Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 In order to get the best libido you need to get your Total Testosteone up into the upper 1/3 of your labs range then go from there by how you feel. And you need to keep your Estradiol E2 levels down to about 20 pg/ml or were your getting your strongest night time and morning wood. Then as you keep them levels in time your libido will come back it's for some men a slow process. If I were you I would stop the Arimidex with you lose wood until it comes back then go back on the Arimidex but do less of it. Right now you would do good to stop it for a week then go back on it every 3 days. Read this cut and paste I did on how not to go to low. And you need to be sure your Adrenals are good and your Thyroid read this. http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/adrenal-fatigue/ If you have a thyroid problem you can have low Iron problems and your skin can become thicker and gels don't get through the skin well and you can't get good levels. If you find this is a problem switch to shots starting with 100 mgs every week. ========================================================================== What I found is if you go to low taking arimidex, it's the length of time your to low, if your too low say for 8 weeks it can take your body a longer time to make more Estradiol. Bottom line is to know how not to go to low. Keep a log on your dose and how you feel men going to low can't get it up taking Viagra. I went to low when I first tried Arimidex and did not know about going to low or how one feels to low, so I was low a good 8 weeks. I did not know I was low until my next labs. The best gage I have found to control your Estradiol levels is to gage your night time and morning wood. At good levels or what I call the sweet spot you get your night time and morning wood back so strong it will wake you up and you can hang a coat on it. Most men do good taking .25 mgs or 1/4 of a 1mg. pill, I use a pill cutter to cut the small pill in half then I stand it on the cut end and use a single edge razor to cut this in half. A good way to take arimidex is by how high your levels are. I tested over 90 pg/ml so we tried doing .5 mgs every other day after 8 weeks my next set of labs showed it did not move below 90, test said >90. So we did .5 mgs. every day in about 2 weeks I got some strong night time and morning wood back after not having them for many yrs. I kept doing this dose and in 8 weeks my next set of labs said <20 back in the day labs were like this they did not have to good labs we have today they could not read lower the 20. My Dr. told me this looks to low to stop taking the Arimidex. The one thing I noticed was my wood stopped and stopping the Arimidex my wood came back in about 7 weeks my next test at 8 weeks was 24 pg/ml. So we went back on the Arimidex but the Dr. told me to take .5 mgs every 3 days I was on this dose not a week and lost wood. This is when I figured out going to low you lose wood. And the longer your too low the longer it takes to get levels back up. I stopped the arimidex right away and got my wood back in 4 days. I then after playing with the dose for a time found the best dose is .25mgs every 2 to 3 days. So lets say your labs are less the 50 pg/ml if your take .5 mgs you can go down so dam fast your miss the sweet spot of your wood and go to low. It's best with lower levels 50 and under to do less Arimidex .25mgs every 2 days if later your lose wood when it comes back go to every 3 days. I have found estradiol is the hardest hormone to control, it goes up or down from month to month some times I need .25mgs every 2 days other times I need ..25mgs everyday most of the time I do well on every 3 days. So between wood and labs I do great and so do most of the men I have told this to. I keep a log on how much I am taking and how I feel. Doing this and reading back in my log I was able to tell when I was going to high or to low my Dr. lets me dose my arimidex by how I feel. Over the yrs. I have posted this story until I am blue in the face.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 After seeing several cases of hypogonadism The healthy ranges I have seen are TT 550-750 shbg 20 e2 sensitive 20-25 This are all healthy if your thyroid and adrenals are also in check Are you 21 years old because most Dr's are too lazy to look for the root cause and just condemn you to TRT for life when later on down the road you end up shooting your self in the foot.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 OK thanks guys, so it can take a while for libido to come back once ive found the sweet spot. It can be very confusing. For instance, i havnt had an arimidex for 3 days now. I got morning wood yesterday, but otherwise felt pretty bad. Now on the day that im due to take the Arimidex (day 3) the morning wood is gone. Is there a chance that im still a bit too low? > > > > > > Over the yrs.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Also just to clarify Pmgamer18, do you think I should keep taking 1/4 tab every 3 days (considering ive just dropped from 1/4 every 2 to every 3 days) or drop down to every 3 days and also drop the dose down to say 1/8th of a tab instead of 1/4? What is confusing is that I stopped taking the Arimdex because I felt I was going too low, then 2 days later the wood came back (yesterday) and now today after i still havnt taken Arimdex, the wood is gone. > > > > > > > > Over the yrs.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Some times I need to add a .25 pill in the middle of the week I just did this today. I had one yesterday morning and this morning I had wood but it was weak and I feel hot and short of breath this tells me I needed a little more. My next pill will be Fri.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 No don't try 1/8 of a pill I just replyed to your post but to add more stopping 2 days a go do you mean 2 days ago when you were due to take the pill you did not take it and it's been about 5 days sence you took it. Estradiol for some of us can rebound fast it happens to me you got your wood back if it's been 5 days off the Arimidex then it rebounds on you and you lose it. This is why I tell me when they stop and get there wood back that do go back on the pill.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Phil, I mean that I switched to taking it every 3 days....I took the first one, then after another 2 days I lost my wood and felt like I was going too low. So it had only been 2 days when I lost my wood from when I last took it. Also I have an update. I took 1/8 of a pill yesterday and this morning I had very good wood. > > > > > > > > > > > > Over the yrs.