That's fair and I would say that is also a more effective way of communicating what you wanted than to just call someone neurotic based on 1 post. But I get it, and I agree, that's why I am scaling things back.
I think your last sentence is helpful, because having an impact is relatively broad and wide. Lettuce can be defined as having an impact on the nervous system in some way. That doesn't mean that a mixed salad is more detrimental than eating just cucumbers, for instance. One common approach with top coaches is to not raise doses of a single anabolic or agent to its maximum effective dose, but instead to combine multiple drugs at the minimum effective dose, as those doses are usually clinical and present less harmful side effects combined than a single dose at higher levels. For me, that is not exactly what I am doing right now, as I am trying to keep everything in low doses. But I think we have a lot of evidence that this:
100mg testosterone
200mg primo
10mg trestolone
25mg proviron
1000mg metformin
40mg telmisartan
4iu gh
5iu lantus
5iu log pre and post workout
3000mg l-carnitine
5000mg taurine
is healthier than this:
200mg test
200mg boldenone
or
200mg test
30mg dianabol
One may seem scarier because of volume of drugs, but only one of them is truly scary. The latter combines 2 testosterone derivatives at a higher dose, don't have any prophylactic measures, no anti oxidants, no attention for the synergistic effect of dht, test, and 19-nor derivatives at lower doses. I am in no way saying a beginner should do the former (I don't think they should do the latter either!), but I am saying that a high number of compounds is not a problem simply by definition. It can cause problems of management when you don't know how to manage these things or don't know where the problem is coming from, but that is not a problem of having too many drugs. That is a problem present in other areas of life, as we use elimination diets, for instance, to find out exactly what is the issue. Eating a variety of foods isn't the issue. Not knowing which food is harmful is the issue.
That's true, and it's a common thing with prolonged use of clonazepam (not my case) and adhd meds (my case). So we scaled the dose back, as early in the AM as possible. Unfortunately I cannot function without medication because of my disability, but as much as we can, we are doing that.
I think you should always spell provolone from now on. It makes everything more fun hahaMy spell check changed pregnenolone to provolone. Provolone is fine to add to the mix.
It could very well be my estrogen levels. As Scott Howells says, "hormone action in isolation is meaningless." But to find my optimal ratio and dose, I believe scaling back and managing the A:E balance with proviron is the best route. As you said, with low estrogen I would be feeling how I am feeling now, but somehow lowering estrogen even more with aromasin would be the preferred course of action? That is what doesn't seem to make sense. I can't say how low my E is because it is all relative to my A levels. If androgens are too high and estrogen hasn't been able to keep up, proviron and a lower dose of test would correct the problem. If both androgens and estrogen are high, I would be experiencing different side effects. But again, both personal experience and bloodwork are equally subject to misinterpretation when a variety of compounds are at play. So to lowering everything we go!

In the end, despite some disagreements, I believe we all agree with the same thing: too many factors make determining a single factor a more difficult task. We all agree less factors is helpful in diagnosing the problem. I agree entirely. I appreciate the help here, fellas.
In positive news, I had my first good night of sleep since December
I think we're moving in the right direction.
