[QUOTE="madman, post: 213502, member: 13851"] [B][I]On the 26th of last month I dropped my dose down to 120mg with the intention of holding there for a few weeks to let everything settle, and then to consider another drop in dosage. I had initially been prescribed 0.25mg of Anastrozole to be taken with each injection (Sunday morning / Wednesday night) but stopped it completely when I dropped my dosage on the 26th.[/I][/B] You are just coming up on the 3-week mark since lowering your T dose. Common for many to experience ups/downs during the transition as the body is trying to adjust as hormones will be in flux during the weeks leading up until blood levels have stabilized (4-6 weeks TC/TE). Keep in mind that you dropped your overall weekly T dose from 160--->120 mg. Decreasing your overall weekly dose by 40 mg will have a big impact on dropping your TT, FT, and estradiol levels. [I][B]What am I experiencing here? I'm guessing it's high E2. Is it something that comes about from dropping my dosage or stopping my AI? Is it a double whammy combination of the two things?[/B][/I] Coming down in dose is harder than going up and some may experience a bumpy ride during the transition. No point in jumping to any conclusions as we have absolutely no idea where your trough TT, FT let alone estradiol sit and only time will tell once you have blood work done 6 weeks in. [B][I]Should I ride this out and see what happens or should I take an AI to try to take the edge off of things (I'd prefer not to do this but I'll take any advice on it)?[/I][/B] Forget tweaking your protocol let alone throwing in the AI as you are only 3 weeks in. Tough it out and wait until blood levels have stabilized then get blood work done to see where your trough levels sit. [/QUOTE]
