[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 152001, member: 16042"] First, hang in there, I too have gone through similar Hell with reductions in dosage, but coming out the other end have been OK. And, it has taken me longer to start feeling better than just reaching steady state at 4-6 weeks. I believe the body still can take more time to fully adjust. For me up to 2-3 months. While low E2 can certainly cause night sweats, based on my own personal experience of N=1 I also believe that such symptoms can come [B]from the changing hormone levels[/B] rather than the end point from dosage changes. i.e. symptoms are not necessarily from low E2, but due to the changing levels of E2 and T. It is like the body is utterly confused by the changes. These are all Low T symptoms, and I believe due to dropping levels. Again, I've had equally as bad or worse symptoms during dosage reduction as having profoundly low Free T and low E2 before starting TRT. The most confusing times were during adjustment to lower dosage. And another note, after I reduced all the way to 84mg/week and increased dosage frequency to EOD and tried to tough it out, I still ended up needing an AI. In fact is wasn't until I reduced that far that I started anastrozole. My E2 remained around 35-40 and I do so much better with it in the high 20s, so yes, you can have high E2 in 100mg/week. I also tried daily dosing with the thought I might be able to reduce or eliminate the anastrozole, but immediately felt worse, had more bloating/water retention, and decided it wasn't worth the trouble to tough out yet another change. And finally, I didn't re-read your entire history, and don't know how you treated the problems in the first place. So my response is only about going through reductions for what sounds like the same reasons that I did. It could be you do better at higher dosage and just need to adjust dosage and AI at that higher dose. Everyone is individual. [/QUOTE]
