[QUOTE="Xerxes, post: 29093, member: 5563"] Hi Guys, I've posted a few times and am feeling much better than when I first reached out in desperation. My current protocol is 40MG cypionate MWF and 1/8mg adex when symptoms present themselves. I've been so much better on this protocol and rarely use the arimidex, but when I do sometimes I respond really severely. I usually only take 1/8 mg adex after a shot if my anxiety starts ramping up. I've done this successfully a few times each month..It also often does wonders for my ED/morning wood and libido. However, once last month and now I seem to have gone too low in the E2. No labs to support, but emotionally flat, crazy tired and fatigues, NO libido, etc. Definitely different than the crazy insomnia and anxiety I get when I am high. Last time, I just waited it out about a week and actually came back feeling better than ever until last week. So my question is if anyone has any advice about how to fine tune adex dosing OR how to recover from being low more quickly. [B]I know all of these are probably very dumb [/B]and that I should just wait it out, but I figured I'd ask if anyone had any personal experience that might be helpful: 1. would oral DHEA help me come back more quickly 2. would increasing my dose temporarily this week help? 3. i switched from testim to shots and still have some tubes left over. I know that gels aromatase more than shots. Would using a tube this week help bounce back quicker? My next Dr. appt and bloods are Jan 18th. I think I might ask him for lab scripts so I can go when I am feeling good once and when I am feeling bad once to see where the numbers are. I'm in NY so can't order my own labs...I really wish I could, b/c It would make fine tuning even better. Thanks for any advice... For reference: Most recent labs from Oct 12 2015 when I was feeling about a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10: TOT T 949 (high) 249-836 SHBG 16 range 10-57 (low in my opinion) I had tested at 24 in May and I think 21 or so in Aug. Free T 288 HIGH 30-150 E2 (ultra sensitive test this time) - 14.5 range 7-49 Labs from Aug 11 2015, when I was in all out crisis mode with anxiety and insomnia: e2 42 on a range of <40 [B]HIGH total t = 693 range 160-853 free t = 18.2 range 3.5-15.5 [B]HIGH shbg = 20.7 range 10-57 albumin = 4.7 range 3.2-4.8 dhea = 168 range 80-560 prolactin 4 range 2.1-17.7[/B][/B] [/QUOTE]
