Need some advice
Hello there, I have the following problem and would need some help:
I'm halfway through my cycle (Test E, 400mg/week) and I did bloods last week. My test was high at 1500 ng/dl but so were my E2 (152 pg/ml) and my prolactin (29 ng/ml), so I started to take 12.5mg of aromasin every day since monday.
Now this week's been kinda rough because I experienced some negative sides like moodswings (was kind of depressed/unmotivated in the morning but evenings I suddenly felt pretty good, and that happened every day), loss of appetite, anxiety, and I was very tired all day. I was questioning myself if I should end the cycle early cause I'm a little worried about my health, but then I thought maybe it's because of the high estro or prolactin and it needs a few more days to get in check. What would you guys do? Has anyone had the same problem? Could it be that those sides are from aromasin? Or maybe it's cause i was sick last week and my body hasn't fully recovered, who knows.
Maybe I should lower the dose back to 300mg, that was my starting dose and after week 6 I thought I could increase the dose to try and find my "sweet spot". Felt pretty good on 300 the first few weeks and gained some good weigh and strength without any bad side effects, besides night sweats (not every night) and maybe a little bloating.
Hope someone can help me out with this one, cheers!

I don’t like any AI that I have to take daily for that reason. I get all of those sides as well. I prefer to keep Arimadex on hand and take half of a pill every time I inject. If I ever feel the Estro creep up, I pop a whole pill and it subsides within 24 hours, and I feel normal again. Anything over 400mg of Test per week can bring on some mood swings for me, so I usually keep my Test at 300mg per week
Thanks for the help mate, I lowered my dose to 300 again. As for the AI, I think I'll just stay with aromasin and take half a pill on injection days aswell. Getting adex right now would be too expensive for me and I only have 4 weeks of the cycle left
Any tips on how to lower prolactin?
Cabergoline definitly helps lower porlactin- But you need to look at your cycle and see if its appropriate for you. Caber is normally used to minimize side effects from Tren and deca usage , it definitly lowers prolactin as i used it and ended up crashing my own prolactin levels .
For yourself though getting the estro levels in check will help re balanace the body and then take it from there
I had the same problem years back with aromasin, it’s pretty strong and crashed my estro pretty quick so I switched to adex and was a little easier to dial in.
I found my labs from when I was taking 6.25 aromasin every other day and they almost bottom baseline and just didn’t feel good on it, I presume my estro was up and down felt much better on adex but keep in mind everyone’s different just showing how strong it was for me
anvilThe way you get a side from adex is from crashing estro. Are you sure thats adex and not aromsain? Because adex is normally 1 mg. You can lower the test it will help but stop taking serm daily. 1 mg of adex per week start with, if its aromasin 12.5 twice weekly.
Damn sorry, I meant aromasin, I fixed it thanks.
Do you think 25mg a week would be enough?
anvilYou can do 25 a week get bloods again and see if you want to keep the test at 400. I have never taken more that 1 adex a week. As JakeKO states in his response, 1/2 pill on injection days. I don't use AI anymore because my bodyfat is lower and I use Primo/EQ/DHB (not all at once) enough to 1:1 my test usage. Hope this helps. I never loved aromasin but a lot of people use it at 25 per week.
