[QUOTE="Oldpowerlifter, post: 79913, member: 16351"] Thanks guys. I was not thinking E2 was the sole issue with my libido. I was more leaning towards it being dopamine related UNTIL this Labcorp test that freaked me out. As for it being a "massive dose" of adex, I've been on that dose of adex for years and my E2 regularly being in the range of 21-27 on labs and my libido being sky high. Just the last 2 years it's been awful. Xyrem is for chronic pain and insomnia in my case, not narcolepsy. Vicadin is for chronic pain as well. Been on the Xyrem as long as I've been on HRT. that stuff used to actually make me super horny. Vicadin I've not been on the entire time, just recent years which makes sense it's related to killing my libido. And yes I've had major amounts of stress the last 4 years which is what my docs attribute the libido crash to. But If my E2 can be dialed in, and there is a way to deal with dopamine desensitization obviously it may improve my life. Stress has recently gone down and I'm doing lots of self care to manage the stress. Going to ask doc next week to do labs with Quest and the sensitive assay. Only lifestyle change between the two different labs was going back on low carb. That's it. And I've been on same low carb diet (even stricter keto and cyclical anabolic diet aka DiPasquale) while on this same HRT protocol for the first four years I was on. For Vince : Estradiol range 7.6 to 42.6 Protocol 200mg Test per week 3x1mg adex per week 3x250iu HCG per week 3iu HGH daily My E2 normally comes in anywhere between 21 to 27, and even past two years when E2 is spot on my libido still dead. At certain points I knew it was high stress, but just stumpled onto reading about the dopamine densensitization with TRT for some, then started digging about Vicadin and found it reduces dopamine, and I know my doc has said Xyrem boosts dopamine. Hopefully I can get a blood draw this week with Quest and at least get an idea of where E2 really is so I can adjust my adex dose accordingly. [/QUOTE]
