[QUOTE="KenLowT, post: 121539, member: 18755"] I learned from the guys on here that starting low and incrementally going up based on symptoms is the way to go. Going from high dosage to lower dosing will be very hard on you though. I went from 175mg per week to 100mg per week and it led me down a bad road. My mood dipped, I was depressed, and my energy went down as well. I didn't feel any different one week after lowering my dosage, but Weeks 2-4 were difficult. I finally came out of it in Week 5 and felt much better and more stable. You should really be working with a hormone specialist before making changes like I did. My endocrinologist was good, but did not have the expertise to know how to manage my T levels and E2. I gave up trying to be managed by doctors who were still prescribing 200mg every 2 weeks and not even prescribing an AI when my symptoms were bad. Like I have said before, I learned more on here than I ever did from a doctor. Also, have you checked your prolactin levels. I thought I heard a lecture with Nelson Vergel that elevated prolactin levels can cause this increase in breast tissue. [/QUOTE]
