] 849 > 642[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]SHBG [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]14-48 [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]nmol/L:[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] 52 > 63 [/COLOR]The numbers on the left are the one's from yesterday, the one's on the right are the numbers from 3/31. I didn't bother to post LH/FSH or calcFT/estradiol. The former because I didn't post it in my last post, and the latter because I dug a bit deeper and my free test is simply a calculation and isn't measured directly. And the estradiol isn't the sensitive test (the number was 12, down from 13 last time, but whatever). Anyways, I went from far below the low end of the range for testosterone a little less than a year and a half ago to past the high end of the range...and this was AFTER I began tapering. As far as symptoms of low testosterone, those are all gone, and have been for quite a while now. OCD issues have ramped down considering. However, anxiety has increased markedly, both general anxiety and the new one was panic attacks on the highway while driving which I'm battling with. This didn't start until May, and I began tapering at the beginning of April. Are they connected? Maybe, we'll see next week. I imagine I'll taper even more now, perhaps I'll just come off it?
