[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 119249"] I'm sorry that your doctor has you on such a poor protocol. It is absolutely terrible. The once weekly injection of 160 mg of testosterone is not advisable unless you have very high SHBG. Do you know what your SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) is? Why are you bumping the testosterone dose to 200 mg from 160 mg a week sometimes? That is another part of your problem. You need a protocol that is consistent. What was your estradiol before you started TRT? It does appear you have crashed your estradiol if it is sitting at 5. Many of the symptoms of low estradiol and high estradiol can be the same. Your's is definitely low. I would not take any more anastrozole and it may take 10 to 14 days, maybe longer to work it out of your system. The half life of anastrozole is about 48 to 50 hours so 5 times the half life before it's gone altogether. You should start returning to normal. If you feel like you are starting to get high estradiol symptoms then take just a tiny bit like 1/4 of one pill (0.25 mg) and see what that does for you. I wouldn't supplement with DHEA until you get back to normal and you need to see what your DHEA-s levels are. DHEA suppementation has a preponderance to turn into estradiol in men and you really need to see where your estradiol levels fall after stopping the anastrozole and what your DHEA levels aready are. It is likely that you should increase the number of injections per week, which for most works well, but we need to know what your SHBG is before discussing that further. Make sure to thank you doctor for screwing around with your well being. He/she really did not give you proper care. [/QUOTE]
