Help with Estrogen control - Everything upsets my stomach!

[OptimumHealth]

I am on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) taking 250mg cyp/week.

I have to take something for estrogen or I end up with gyno and a lot of water retention.

I used .5mg anastrozole ed and it worked very well but made my stomach so upset I was in the bathroom 3x a day. It isn't just from taking with food or not. .5mg probably had my estrogen too low, so I tried going to .25mg ed which kept many estrogen related symptoms at bay but still upset my stomach.

I am trying 20mg Nolvadex ed right now. It doesn't work as well for bloat, but my stomach is a little better. Not enough to keep taking it though.

If I can't find a solution, I will have to take less test and cut out all prescription estrogen control products.

Sorry to have such an unusual problem, but in the book Anabolics, the author mentions some people get digestive problems on AIs.

A lot of things upset my stomach.

Unless someone has a new idea with prescription meds, I will try to find something otc.

Any ideas.

Thanks for any experience you may share.

It's probably low serotonin potentially from the testosterone, or you are having too much sex and blowing out your neurotransmitters. 100mg timed release 5-htp...I get the brand natrol. take 1 pill 1-2x a day. Also l-tyrosine a couple pills twice a day can help. If it truly is the adex, switch to aromasin 12.5mg eod or e3d.

Thanks for the suggestion.

it's not too much sex. 1x day.

I think I will have to experiment to find something that works even though some of these meds are in the same class and work in a similar way.

1x a day will screw with your neurotransmitters. anything beyond 3 times a week (eod), and you are definitely going to have neurotransmitter imbalances causing IBS type symptoms and inflammation. The testosterone is making you want all this sex and your neurotransmitters are paying the price. lol It's an easy fix if you replace them. But the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) may be attributing some. Everyone is different in that regard. If you replace them with l-tyrosine, gaba, huperzine a, timed release 5-htp 100mg, you can have a lot of sex without these problems. lol

Definitely listen to what cjw is saying. He knows what he's talking about. I also like your idea of experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. We're all different and react differently to medication. Good luck.
