Irritated / Depressed After Injection?

I've heard a lot of posters mention estrogen levels as being the culprit for feeling like you do, perhaps consider getting some blood work done to ensure your at optimal levels.

I've heard a lot of posters mention estrogen levels as being the culprit for feeling like you do, perhaps consider getting some blood work done to ensure your at optimal levels.

I too was experiencing "irritation" about a day after injection. [200mg once weekly]. I too had wondered if it was driving up my estrogen numbers just after injection, hence causing the irritation. I did happen to check my E2 about a month ago and it was WAY up there at 167; but that was almost a week after my prior injection. I'm now on Arimidex .5 EOD and about due for another blood test.

On a side note, I would also break out about 1 to 3 days after injecting. I've since gone to bi-weekly injections and I don't get irritated like I used to, but that could be the Arimidex] and as far as breaking out, that has gone *way* down, but I do get itchy all over now.. It can get real annoying at times. Not sure if it's related but I just thought I'd share the kind of reactions that can come with injecting as a point of reference.
