[QUOTE="S1W, post: 137237, member: 16947"] I have experienced the same thing with low dose AI. My numbers at trough were roughly TT 900 FT 27 E2 47 SHBG 23. I wasn't necessarily having high E issues that I was aware of, but knowing that my E2 was 47 at trough and was likely much higher at peak, my doc and I decided to try an AI to see if it had a positive impact. I took my first dose of AI, felt great for a few hours, thinking to myself "Oh man this is going to be great! Should have started an AI a long time ago". That didn't last very long at all. Later that day I felt tired, a little bit down/depressed (which is not characteristic for me), sexual function deteriorated along with libido, and strangest of all, I felt kinda dumb - slower mentally. Those feelings continued for several days. I laid off the AI for the week and decided that maybe I was coming down with a cold or having a few off days, etc. Tried another dose with my injection the following week. Same exact experience. So no AIs for me. I feel like a bit of an anomaly because with low normal SHBG, I frequently hear that I should consider lowering my TT/FT levels and get my E2 lower. But whether it is the TT/FT or the E2 that is responsible (I suspect it's both), I feel better at higher levels. [/QUOTE]
