Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Harry, My thoughts: E2 <20 is too low, but that & Arimidex shouldn't lower T. Aromatase inhibition should raise T. It's more likely that your TRT delivery method has somehow stopped working. So your T is down, and with less T to convert to estrogens, so is your E2. Didn't you switch from Androgel to Testim a couple of months back? Could that be the problem? Bruce > > Hey guys, > I want to find out from those of you on Armidex what dosage you > use.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hey guys - I am new to the concept of Arimidex. How does it lower your T?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Try 1/4 every other day for two weeks and get a blood test to check your level then adjust accordingly. Also get a pill splitter. --- adr_59 <alexdr@...> wrote: > For those, who has some experience with Arimidex. > What would be the most conservative dosage to lower > E2 10 - 15 points? > Or is there any less powerful drug? > thanks > > > > ____________________________________________________ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 This arimidex is a powerful drug! The first time I took it I took half a tablet and felt great! Tons of energy, super strong sex drive. Had a hard on all night long. (I had trouble sleeping and was aware that I had a raging hard on most of the night.) Took another half a tablet four days later and felt like total crap! Tired, headachy, dragging around, felt slightly nauseous. All in all like a low grade flu. I waited 5 days and took another 1/2 tab (today) and feel like crap again. This is a very powerful drug! I can't imagine taking it more often. , (or anyone) how do you feel when your E2 goes too low? Does my description above ring true with your experience? The reason I wanted to try arimidex was that I have the bright red flushing of my skin on my neck and achy joints that sometimes are a sign that one's E2 is too high. These were the last numbers I rec'd prior to arimidex. Total T 569 Range 241-827 SHBG 14 Range 7-50 Free T 197 Range 34-194 T Free and Weakly Bound 405 Range 84-402 Estradiol 34 Range 10-50 Estradiol free 0.71 Range 0.30-0.90 Estradiol % free 2.08 Range 1.66-2.11 RBC 5.31 Range 4.20-5.80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
