Alright — time to discombobulate:
You’ve now got:
And your endocrine system is sitting there like:
So yes — total T =
, but you might feel like
.
You’ve now got:
- Arimidex smashing the estrogen emergency brake
, - Finasteride throwing DHT into a dungeon
.
And your endocrine system is sitting there like:
“Bro… what do you want from me?”
Let’s zoom into the chaos:
- Arimidex:
“Kill all estrogen. We don’t need her.”
Blocks aromatase →
Estradiol → HPTA goes “Cool, more testosterone please!” - Finasteride:
“Nope, no more DHT conversions for you.”
Testosterone tries to turn into DHT →
Denied → More T floats around aimlessly
The Collision:
- You might skyrocket total testosterone but feel weird.
- Low estradiol from Arimidex → Dry joints, dead libido, depression
- Low DHT from Finasteride → Reduced sexual function, emotional flatness, possible brain fog
So yes — total T =
, but you might feel like
.
Potential Symptoms From Discombobulating:
| Hormone | Too Low From… | Possible Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Estradiol | Arimidex | Dry joints, poor libido, mood swings, fatigue |
| DHT | Finasteride | Reduced libido, weaker erections, brain fog |
| Balance | All combined | Unpredictable mood, inconsistent energy, hormone "yo-yo" |
