Lowering Dose of Test...need suggestions

**maxwell78** · 10-20-2011, 01:51 PM

Ive been getting headaches the past few days and went to doc yest. my b/p was a elevated and i am retaining water weight. just went for blood work this morning but wont have results at the earliest until monday. gained about 7 lbs in 3 weeks so far on 500mg of test E week. Last cycle ]1st cycle] I ran t-400 and had no problems at all.

Tonight is shot night and i am wondering what is the best dose to lower it to. I was reading maybe 300 or 350 but not sure. I am on doing hcg twice a week for a total of 500 iu and just started a-dez on monday at 0.5mgs. [EOD].

and if i lower my test dose, do i need to adjust everything else too [hcg, a-dex]. i thought i had it all figured out but i guess not.

suggestions please.

prb not the test causing your headaches,, why so much adex? .5mg eod would prb give me headaches to, whats your salt intake like?

i just started the a dex on monday..cant imagine it would be that so soon. pretty sure my headches are from my elevated blood pressure. i only went with the a dex EOD as recommened on swiftos thread. I cant cut the dose in more than half and they are 1mg tabs.

diet related, adex wont do a thing for this.

those headaches can easily be due to the Adex.

I honestly hate Arimidex . Never heard of headaches from it, but it kills my labido.

As I said before, lower the dose to 250mg every 4 days, 0.5mg Arimidex EOD and see how you get on.

Get BP taken asap.

Drink plenty of water, low sodium intake, cardio.

what i am saying is that my bp was a little on the higher side. and the a-dex tabs i have are 1 mg. i cant accurately cut them in more than half, which would give me a 0.5 mg dose. and im doing EOD right now.

wouldnt lowering it to 250 / week along with that much A-dex kill my libido even further? dont notice much difference yet though.

trying to aim for min. of 1 gallon a water a day.

and in the top of my thread you will see that i did see doc yesterday and bp was a little higher. waiting on bloodwork mon.
