High T and ED...and too much AI?

[wig surf]

I'm having a bizarre issue...My libido is somewhat strong, but I can't get an erection with a woman unless I take 5mg of Cialis. I get erections while I sleep (needing to urinate) and in the morning before I get out of bed.
I'm injecting 10mcg every day of Cypionate and was taking 1mg of Anastrozole, (.5mg on Monday, .5mg on Thursday) and got my labs back, (which I've attached). My Dr. increased my Anastrozole to 2mg a week-1mg on Monday, 1mg on Thursday. He did that because my Estradiol was high, 32.
My energy level is pretty good and I have good workouts, but I'm concerned about my ED and taking 2mg of Anastrozole a week. I've been doing 2mg of anastrozole for about a month now and feel fine, no side effects that I know of. I have had ED now for the last three months. I'm wondering if something is off in my blood work or I need to add pregnenolone or some sort of supplement.

Can my Testosterone be too High?

Hi, I just got my blood work done with Quest Diagnostic and wanted to share some results. I inject Enanthate every day (10cc) subq, (170mg a week total), and take .5mg Anastrozole Mon/Wed/Friday. Total T: 1442 Free T: 524 E2: 32 (just a little high). My blood pressure is high, so I went to my...

3 months later with the same issues and you are still f**king with the AI.

My reply from your previous thread:

You easily have room to lower your dose and bring down your FT if need be and there is a good chance that you may feel great overall let alone avoid the use of an AI.

I would drop the AI-first to see where your estradiol ends up and how you feel overall.

If things turn for the worse then it would be more sensible to lower your dose and bring down your FT as you easily have room to play with!

With an absurdly high FT, your estradiol is just over the top-end yet your doctor doubles your weekly dose which is only going to drive your e2 down further.....go figure!

The downfall of running too-high an FT level is that unfortunately most end up using an AI and in some cases a whopping dose to manage the elevated e2 which can cause numerous issues due to driving down estradiol too low.

Much more sensible to start low and slow on a T-only protocol without the use of an AI as we want to see how our body reacts to testosterone.

Many would prefer to avoid the use of an AI if possible as having healthy estradiol levels are critical to your overall health due to its beneficial effects on (cardiovascular system, brain, libido, erectile function, lipids, bone, tendons, immune system, and body composition).

Keep in mind that testosterone has a tonic effect on the CNS.

Too high an FT level can easily make one feel amped up let alone have a negative impact on mood/sleep/erections/libido and blood markers such as RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit.

Some men will not do well running high FT levels which can lead to numerous issues in some.

Excess FT levels can result in acne/oily skin (genetically prone), accelerated balding (genetically prone), drive down HDL, increased RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit (common), overstimulation of the CNS (common), bloating/water retention due to androgens effects on the retention of electrolytes (common).

Let alone many end up trying to manage estradiol with the use of an aromatase inhibitor.

Even than excess steady-state FT levels may very well have a negative impact on neurotransmitters (dopamine/serotonin).

I believe you are having issues because your Free T levels are absurdly high. It's also worth mentioning some men have sexual issues with levels over the top end of the ranges, especially those blasting and cruising.

You are being poorly managed Sr.

Thank you....I'm going to start by decrease/stopping my AI. I would look into lowering my Test. Dosage as well, just wondering how much to decrease it. I can start by not injecting on Sundays.

Thank you very much for all your advice....Again.

Next week I'm going to cut my AI in half and then stop the AI the following week. Or should I completely stop my AI next week? I just don't want to cause any sudden side effects.

How long should I wait till I decrease my Test?

Since I'm injecting 10ui of Test Cypionate everyday (and the bottle says 250mg/10ml), what amount should I decrease my Test injections?

Potential adjustments:
Mon-Wed-Fri @ 5ui
T-Th-Sat @ 10ui
Skip Sunday

or
Mon-Tues-Wed-Fri-Sat @ 10ui injections
Skip Sunday and Thursday injections

I would say my energy level is pretty high and I can see how it might effect my CNS as well. I'm happy to lower my dosage, I'm just nervous that I'll loose my energy level, but I'll do it.

Thank you so much for all your help as I'll for sure start with stopping the AI and see how it goes. Hopefully my E2 doesn't shoot through the rough and cause water retention. Who the hell knows, maybe I'll feel better and get my erections back!

I want to come across in a positive way but you are making this very difficult! Just go to a daily lower dose and stop chasing it. I take 12mg per day and might even go to 10mg. I am not a doctor so talk to your doctor about this! your free T is off the charts!

Thank you for being positive, there is no need to be negative. I’ll lower my dose.
thanks!
