I think I was on about 3-4 weeks before I went in an pulled my first heavy deadlift. I wasn't expecting or looking for gains... so I'm not really sure when they started. I do know that I got the "feeling good superman" thing very early on.
I've been back on for only a few days now (ran out) and have that old carao feeling right away.
I received my Carao today so the experiment begins. I just took some and for me it's not that bad at all. In fact it tastes like something I know but I just can't place it at the moment.

Yeah, rotten shit!
You really don't mind it? I love the effect, but I shiver every time I take a dose. BTW, to anyone who read the original post speculating on carao's effect on SHBG: mine come back less than half of what it was the last time I checked it (about a year ago). Doesn't prove anything, but it's interesting, and with my current test/estrogen levels, I would think the SHBG would be up there!

Wow. This isn't conclusive... but it sure as hell is interesting. I think we will all be watching for more tests with great interest after hearing that.

That is interesting. buffdoc, how long were you taking the carao and how much were you taking before you had your shbg tested? Since my 'baseline' shbg was taken only last week (I'll have that result in a few days btw), and there are no other variables in this equation at the moment and won't be until I'm tested next, I feel there's no reason that confidence shouldn't be pretty high toward the result -- whatever it may be. If I'm not mistaken he also did a CBC about 5 or 6 weeks ago on my initial eval. I honestly cannot remember for sure but if he did I'll also have that re-taken when I do the shbg again next month.
I took two tsp. the first day and then four yesterday and again today. I tend to do that, if I had more I'd probably be doing 8. I'm going to stick to 4/day, however, until it's finished so I guess I'll have the shbg results sooner than originally stated.
But I definitely feel a boost from it. I'm coming off of walking pneumonia and have been feeling pretty slugish I assumed from still being in the wake of that. I know it's not my imagination, I feel better today than I have since before I was sick. So I'm looking forward to March when I can get some more. As far as the taste, I actually like the stuff, call me weird if you want. lol
I was taking (and am taking) 2-3 tsp per day. It'd only been a couple of weeks, so whether the SHBG could respond that quickly, or whether it was the Arimidex I'm on, or both, who knows?
Keep us posted on your results. Thanks
