Why am I losing my sex drive on Test?

i don't believe "androgen receptors can get saturated". I've run aas a long time and never got "saturated", plus there is little scientific evidence for this old theory. sorry, dr. Jim, but not to worry since this is not a democracy and consensus proves little.

Hahaha so very true!
 
you do realize that often in cases of poor libido while on AAS that viagra is often not much help at all?

As every porn actor knows, viagra or cialis won't work if you're not, well, horny. They do have injections that go directly into the penis that will make you hard no matter what you're feeling (as every super-dedicated porn actor knows:eek:).

so i guess solo's a porn star lmao. is it actually true that letro is way stronger than a comparable dose of adex? should i regret ordering letro instead of adex? haha
 
Their effectiveness in lowering E-2 is roughly equivalent yet Letro does appear to decrease E-1 and E-3 more so. This effect was achieved primarily by increasing the dosage to 2.5mg versus 1mg for Anastrozole. (I am not aware of a truly "milligram to milligram" comparative study though.) FYI, since Aromisin is a steroidal SERM and Amiridex and Letro are both non-steroidal SERM's a similar comparison can not be made (kinda like comparing apples and oranges) in this instance.

letro always killed my libido no matter how small a dose I tried to figure out

you'll see if you try it, it works fast

If you have 2.5mg/ml liquid letro, using 0.5mg(0.20ml)EOD shouldn't kill your libido. Letro won't cause lack of libido any more than adex. You probably dosed it incorrectly and now you are throwing it under the bus.
 
Old thread, and the OP is gone, but I can offer some practical advice: I am on trt 200 mg per week and by week 10 m losing sex drive and erectile ability.

That is when I run a pct. I am on 10 mg of Nolva for the 10 weeks, but bump it up tp 20 near the end. I then run HCG in a fairly large dose (1500 IU's eod)and add an AI like Dex or letro. I keep nolva steady and one day defore last shot of HCG add Clomid, 100mg per day for 7-10 days and then drop down tp 50 mg for 7-8 days.

The above worked well for me for many years, until my late 40's and it seems that my endocrine system just can't be propped up anymore.

However, when I go back to 200mg a week of test, my libido and erectile function are good again
 
Dr. JIM,
Thanks for your earlier response to me. Can't seem to navigate site to reply. I have the decreasing libido. Total test -841, estradial 26.6, don't know what LH means. Using 200 cyp. Also IGF-1 325 from hgh. You guys seem to know a hell of a lot more than my MD.

LH is luteinizing hormone, which is what your pituitary sends out to tell the testicles to make testosterone if you are on trt it usually heads to zero because you are getting your testosterone externally
 
Don't see an LH value on labs. Test of 841 is in units of ng/dl, estradiol of 26.6 in units of pg/ml. IGF-1 of 325 in units of ng/ml.
 
If you are predisposed to E-2 side effects cut the AI dose in half, yet if E-2 was not problematic previously discontinue it all together. A noticable "change" should occur if E-2 is the orgin of your problem within TWO weeks. If this does not improve the situation it's likely some perioheral "desensitation" has occurred due to your advancing age, and I would consider increasing the testosterone dose by roughly 30%. There are several other options available such as; HCG, Clomid, Anavar, Proviron etc but they should be made in consultation with your PCP, Endo or Urologist, as should all of my prior SUGGESTIONS!
:)
 
I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
I believed the role of the Arimidex was to make sure the test remained just that in your body. Am I now learning that it is possible that it's use can be contributing to a lower libido? Is Clomid something that would supplement during test protocol or used to recover from a "cycle"? I have not gone off test in several years. Have studied HCG but can't get a feeling for what a theraputic amount may be.
 
Oh I didn't realize your tT was bumping 800ng/dl since with that level increasing your testosterone dosage would not be appropriate, IMO, time to start thinking about Viagra or Cialis if changing AI dose is of no benefit.
