Re: Switching from DIM to Arimidex

[Guest guest]

Yes try not taking anything for a week if you don't get some hard wood start on

the Arimidex .25 mgs every 3 days.

====================================================

How To Take Arimdex and not go down on your Estradiol to Low.

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.

I was able to get an erection with Viagra last night. Would that be possible if

I went low on my E2? I'm not sure I went too low, as I had a little bit of wood

this morning as well. So I took another .25 mg of Arimidex.

I don't know ED, I am taking two DIM daily and Arimidex about every three

days and I still haven't gone low enough to loose the wood. Everybody is

different and I suppose a lot depends where you started, I don't remember if

you said, and how fast you produce estradiol. I seem to crank it out

pretty fast. I have learned to get a feel for it in myself because I can

tell when it is up because I get emotional just want to cry like a girl over

every little thing happy or sad. But everybody is different. Best thing if

your not sure is get a blood test and find out where your at.

It sounds like your in the sweet spot as long as you have good night time and

morning wood your not to low. Hitting the sweet spot one should not need

Viagra. Unless the worry about it staying up for sex kills it. For this

problem I used Cialis 20 mgs and took it every 3 days.

The secret is bioindividuality where your body detoxifies things at different

rate from start to finish. Unfortunately no body knows how every body going to

respond so one needs to measure symptoms and look for signs. I prefer to use

iodoral instead because it seems to be more sparing on people with altered liver

metabolism.

Well it is debatable if it is good wood or not. It's not super strong, kinda

weak. My wife thinks it's amusing, the wood indicator that is. Anyways, the last

time I had real good hard wood, the kind you can hang a coat on, was about 6

months ago. I am of the feeling now, that my E2 is still a little high. I have

sent an email to my doctor indicating that I would like a blood test to measure

not only T, but free T, and E2 as well, but I have yet to hear from him.

probably over floooded your liver and need some TMG or sam-e to carry the excess

of bad estrogens out. The reaso why dim stops working is most likely due to it

effect on speific p450 enyzme with in the liver which we are just starting to

understand.

Ok, someone else told me I should take it with DIM. I will get some today and

try it. Thanks.

When this happens to me I call it half as* wood I am on the high side. The

window for the sweet spot is very small for some men. At times I get fooled

thinking I am on the high side and do labs to find out I am low. You need to

keep a log on what your doing and how your wood is. If I wake up and don't

think I had wood that night I will see if I can get it up fast and see how hard

it gets. Sounds strange but it works. Phil's Wood Gauge.