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Well I will have to try this my levels shot way up last night and I had a bad Panic Attack this is what happens to me when my levels go to high. I might try taking 1/8 of a pill everyday. I do good for a time doing .25mgs every other day but 2 weeks ago I went to low lost wood and when I go low I lose it it dose not happen slow it's gone. So I have been taking .25 mgs every 3 days and with out warning my levels shot way up last night.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yes try it Phil and see what happens. I have another question regarding the half life of Arimidex. You say to aim for 1/4 over 3 days. Whats the highest number of days you can go between pills before it starts getting interupted by the half life? In another post of yours Phil, you said you can go up to 5 days....is this correct? It seems that I may only need a small amount of Arimidex and will end up having trouble if I need to drop below 1/8 of a pill. Or it seems that I swing violently through the sweet spot from high to low?? Thanks for you help Phil, appreciate it... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Over the yrs.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes the half like is about 4 days but everyone if different for some it might last longer then 4 days or less. Right now after taking a 1mgs pill yesterday I am still on the high side I had strong wood this morning and feel like I am on the edge of having a panic attack so I had to take .5 mgs more. I am settling here waiting for it to work I hate the feeling it the worst thing I every felt and I can't stand it. It has you in such a state you don't know what to do with your self. It is not a big problem going to low and right now I am trying to drive my E2 in the ground to stop this panic feeling. Then trick to going to low is to catch it fast and just stop taking the arimidex. You know when your levels come back up you get some dam strong night time and morning wood this is the day you go back on it but take less.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Good luck with that Phil...it doesnt sound very pleasant. I see what you mean about the E2 rebounding... I dont get panic attacks when my E2 goes too high, I just feel gross. I had some good wood last night, and a little bit this morning. So it seems for me I have all round been going too low, as the less Arimidex I take, the more frequent the morning wood. Its almost every second day now that I get morning wood, and it would seem the optimal dose for me will be somewhere around 1/8 of a pill every second day which equates to 1/4 every 4 days I guess. Theres still no sign of libido whatsoever. Will keep you posted and thanks for your help Phil... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Over the yrs. > > I have > > > > posted this story > > > > > > > until I am blue > > > > > > > > > > in the face. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Links > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Â Â -fullfeatured > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes your getting there in the last 2 days I have taken 1.5 mgs and still I have wood. So it must be the new batch of Novarel HCG I just mixed and the new vial of Depo T I started on in the last 3 days. I will have to keep an eye on this see how it goes. People that are prone to panic attacks going high on E2 levels will feel like you having one and bring one on.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 So if the half life is 4 days, then there will be a bit of a knock on effect from the pills you too prior to that 4 days as it accumulates in your body, is this right? I read on some drug information on Arimdex that it takes 10 days to reach stable levels in your body. So I may be still getting rid of some of the excess I had accumlated up to ten days ago.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 http://www1.astrazeneca-us.com/pi/arimidex.pdf The half life was around 2 days but the testing was with women.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yep thats what my site is telling me too - 50hr half life. It says " Consistent with the 50 hour plasma elimination half-life, plasma concentrations of anastrozole approach steady-state concentrations after 7 days of once daily dosing " So its 7 days until you get level going by that. I dont know if that is just when you start the drug, but you would think this would also be true if you were altering your dose aftering using it for some time. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Over the yrs. > > > I have > > > > > posted this story > > > > > > > > until I am blue > > > > > > > > > > > in the face. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- ------ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Links > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >   - fullfeatured > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- ------ > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I sent an Email about this problem and have not heard back from them. But when you open a message you should be able to scroll down and read all the replys. When I did a search the topic came up but when I hit next or last I lose it. If you read the message that comes up they say they are having a problem and working on it.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yes and No every thing out there about Arimidex is for women the half life all of it is about women. For some men that half life can last longer or less time. Most men starting on Arimidex due to high levels don't have night time and morning wood and most have ED. Going on Arimidex to get this down the first thing to come back is night time and morning wood. Some men get there Dr. to give them Arimidex but tell them to take a pill a day they go down so dam fast they miss the wood. All one can do is stop taking it as there levels come back up they get the wood. I tell me when this happens go on the Arimidex but only take .25 mgs every 2 or 3 days. I have to switch from every 3 days to every 2 days because my levels go to high and some times I can't tell until I have a panic attack. Some men like myself swing up and down on Estradiol levels from time to time and need to adjust the med to keep in the zone.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Dr. says it's 3 to 4 days but the half life means nothing some men only need to take .25 mgs every 7 days.
