I been on TRT for 10 years at this point. I find that my current default "sweet spot" (as far feeling good and having a fairly high sex drive and function) revolves around the 100-130 mg T cyp every 3 days with no AI.
Occasionally though I like to experiment with different dosages (in both directions) to see how I react and feel on them, including going above the general max therapeutic weekly dosage at times.
I've found (although not always the case) that when I inject higher dosages, my sex drive and function tend to both drop pretty drastically (much less random boners and desire to ejaculate). And this is going from 100-125ish mg T cyp (with no AI) in an injection to 150ish mg T cyp with an AI one day later (0.125 mg anastrozole, per injection), so not a HUGE difference per se.
Same frequency of injections in both cases (every 3 days).
And it leaves me wondering, is the decreased sex drive and function due to:
1) Increased testosterone beyond what I should have?
2) Increased estrogen?
3) Decreased estrogen? (I know it's only 0.125 mg, but maybe they affect my heavily)
So it makes me wonder, should I try taking 2 or 3 more AIs with increased dosages, or should I not take them at all?
I know it really does depend on individual response, but how am I able to take increased dosages of T injections without negatively affecting my sex drive and function?
