[QUOTE="madman, post: 211903, member: 13851"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/can-my-testosterone-be-too-high.23975/[/URL] You were already given sensible advice from numerous posters. [B][I]I'm injecting 10mcg every day of Cypionate and was taking [U]1mg of Anastrozole, (.5mg on Monday, .5mg on Thursday)[/U] and got my labs back, (which I've attached). [/I][/B] 3 months later with the same issues and you are still f**king with the AI. My reply from your previous thread: You easily have room to [U]lower your dose and bring down your FT if need be[/U] and there is a good chance that you may feel great overall let alone [U]avoid the use of an AI[/U]. I would drop the AI-first to see where your estradiol ends up and how you feel overall. If things turn for the worse then it would be more sensible to [U]lower your dose and bring down your FT as you easily have room to play with[/U]! [B][I]My Dr. [U]increased my Anastrozole to 2mg a week-1mg on Monday, 1mg on Thursday[/U]. He did that because my Estradiol was high, 32[/I][/B] With an absurdly high FT, your estradiol is just over the top-end yet your doctor doubles your weekly dose which is only going to drive your e2 down further.....go figure! The downfall of running too-high an FT level is that unfortunately most end up using an AI and in some cases a whopping dose to manage the elevated e2 which can cause numerous issues due to driving down estradiol too low. Much more sensible to start low and slow on a T-only protocol without the use of an AI as we want to see how our body reacts to testosterone. Many would prefer to avoid the use of an AI if possible as having [B][I]healthy estradiol levels are critical to your overall health due to its beneficial effects on (cardiovascular system, brain, libido, erectile function, lipids, bone, tendons, immune system, and body composition).[/I][/B] Keep in mind that testosterone has a tonic effect on the CNS. Too high an FT level can easily make one feel amped up let alone have a negative impact on mood/sleep/erections/libido and blood markers such as RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. Some men will not do well running high FT levels which can lead to numerous issues in some. Excess FT levels can result in acne/oily skin (genetically prone), accelerated balding (genetically prone), drive down HDL, increased RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit (common), overstimulation of the CNS (common), bloating/water retention due to androgens effects on the retention of electrolytes (common). Let alone many end up trying to manage estradiol with the use of an aromatase inhibitor. Even than excess steady-state FT levels may very well have a negative impact on neurotransmitters (dopamine/serotonin). [/QUOTE]
