Adding testosterone also raises estrogen (estradiol) which causes irritability. It is hard to find a balance where both are in check.
- leroy_masochist 3y agoThat's why you get your blood work done and titrate anastrozole, which a good TRT-prescribing office is going to do without you asking. I would disagree with your contention that it is hard to dial in estradiol. It is, in fact, a very straightforward process based off of blood labs.
- ajcp 3y agoIt's not hard at all if you do initial bloodwork to establish baseline estradiol. After that and depending on the results the TRT regime should include an estrogen blocker to negate a rise.
