Currently I'm taking 525mg Tren ace EW with 525mg Test prop EW. Adex is dosed at 0.5 EOD.
So from my own experience from previous cycles and from what I've read on the forums, 0.5 Adex EOD seems like a sufficient dose to keep gyno and water retention away. I've been on this cycle for 5 weeks now. At week 2 I caught a mild cold, and even after 2 and a half week the cold is still with me. It is very minor...but it hasn't subsided. I've also realized that for some reason my cognitive ability has been somewhat hindered (I'm in 4th year University). Sex drive is also as not as high as it usually would be on 500mg Test.
Now lets look at some symptoms of low estrogen:
-low sex drive
-weak immune system
-dry/cranky bones
Estrogen is also essential to the brain.
But heres the problem. I've previously used 0.5 Adex at a dose of EOD with 500mg without any of the above symptoms. My friend was telling me that Androgens battle for receptors. Therefore, when Tren is mixed with test (Tren being much more anabolic and Androgenic) it almost beats Test to most of the receptors. Albeit estrogen is circling the body, it has no chance of occupying many of the receptors. He believes that I've surpressed Estrogen way too much and that is the reason why I'm suffering the symptoms I've listed. Does his theory make sense to anyone?
