You'll never know which one is working and by how much. You need to be scientific about it. Start with the Indolplex for 2 or 3 weeks and get blood tests (T, total & free and E2) before and after. That will tell you if it's working for you. If it works, then you won't need Arimidex. But if you insist on Arimidex when Indolplex works for you, you need to gradually take a small dosage of Arimidex and test to measure it's effect. As you know from reading all the postings in this group it's very easy to OD on Arimidex and it takes a long time to recover. See my primer article 7 of 8 entitled Adjusting DIM Dosage.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Norton now you can help me what dose of Arimidex are you on and what are you test result doing this. I was thinking about doing this but stopping the Arimidex. I am on Testim 10 grams per day and take .25 mgs of Arimidex every 5 days. My last test came back my E2 was 21.1 the blood test was taking 2 days after taking the pill.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 is right it says on the Arimidex insert not to take any aromatase inhibitors when taking Arimidex. I am going to try taking the Indoplex with DIM from PhytoPharmica but I need to get my DHT down first. Trying a new med with my fissy prostate had me voiding very slow and if it was not for my taking a Cranberry tables I would have bladder infections again. So it is one thing at time.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Good luck with that.

They slow down my going pee. My Dr. gave me a new med Straterra I guess he was not thinking but one of the main side effects is slow urine. Now that I stopped it my urine is still slow. So my Dr. said that maybe my prostate acts like this because my DHT is so high. I am 140 the range is 25 to 75. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Phil, Since your DHT is so high, have you considered taking Nettle. It works in 2 ways. It lowers SHBG and also lowers DHT. This way it would increase your free T as well as help your prostate. I would have liked to take it to increase my free T, but my DHT is low and Nettle would lower this for me too. > Phil, > > Why do you need to get your DHT down?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 First my Dr. wants me to try Saw Palmetto when I was looking for it I found a lot of mix's that had Nettle in it. But he said to use pure Saw Palmetto. Plus my free t is just over the top of the range. Getting my E2 down it went way up.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 My 2 Cents, I think you should try DIM, the one Z mentioned as it will keep your E2 down and lower your DHT. The topics and discussions have been awesome the last little while, just want to say thanks to everyone, for sharing all the great information. Thanks!!! > > Phil, > > > > Why do you need to get your DHT down?
