I'm helpless guys.

I'm sorry you wasted your time reading and responding to this thread.

I try to get off the Adex... But after three days like clockwork I get extremely puffy and bloated and lose morning wood.

So I take a .25mg of anastrozole.

Within an hour I start feeling like crap.

You know what's strange though: when my e2 is rising I feel better but look bloated and no morning wood.

Post Adex I feel like crap but get my best morning wood.

So I'm sure you can understand my frustration.

I've heard e2 should match shbg to have optimal erectile function.

That seems to be the case with me.

My shbg sits around 16-17.

So when my e2 is 16-17 my morning wood is strong but I FEEL LIKE CRAP.
