Arimidex How Much to Take.

[Guest guest]

Just to update everyone I got my E2 Estradiol to low so I stopped

taking it for 5 weeks. A test over a month ago showed my levels up

to 48 from <20. So I started back on it taking .5 mgs. every 10

days. I have a blood test and seen the Dr. last week but the E2

test was not back. I was due to take a .5 Arimidex last Fri. and

did Not more then 6 hrs. later I was feeling very fatigued worst

then ever and last night I lost my libido and was unable to have

sex. This morning I am breaking out in sweats and very fatigued. I

don't think I can take this med. This morning I did not take the

Zinc I have been taking daily 50 mgs. My be there is something

other then Arimidex that I can take.

Recently, I started having difficulty getting and keeping erections

despite using Androgel and Viagra. After reading some of the

messages on this board that too low of E2 could adversly affect

getting erections, I decided to cut out my zinc supplements and

within about a week, my erections returned to about the level they

had been previously. I cannot account for anything else that would

have caused this. Unfortunately, I have had no blood tests to

confirm this. But I do believe that all that zinc I have been taking

was starting to have a negative effect on my efforts to repair my ED.

I agree with your doctor about continuing with Zinc. IMO, the reason

you keep crashing is because you're overdosing on Arimidex. It has

nothing to do with Zinc. As far as an anti-aromatase, Arimidex is about

100 times more powerful than Zinc.

However, Zinc serves many other functions. Zinc plays important roles

in supporting the pituitary, the prostate and T function.

Why do you keep taking 0.5 mg at a time? From what I can see, that's

way too high a dosage for you to take at one time.

I get that (ringing in the ears) when my T is over the top of the range

(i.e., supraphysiologic).

Thanks I told my Dr. about lowing the dose but he wants to wait and see

the blood test Quest is now over 2 weeks in getting my E2 result back. I called

my Dr. today and they said they are having trouble with Quest and getting my

test back. To many people have probelms with Quest I am going back to my old

lab even if the E2 only goes down to <20 anything under 25 is to low anyway.
