Title: E ramp-down before SRS...
Post by: AbraCadabra on August 01, 2011, 06:24:41 AM
For my previous preparation to have SRS (15. June) I went through a hole spiel to go down from 3 E2 tabs a day to none, over a 5 - 6 weeks period.

I felt pretty crappy in the end, but it might have just been the precursor to my coming down with subdural-haematoma. (I had a fall and concussion halfway through that ramp-down).

Now, it's time once again to get ready for 20. Sept. SRS.
This time I just dropped from 2x E2 tabs to one and do not so far seem to have any issues. Touch wood.

My question: What will likely happen when I go to zero E once again?
(I have VERY low T, 0.7 nmol/l)

Should I go on with one tab/day and then stop cold turkey 2 weeks before SRS, --- or take one tab every second day for a while for I stop?

BTW, I'm also on INERGY 10/20 (anti-cholesterol tabs)

I'm told to be on zero E, 2 weeks ahead of SRS.
This includes AAs, Aspirin and other blood thinning goodies.
