easto i luv ya, but tapering off certain androgens as a female can be very beneficial for many reasons even if we are on "female doses". Any introduction of an androgen into the female system will cause a disruptance and our hormones are so easily unbalanced that the slight adjustment to them can throw everything into a spin... using a taper allows the hormones to gradually return to "normal" rather than just dropping the androgen... an immediate stop of androgen can cause an estrogen rebound. When we take an androgen our estrogen gets suppressed as our test levels have been increased... so if you taper the androgen, you allow the estrogen to gradually increase with less side effects and less to no rebound. I highly recommend a taper if a woman is on a longer duration of aas, or ones that have a bit higher androgen vs anabolic ratio. Another thing i have noticed with a taper is better "emotional" and mood control... so if rebounding is not a concern, with many women, the emotions ARE a major concern. I personally have experienced severe depression from NOT tapering anavar... With a taper my moods are more controlled and less erratic. Also post cycle therapy (pct) for women may be necessary, even though that is "taboo" according to most men... But when i say post cycle therapy (pct) i am referring to otc supplements like st. johns wart, valerian root, dandelion root, 5-htp, etc... it does help.
