[QUOTE="Jackerreed, post: 205247, member: 42660"] Hey all recent member, been on TRT for six years now and have been having some issues getting my dose dialed in. I've been given permission by my doctor to reduce my dose albeit without much direction on what amounts to decrement my dose by. I'm having an issue figuring out how to handle this as I cannot tell whether the effects that I am feeling are due to the AI I am taking or if it is due to a dose of testosterone that is too high. Current protocol, including prescription medication: 4g fish oil, One multivitamin (pure encapsulations) 15mg Zinc Picolinate 110mg Testosterone Cypionate every 3 days .125mg Anastrozole 2 days post-injection 500IU HCg day of injection 30mg DHEA 110mg Bupropion daily 40mg Vyvanse daily What I've noticed: I feel great when dosing my testosterone and frankly this continues through to the day that I take my AI, at which point I feel a significant reduction in my ability to pay attention to detail and concentrate on work. What I'll mention with the AI is that I'm not 100% certain I actually need to be on this as my estrogen prior to starting the AI was sitting right in the middle (44pg/mL ref range: 19.00-60.00pg mL), whereas now it's consistently sitting between 16.00-22pg/mL The effect I've felt from taking the AI has led to some difficulties at work and with my interactions with others, specifically in that I become frustrated from these effects and their impact on my work and feel a bit too aggressive when called out on it. This has led to effects which the secondary medications (bupropion & vyvanse) seem to resolve although there's another list of side effects associated with those medications but yeah that's a different story. My line of thinking is that my dose of Testosterone may be off by ~20-30mg and that by reducing the dose I could eliminate the need to take an AI, if there ever was a need at all. That being said I can't tell whether I should eliminate AI from my regimen, wait 2 weeks, and then re-test, or eliminate both at the same time. The latter option doesn't seem right as this would be affecting more than one variable. Any advice in the matter would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
