Oily skin on Test

[KillTheKing]

I'm currently on my 3rd week of 400mg Test and I've noticed my skin getting a little oily. What do you guys do to combat that. Also, what are some symptoms of crashed e2? I read symptoms of high e2 all the time, but what about low? I took 6mg of Aromasin for the first time yesterday when I pinned and today I'm pretty lethargic and achy. Such a low dose one time wouldn't do that would it? I haven't been sleeping the best and I did workout yesterday. Am I overthinking it?

Oily can be a sign of high e2. Low e2 for me anyway the symptoms are almost the same as high. So it's tricky. I am kind of torn this second on taking an AI. I am on 600mg test and took half a tab of arimidex Saturday, but am feeling some high e2 symptoms like anxiety, but my skin isn't oily at all.

It's a tough call. If I were you I would have taken the 12.5mg and wait a week and see how you feel. You really won't know for certain unless you get labs.

I haven't had any signs of gyno or sensitive nipples or anything, but I have had some anxiety and been pretty tired and no energy really. I thought Test was supposed to help with all those symptoms! When I started my levels were 219! I just started my third week, so maybe I haven't given it long enough to help with Low T symptoms. I just figured it was high E2 so I tried half an Aromasin. I have noticed strength gains and some weight though. I guess I'll just ride it out until I get mid cycle blood work and know which way to go from there.

Get on a schedule with it. Like the same day each week take an AI and see how you feel. Better to manage. 6mg I don't feel would do too much to crash you. When I use aromasin I usually do 12.5mg once every ten days or so. Mark it in your phone or something to track so you don't overdue it..when everything is balanced out you'll feel better

It's tricky man. When I first got on gear my buddy told me only take AI when your nipples get sensitive. It was dumb advice because I had other symptoms, but didn't know that was estrogen related.

I do .25mg adex or .5mg adex on injection days depending on how much I am injecting.

I found to actually like adex because it only lasts for like 2-3 days max.

So basically when I take it with my injection it takes away my puffy nipples that’d I’d normally get without taking anything on injection day.

Don’t listen to the people who say I took .25mg adex and my estrogen was crashed for “two weeks to a month’”

They have mental issues as in there is something wrong with the structure of their brain because that’s impossible for adex to crash your estrogen
that long.

Even at 1whole mg it wouldn’t do that.

I know nothing about Asin but if that’s what you have listen to @victoryvalhalla about dosing

Yeah arimidex isn't too bad. I've been using it because I have a bottle left from the doctor. It's easy to overdue it when people are taking like 3mg a week because they don't get instant results. I fucked myself up like that before lol I felt all the signs of high e2 and took half a tab, I didn't get instant results, so took more. Over the course of like two days I took close to 3mg and when it finally set in I felt it. Labs done and I was less than 5 lol felt like ass. Actually contributed to a major panic attack and I needed up going to the ER where they put anabolic steroid abuse as my primary reason for visit and anxiety as the second.

But I like adex. Just gives me a headache. Aromasin usually doesn't.

Yeah you can be dying of a legit medical reason that’s not related to steroids and if they find out you’re on steroids they will say oh he’s taking steroids and automatically base whatever you are dying from on the steroids lol

Yeah 3 mg is a lot for a couple of days. That would definitely crash your e2 very hard but you’d be back still sooner than If you crashed it with asin I think. But not sure since I never tried asin yet.

But have you ever seen some of the goons on Reddit.

“ I took .125mg arimidex and my estrogen was crashed for 3 weeks”

Like give me a break. The fear mongering gets out of control

Yep. Either they're lying or they have some seriously overdosed stuff.

Aromasin acts a little different. I believe it's actually a steroid itself unless I misunderstood what I read. Usually one 12.5mg and I am set for a while and basically no sides from it. I was a little skeptical because I've always used arimidex. Definitely worth trying out next time you place an order

Yeah now my medical record looks shitty, but whatever I don't think it matters for anything. I've told my doctor the same stuff.

I went to the hospital before for something that happened coincidentally on a day I was hungover and still had a good amount of alcohol in my system

In my notes I remember seeing “alcohol abuse” in there somewhere I was like are you fucking kidding me now they labeled me as alcoholic every I ever go back to hospital lol

I didn’t do much research about asin yet I will one day.

You see this article about it ?

Hey guys thanks for all the advice. The symptoms really aren't unbearable and if I think about it it's probably just lack of sleep and just being sore. I just thought I would be feeling better going into week 3 of this cycle. Like I said, my levels were that of a 77 year old Asian woman. I'm just going to give it a few weeks until I get blood work. Thanks again!

That's how they are. Bunch of pricks

I just glanced that. Interesting is brings up hepatotoxicity. I remember reading a couple sites that said arimidex was more toxic. Guess it depends which site you read

400 isn't exactly trt levels. Make sure you pay attention to your body and manage that e2. It is likely high, but you'll either get worse symptoms or your labs will be such. Good luck

I dated one before

Her and her doctor friends drank and smoked cigs all the time.

And they’d never go out in public without their doctor uniform on. They’d kept that shit on all fucking day even if they could change out of it they’d keep it on so everybody knew they were a doctor.

According to Reddit arimidex is poisin but asin is healthy.

So I am not sure either I’d personally asssume the one that permanently destroys your aromatize is worse then one that just binds to it then unbinds to it.

But who knows

My skin gets like that too. I have found that using Dial dish washing soap to shower with really helps dry your skin out. Not too much though, like twice a week or so.

I might give that a try. I've never had acne or oily skin or anything even as a teenager so this is kind of new.

Be careful.

I’ve used dial dish soap or maybe Dawn dish soap for a week straight and got eczema on both of my arms.

Only do it once or twice a week like the guy said.

What ester of test are you using? With test C I didnt feel much until week 4 going into week 5. Thats when I noticed a MASSIVE change in like everything.

Also I would be very surprised if you crashed your e2 on 6mg aromasin. YMMV but on 400mg test C I was taking over 25mg of aromasin a week. Its harder to crash e2 on aromasin than it is with arimidex, but if you do crash it, it will be worse than crashing on arimidex.

Test C. Since the symptoms, if that's what it actually was, weren't unbearable, I think I'm going to try to wait to take anything until I get blood work done. Unless it gets completely out of control I should be ok.

Yea. I mean you should use AI to treat symptoms, not numbers. You want your e2 as high as you can get it without having symptoms anyways.

When you say massive change, what exactly did you notice? I've been moving around a little more weight although that might just be placebo. I've been eating more and staying hungry but that's probably because I've really started tracking calories and trying to eat as much as possible. What did you notice changing significantly?
