Thought on Lipids on recent bloodwork?

[newguy2]

TL/DR
Lipids increasing, what should I do. Not sure if this is Statin territory. I have Pita and ezetimbe on hand.

The results on the left are from October. I was at about week 14 of a bulk running 500mg of Test.

Results on the right are from yesterday. I'm in a cut running 250 Test/ 250 Mast. I also ran 100mg of Tren late Jan to early Feb for about 3.5 weeks but decided it was unnecessary.

Currently also running 6mg of Reta a week.

Food between the two years has not changed besides the amount. Chicken/Rice/veggies/oats/whey Greek yogurt/berries.

Supps between the two have not changed. Citrus berg/fish oil/natt

For meds I run 80mg telmasartan, 20mg cilnidipine for high BP

There is one variable recently, stress and alcohol. Going through some serious life stuff and have leaned on the bottle lately a bit too much.

You can titrate the dose or just run one of the lipid meds. Half dose, every other day et.c. and adjust after a couple weeks if needed.

I had an LDL of 106, and I started taking 1 mg of PITA daily and within three weeks it dropped it down to 70

Damn that's impressive.

 

[just some dude]

but what is the point in giving advice?

it is a fact that the lower your LDL is, the lower your risk of an event is.

that isn’t a variable.

what is a variable is the willingness, access, and tolerance to each med.

I would guess that the tren does not suit you very well. As it would have still been effecting you at the time of the test. But could be the mast. How often have you run them in the past.

This was my first time on both. Second cycle, first was test only.

You could start the Pita now at 1 - 2 mg. Other option given what's going on in your life is to just drop to TRT Test, whatever that is for you 200 or whatever, try to manage the alcohol issue, and re-test labs on just HRT for 4 to 6 weeks. If they're still out of whack you can then start the pita, and you'll know that you def need it for the next cycle. But Tren and Mast are def not the best for lipids. And I'm sure you know this, most of us have been there, but PEDs and alcohol don't mix. Hell in my 20's I used to go out drinking while on winstrol. That's how I know all the stupid shit, I did it all myself. But in all seriousness, if you've got shit going on in your life that isn't about to let up, I would just go to HRT for now. No need to stress the body with compounds beyond HRT if you can't be all in on training, lifestyle, etc. This happens to all of us. Best thing to do is just hit up some HRT until it blows over.
