[QUOTE="tengounapregunta, post: 82552, member: 15535"] Hey everyone! I have a huge update. I took Clomid at 8 mg EOD for about two weeks. I could feel my strength going up and erection quality too. But something was still... off. That's when I began to dig deeep into the drug I took. The drug I took goes by "arimistane." It's an OTC AI. I found about 6 forum posts from people who have taken the drug and had averse effects. They took this drug that claims to be an "AI" but found themselves developing gyno. What the hell, right? Turns out, this drug was raising prolactin in some people. It was barely lowering estradiol, but raising prolactin. I've had itchy, burning nipples. Some discharge, too. They've also puffed up a little bit. I tested my prolactin levels, and lo and behold, they are high: 17 ng (<15 male). I just took my first dose of prescribed cabergoline today at .25 mg twice a week. For the last 6 months, I thought my E2 was crashed. Wrong. It was high prolactin. God knows how high the prolactin was right after I quit the drug. I believe my low libido and extreme fatigue stems from the fact that high prolactin inhibits dopamine. I have never taken testosterone or any steroid. I made a horrible mistake and took this drug because a man I trusted and happened to be a physiology PhD recommended it to me. From the posts I see on here, it doesn't look like all of you test prolactin. Perhaps testing it could eliminate/deduce some of the reasons for feeling poor on TRT. I'll continue updating this thread. It's been a wild ride. I hope it helps someone down the road. [/QUOTE]
