Thanks Blackhawk, I'm sorry you had to go through that, I appreciate your help and taking the time to pass along your experience, and I wish you the best with current health issues. The consensus seems to be that I was planning to start out way too high (even at 150mg, down from the 200mg script) -- I'm now thinking 80-100 might be a much better path.
This forum has already probably saved me from a poor initial protocol and maybe saved me months of difficulty while trying to figure this all out -- it's a great resource!
