Medications that cause more testosterone to convert to estrogen

Trying to get my e2 levels dialed in. I must have done something that worked, my libido came back some, and erections like I have never had. Just not able to cum. I have read that some meds cause some men to make more estrogen than others, requiring more arimidex. I cannot find a list but got to wondering if me having to take tramadol, right now on 3 to 400 mgs a day, and klonopin 2 mgs a day as well as ibuprofen or aleve, be causing me to aromatise a lot more. I am thinking it has too. Most men I talk to on sub q injections spread out over the week do not even need arimidex. Has anybody here taken these drugs and saw higher estrogen levels? Thanks!
 
I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in but klonopin isn't gonna help things in the sack. I used benzos for years and always wondered why things were so crappy in the sack during that time. And those meds affect things not because of estrogen...
 
Been on benzos for years, they never bothered libido. I had better libido without trt. Way better. Without the benzos I could not have sex if I tried.
PIE take them for what they called myclonus when they put me on them, not anxiety.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
