High hematocrit and red blood cells count are what ussally make me lethargic.My last bloods showed my Estrogen was on the climb. I don’t like the probabilities.Depending on where you are in Ohio, and your willingness to travel out of state, perhaps I can introduce you to my doc. Or any endo.My last, a specialist, didn’t give an older man (me) an AI. Feeling a LOT better now. The TSH always came back within the ‘normal’ range but there’s a family history of thyroid problems and I had a ton of symptoms.I finally got the new doc to run a full thyroid panel and I fought for a testosterone test as well (fearing a pituitary problem). During our appointment he also told me he will be leaving the practice, so he might have just thrown me this to they and help on his way out. The last time I felt this good was on 40 mg/day of Dbol.I have done TRT, so the doctor I was going to cut my T down to TRT levels but didn’t give me an AI. I am currently on Test C 60mg E4D. Our culture breeds greed.Well, sir, you are an exception. I have flown to my current doc’s place in another state.Thank you for the idea, but I’ve pretty much accepted that I have to self-medicate. Thanks for all of the input guys.Depending on your dosage no arimidex, maybe 1/8th or 1/4th of a tab every couple days. I’m on a lower dose (170mg weekly) and this seems to be a side that I have to manage very actively – if I don’t donate blood like clockwork, my HCT hits the mid 50’s. Be sure to know which is which as some brands will call their oral Nolvadex either aqua-dex or liquidex. It just keeps my test levels up. But you do not want to be there and what happens there will not happen if your E2 levels are where they should be.Most guys on a typical TRT of 100mg/wk test ester will do very well with 1mg/wk of adex.I just started TRT a few weeks back. I can always tell when my estrogen is creeping up. Doctors just don’t seem to be interested in anything beyond the basics.Ok so here are my Quest Diagnostics results, can someone please tell me what this all means?What’s your Estradiol? He got mad that I questioned his authority.He actually is the best of the lot, and I’ll probably stay with him until I find someone better. This subreddit is for questions and discussion related to testosterone replacement therapy and testosterone levels. Seems a trend with Arimidex. Most men on TRT don’t even need an AI but for those who do, I’d say that the average dose is around.25-.5mg twice per week. Most don’t.
JavaScript is disabled. I've been tossing up between a lot doses such as .25mg E5D and .25 E3D at one point .25 EOD but have since found i can cut them into .125mg, would .125mg EOD be a good dose since its not too much arimidex and its also a good timing for the half life? My free T was off the charts. bone mineral problems are the big one with ai - dexa scan on 40 year old (kominiarek has dexa at trt clinic) show 80 year old man mineral level because of anastrozole). I just stopped it last week after blood results confirmed my low E2. But would love to see what people are doing in the real world.Most men on TRT don’t even need an AI but for those who do, I’d say that the average dose is around .25-.5mg twice per week.I saw that the half life was 2 days, so I would think you would need to take it 3 or 4 times as week. Then I started Ana.That’s a bit misleading, I think. Long term I probably don't need it, but I am thinking I will try and find a doc that might prescribe HCG.I have switched to sub Q, which might help smooth out the spikes a bit, but I am not keeping my fingers crossed.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castTestosterone: The male sex hormone. I have only done one dose of Arimidex so far. This subreddit is for questions and discussion related to testosterone replacement therapy and testosterone levels. I'm seeing 1mg pills of Arimidex. I have an appointment for next week so will see how my bloods look.
I can slowly feel the effects of the Arim building.Guys, you really should try a good AI with your TRT. (I was not ‘legal’ at that time, btw.) With Asin if you go overboard the Estrogen is gone and you have to wait til you "brew" a whole bunch more, which takes quite a while even as a heavy aromatizer like me. bone mineral problems are the big one with ai - dexa scan on 40 year old (kominiarek has dexa at trt clinic) show 80 year old man mineral level because of anastrozole). You should email SNS and inquire. I wouldn't dose 1mg a week if I were you though. It seemed to clear up my symptoms for s few days (bacne and Some ED), but that might have been a coincidence. I don’t like the probabilities.This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.Well, they have a fondness for lots of Ben Franklins.HH, you know I hate most doctors too. Unlike Arimidex, Asin is a suicide inhibitor so there's less rebound estrogen effect when stopping. Hope you feel better soon.plus a million for all guys above who say no ai. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that as long as the doctor knows what they are doing. Why? I generally do not see my estro go up if I am running 200/wk or less. Was on arimidex for 2 months before I realized I may have crashed my E2.
You libido can be the only indicator.
The average Arimidex dose for men on TRT is nowhere near that high. I finally marked the bloodwork order for E2 on my own, which the 2nd doctor had given me. Aromasin is another AI that is even more potent with a capability of reducing estrogen by 25% more than on the same dose of Arimidex. Nothing major. But I’m curious, do you see them as intrinsically more greedy than lawyers, CPA’s, stock brokers, and CEO’s, just to name a few? I think that .25-.5mg Arimidex the day after injection makes sense to me. It inhibits the ability of the aromatase enzyme to convert testosterone to estrogen. ).I then asked about the testosterone results and the doc had to take back her rant. I felt terrible for 3 weeks. I actually feel a lot better on the upper end up my estrogen than lower.I am not a medical Dr, please keep in mind that this answer is for information purposes only, and is not intended to diagnose, treat or replace sound medical advice from your physician or health care provider.
I contacted them yesterday and says about everything. I don’t, I think they’re all greedy, some just worse than others.
