[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 175629, member: 3"] I think blocking aromatization with anastrozole when you are on TRT (i.e., you do not have low testosterone), is as counterproductive as blocking DHT with finasteride. I have been moderating this site for 11 years and I would say 90% of men using anastrozole are doing so based on what their ill trained physician told them, what they read online, or what they assumed were high estradiol symptoms. Most of them did not even test their estradiol and, if they did, started treatments with an AI because the LabCorp or Quest lab range told them they were high (lab ranges are based on men not on TRT). There is no amount of information I can publish that can change this perception. I predict that it will take at least 10 more years to shift this perception that has taken hold based on poor data and a wrong assumption. Some of you may say "but I feel better on anastrozole". If so, more power to you and stay on the drug. Estradiol, like DHT, is an enhancer of testosterone. It is not a toxic hormone. Only 0.4 percent of testosterone aromatizes to estradiol. It is not the cause of moodiness, water retention, sore nipples, etc in men on TRT. I have over 30 articles about this on ExcelMale.com. Just google "Estradiol ExcelMale.com" to read a few. I know many of you will push back to this statement. I am a broken record but I am starting to see the TRT field starting to shift while some clinics are still lagging behind in updated knowledge and data. [/QUOTE]
