I think you mean 2.5mg not mcg. Have you checked your BP? When was your last blood work?

[Tattoo70]

Yeah, sorry mg is what I meant... Bloodwork is good and so is bp... I check that three days a week... Just weird... The only thing different is the letro... Done test e a few times as well as the others...

Bp was 133/77...

Ok, fair enough. Prehypertensive but not unexpected. I've got mine down to 114/72 and feeling great.

Cut your letro dose in half or consider switching to adex if the headaches persist.

Are you consuming enough water?

Oh yeah bro... I drink all day... Never without water...
