[QUOTE="GeauxBears, post: 149934, member: 5724"] These points are well taken. I’m not closed to the fact that this may be psychologically induced - I know from my prior struggles with anxiety the power this can have and am keeping that line open. What is particularly concerning here is the progression - I’ve had much more severe psychological events in my prior life that could still be overcome by Viagra. The fact that I’m non-responsive to Viagra (even the side effects that come with it) is pushing me away from the psychological component, at least for the moment. I feel like I’ve taken a placebo. Candidly I’ve always wondered this about arimidex. When I first started TRT I drove E2 too low and there is no amount of Viagra on earth that could get me a solid erection - so I have experienced this - but it doesn’t seem from the labs that E2 is too low. That said, I’ll talk to the doc about withdrawing arimidex since the dose is already so low, to your point. My doc has run this in the past, I’ll see if I can get it added now. Is your hypothesis that because my SHBG is so low, my Free E2 is lower than what the Total E2 would indicate and thus I’d need to run higher to feel well? [/QUOTE]
