Guest guest Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I wish you were on Aromasin Femara is the strongest AI out there and will kill your libdo. This AI will work in 2 hrs last 3 to 4 days. As for your levels a week after the shot they are very low it's when levels fall this low we feel like crap on Shots. What dose is your shot and how offten do you get them. http://www.ehow.com/about_6732262_femara-side-effects-men.html http://bodybuilding.elitefitness.com/letrozole-bodybuilders-femara I am doing much better on Aromasin taking only 12.5 mgs or 1/2 a pill every 3 to 5 days it helps keep Chol. levels good and keep IGF-1 levels up.
