[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 117168, member: 16042"] Update: So it's been almost 4 weeks since changing to EOD, and 2 weeks on anastrozole, 1/16mg EOD taken with my T and HCG shot. I have almost lost the E2 related mood swings and bloating. I am still am grumpy though with less intense emotional episodes. This is VERY welcome! I still am not able to summon motivation for much and have been very unproductive with projects/work. I have a bit more energy, have been starting to do just a little more walking mileage and warm up level super light weight training and some light calisthenics. Still afraid to push it and crash again. I have speculations what has happened in this time, but don't positively know the cause and effect: I think I am past the effects of dropping T levels from downward dose adjustment, and the EOD may be causing a slight increased T effect compared to E3D. However, it seems pretty obvious to me that I do better in terms of physical ability exercise recovery and mental status on a higher dose of testosterone. I feel like we've found the lower limit of what's effective. I feel a bit stuck since hematocrit remains borderline, and last check ferritin remained sub optimal. I don't want to get into a cat and mouse game with hematocrit, ferritin and donating blood, but I'd sure like to nudge the T cyp back up 5-10%. I'm still having frequent lulls mid-late afternoon, and often lie down and nap. I'd like to revisit T3 and T4 on next labs. Anyone know whether taking these morning then late afternoon offers a better picture to base dosing? My last levels seemed to indicate I have more than enough free T3 soon after taking my morning dose, but Free T4 remains very low. My thought is some T4 in addition to NDT might be in order. [/QUOTE]
