question from a user
Im on a pretty reasonable TRT dose - 125mg/week test E subQ - but seem to keep having high e issues. Im around around 20-23%BF and dont understand why its so challenging. Iv got 1mg arimadex tablets that i've sliced into 16ths (a pervious life well lived means I'm quite good at this sort of thing...) but i dont know if that low a dose is metabolised when i take them? Do i need to take a larger dose to get effects?

That sounds like a reasonable dose for Testosterone, even a bit on the low side to expect Estrogen issues with. You're doing subq as well which would be a further help in avoiding adding extra Estrogen when on T.
In this case it sounds like your AI dose my be a bit too low. If I'm reading that right you're only taking 0.0625mg once weekly? Or are you taking it daily? That would still be about 0.45mg weekly if you are.
We'd suggest to our patients to try and take a larger dose the day of injection (6-8 hours later if you want to be really on the ball) instead of small daily doses. The highest level of transference will happen when you have the highest T spike. So even if you keep your dose the same but try to pair it up better with your injections it may help.
