[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 223030, member: 43589"] Thanks Nelson, lots of benefits in using Telmisartan. Hey, on the spironolactone. My cardiologist at one time wanted to put me on this stuff to lower my blood pressure because it was unresponsive to the Losartan. I know a lot of bodybuilders who use it the last 2-3 days of a show but for a very short period of time. So I started looking in the long terms effects and called my doctor back and absolutely refused to take this stuff. I told him WTF???? I'm on TRT and you want to kill the effects, not to mention change me from a very strong muscular man into a fat woman. Glad I switched to Telmisartan, I would make a very ugly woman, no doubt my wife would have a fit. :) Here is what I found and you can imagine my mouth was wide open... "Spironolactone is the most commonly prescribed anti-androgen (male hormone suppressant) for transgender women as part of their hormone therapy in the United States and Canada. It suppresses testosterone and helps create more opportunity for estrogen levels to rise" "But, as transgender researcher and peer coach Beverly Cosgrove pointed out in a [URL='https://moderntranshormones.com/2018/01/01/whats-wrong-with-spironolactone/']well-circulated article[/URL] earlier this year, spironolactone also has many other effects, including fatigue, fogginess, muscular atrophy, and weight gain, among others.
