[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 129380, member: 18023"] I agree with you that any disagreement in our culture is taken personally. It's not popular to be neutral about any subject, it's seen as being wishy washy and doesn't provoke a response. I am not sure you are being neutral either with your assumption the forum is going to be very unhappy with anyone that uses anastrazole. But I object to the cookie cutter approach that I have seen from every doctor / clinic I have ever visited. As in, take x amount off testosterone, 0.125 X anastrazole three times a week, Vitamin D, DHEA, Fish oil. Who is to say in advance I need an AI? [B]IMO there is an over prescription of AI's based on assumptions.[/B] That is not to say that an AI isn't a useful tool when E2 is too high. But I know I really have to get my Total T way above range before my E2 is above range. So I wouldn't take an AI unless I planned to have TT at least 1200-1300 ng/dl. Different doctors will give different advice, but it all tends to be cookie cutter type of recommendations, mostly based on what sort of hammer they are involved with or their personal "individual" experience with a problem then assuming most people must be the same as their personal experience. They seldom ask their patients or explain the various other options. For instance, for the same condition, an urologist would most likely suggest not getting on TRT, and it could affect the prostate, they are more concerned with that than other aspects of health. A psychiatrist will tend to promote SSRI, while a T clinic will promote Testosterone + an AI, while a few T clinics / doctors will say high E2 levels don't matter. All for the same condition. They can't all be right. [/QUOTE]
