When I am on 140 mg/week of testosterone cypionate (administered sub-Q every other day). At this dose my total test is around 1250 ng/dL and (calculated) free test is at 27 ng/dL.
Right now, in addition to 140 mg/week of test, I am on 20 mg/day of anavar. My total test is now at 700 ng/dL and (calculated) free test is at 24 ng/dL. The anavar seems to lower my SHBG a lot.
Oeverall, I feel good on just testosterone alone and also when I combine test and anavar. I have no noticeable side effects (no hair thinning, oily skin or nipple sensitivity). And my LDL and blood pressure are in the normal range. Estrogen is high normal.
I'm going to add in 70 mg/week of Deca (administered sub-Q every other day) in order to help alleviate some joint pain in my right knee, which has been going on for months. MRI and X-ray doesn't show any serious cartilage, meniscus or ligament damage. But, there's a lot of extra fluid indicating some inflammation. I've already tried PT, and PRP without any improvement.
My question is: how should I adjust the anavar and/or test when I add in the Deca? My goals are
-- get some pain relief in my knee from the Deca
-- avoid introducing androgenic or estrogenic side effects (thinning hair, oily skin, nipple sensitivity, etc.)
-- maintain or increase anabolic effects
My MD suggested lowering testosterone dose from 140 mg/week to 70 mg/week to account for the 70 mg/week of Deca I am adding. But, my plan was to just add in the Deca without adjusting my testosterone or anavar dose and just see how I feel.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PS I'm not looking for suggestion on how to deal with my knee pain. I am already attacking that problem from a number of different angles. I really just want advice on how to adjust the test and anavar when adding in the deca.
