I have no libido unless I take AI, but I feel terrible and am so moody and edgy. If I drop the AI, I have no motivation or drive to do anything. I need help, what should I try out?

Since you seem sensitivity to estrogen sides, maybe target a Free T level at 18-20 pg/mL. I would also add in Cialis which can lower E2 by favoring testosterone over estrogen, by change the ratios of the two hormones.

Cialis has many health benefits outside it’s intended use.

Definitely focus on smaller more frequent dosing regimens. Due to your three most recent labs and Free T results, your optimal dosage is somewhere between 160<->200 mg.

So 180 mg split up 3 times a week, 5 mg Cialis and no AI.

Years ago I was able to get anastrozole at 0.050 from Hollandale pharmacy through Defy Medical.

Anything past 75 for estradiol, I have to take an AI. I feel uneasy and just not right. I should’ve mentioned. Hcg also helps me with libido and sensitivity

Thank you for responding

Have you tried smaller, I'd say normal TRT dosages like 70-100mg/week for example?

Far from a given that tadalafil is going to have a significant impact on lowering estradiol.

You have no clue where his trough FT level truly sits as he most likely never even tested it using an accurate assay (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration).

He has altered SHBG.

Looking over his labs TT/FT even without reference ranges good chance he used Labcorps standard immunoassay for TT and the piss poor direct immunoassay for FT.
