Thoughts on Arimidex dosing?

[Spideog]

Currently on a 600mg test blast. This time I have issues controlling E2. Taking 0.5mg of Adex twice weekly but E2 seems to start rebounding the day after I take Adex. How do I go about this? Increase Adex dosage to EOD or use exemastane?

Are you it’s the the other way around. That your test is crashing. Get blood work and you’ll know for sure. If you want to be. Heap and play guinea pig. Try a full adex which and gauge from there. Dude E2 test cost like 15-$20

Not in this country.

If you are not going to get bloodwork, how are we suppose to tell you how to go about this? Your the one that will have to feel it out and play with dosing until you find what works. There is no one size fits all here.

Just as a genuine wuestion/observarion;

Why choose arimidex? From my reading, Arimidex working means that your testosterone has already been converted to a form of estrogen. Where as aromasin stops the conversion, so wouldn’t that mean your total and possible free test levels are therfor higher which is probably more desirable in a mass gaining phase?

I'm sorry but I believe this is just a poor excuse and nothing else. What kind of country doesn't allow you to privately get your blood work done through a private clinic? Sounds to me like you're trying to save some dough where you shouldn't. You can afford steroids yet you can't spend money to monitor your health, so you rather risk and go by feels. You're playing with fire. Those threads of yours reflect that. That's the problem.

My man, it takes a lot of experience to be accurate by feelz. I felt absolutely no difference between 24 and 106 estradiol. I was fine in both cases, no sides at all.. i don't trust my "feels" at this point, maybe after some years i'll learn to interpret hormone levels but until then i will only trust what the lab says.

And it sucks, because i'm 6 months "enhanced" and i've spent on bloodwork more money than actual PEDs. But i don't regret it because i'm doing the best i can not for the community nor for anyone else's sake but for me.

I think without bloodwork you're just shooting in the dark, nonetheless i hope you'll find the solution you want. Be safe!

Arimidex is an AI, just like exemstane and letrozole. It's not a SERM

I prefer arimidex myself. Aromasin in theory is superior. My personal experience, arimidex works better for me. Its easier for me to find the balance.

I do use them both at different times for different scenarios.

There are several states in the US where you can’t order your own bloodwork. You need a prescription by your doctor.

Wow, that's crazy. It shouldn't be like this in free country, I guess freedom is subjective sometimes.

I know it’s not a SERM, but arimidex still need for aromatase to have completed its action on testosterone before becoming effective.

I’m certainly nit fighting or arguing, it’s just a thing I’ve always wondered about.

 

[Deezznutzz]

Everyone is different but I need 0.5mg arimidex for every 200 mg of testosterone. So if you're too lazy to get blood work I would at least split that into two dosages and take 1mg Arimidex with each 300 mg shot of testosterone.

I recently switched from aromasin to arimadex and prefer it much more. It's more forgiving on e2 and its very hard to fuck up using it. Just works better for me.

This confuses me. Can you explain? Arimidex binds to the aromatase enzyme so testosterone cant.

 

[Spideog]

To simplify my question.

If I take 0.5mg of Adex it lasts about 1-2 days and then high e2 symptoms start to come. Thirstier, not pissing much, itchy nips. So I’m just going to increase dosage frequency to eod.

I don’t use arimidex. So I’m only asking. It it binds to aromatase, where as aromasin kills aromatase. It’s called a suicidal AI in some descriptions. So what happens when arimidex unbinds from estrogen? People talk an out rebounds and shit as it unbinds when it’s life passes. But then by that logic you’d need an increasing dose of arimidex?

Am I misunderstand how it works? I’ve only ever used aromasin to control my levels. 12.5mg every 5 days keeps me slightly high. I prefer my e2 high than low. Heart and Brain care and all that.

They both bind in the same way, it's just that arimidex only binds temporarily but exemstane binds forever. To prevent a rebound from arimidex, you don't need ever increasing doses. Instead, a regularly administered dose is needed so any newly freed aromatase can be occupied by the circulating arimidex. For the record, I've never had any kind of rebound type thing on adex.

So eod - e3d dosing would be enough?

I'd go eod. Half life is between 30 and 60 hours, so go on the shorter side of things considering your issues
