Sex drive is completely gone

**yeahbuddy289** · 11-22-2012, 08:43 PM

About 6 weeks into my cycle (testoviron 500mg a week) and my sex drive for the past week has been gone. I have been using anastrozole (adex) at .25mg 2x a week. Do you guys think my estrogen is possibly too high? My nipples are not sore and I dont really look too bloated but no sex drive.

Nipples don't always have to be soar... It could definitely be estrogen related but only bloodwork will give accurate advice... If you are not a vet you can't just guess!!! You need to get bloodwork sometimes...

Blood work would definetly be the right way to go. But would it be worth it to bump up the adex to something like .25mg m-w-f?

Everybody is different... I take .25 mg everyday... But until you learn how you respond I wouldn't recommend going crazy with it... But to me it sounds like e is to high... The vets will have more experience then me... But just my 2 cents... Good luck

You should have been running HCG next to the adex. I would get some asap if it were me.

you know there is always the possibility that arimidex has decimated your estrogen levels as opposed to allowing them to flourish. i was taking adex at the same level you are and it became obvious pretty quick how powerful the stuff is. joint pains,lethargy, soles of my feet and palms of my hands hurt, no sex drive etc. you can play guessing games to try and assign the cause to one thing or another, blood work is the only way to be certain.

Make sure it's a Sensitive Estrogen Assay. Specific to males.

Ironically, it's either your estrogen is too high or too low

crank up the adex ED and wait a week or so to see if drive goes back up.. if not, cut it out and see if it goes back up.. you just gotta experiment and see what suits u and in what qty

also, check your zinc (and magnesium) intake..

I'd try that.
Also saturated fats are suposed to be good for sex drive you could try increasing that too.

OP...is this your first cycle? If not, did you use an AI before?

Solid advice, along with bloodwork and a male sensitive assay.
