[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 210248, member: 42264"] I know this topic has been beaten to death and with a little legwork, I am sure to find dozens of threads on this, so I apologize. But, like many here, I am still perplexed on why most forms of TRT I have tried cause side effects that outweigh the benefits. I have a ton of posts out there, but have not posted lately, as I have resigned myself to sticking with Natesto and hCG - the only combo that does not make me anxious and/or give me headaches. I have tried cypionate, enanthate, propionate, IM, SC, various doses, various intervals. I have tried enanthate with and without preservatives. I have tried various oils. I have tried high, medium and low dose cream, scrotal and elsewhere. My primary struggle has been headaches. I tracked my response to TRT diligently for over six months. On a spreadsheet. That's how anal I have been. During a recent call with Defy, we proposed the theory that my trouble is not likely from testosterone, but rather from metabolites. To test that theory, I started using low dose nandrolone, to see if I get the same headache triggers. As it turns out, I did not have the same reaction as I do with most forms of TRT. It didn't give me the familiar headache, but I am not sure I necessarily liked it. Wouldn't rule it out altogether, but I got nervous with all the negative experiences shared out there. All that said, if in fact metabolites are the source of my headaches, specifically estrogen, perhaps using and AI would be a simple way to solve my problems. I realize AI's have fallen out of favor. In fact, the TRT community seems to now champion high e2 and its various health benefits. I think, but am not sure, that I do better with low e2. I have been on anastrazole a bit here and there in the past, but not consistently enough to know if it helps or hurts. I also never quite knew how to time using it. Sorry - this post is a long run for a short slide (a lot of preamble for a simple question). But, since anastrazole has gotten villianized so much in the recent past, I would like to hear some anecdotes of guys who need it. How much do you take? How do you time it? How convinced are you that it makes you feel better? If you use it, do you rely on labs as a guide or a confirmatory tool? [/QUOTE]
