Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hello all, i have a question re.side effects of arimidex. Because of high estrogen, I was prescribed arimidex 1/4 of a pill, 2 times per week. I took the first dosage (1/4 of a pill) this week and felt nauseated. I know that nausea is one of the side effects of arimidex, at the same time i did not expect to have this kind of reaction on such a small dosage. My doctor also told me he does not expect me to have any side effects. Is there anything that can be done regarding this side effect? Can i expect that my body will adjust as i continue on it? Thanks in advance for any advice, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Mark did you take the pill with food if not try this. I never had this problem and it's the first time I ever heard this. Still I would give it time Dr. says it takes 5 weeks to stabilize in your body. How bad was this.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Some men, including me, are very sensitive to Arimidex. While I never had nausea, I found that a dose like you are taking took my E2 far too low very quickly. I would suggest you ask your doctor about taking a lower dose, and see if that helps with the nausea. Then, get tested for E2 after a month or so, and see where you stand. You may find that the lower dose is plenty, but if not, you can gradually increase it. > > Hello all, > > i have a question re.side effects of arimidex. > Because of high estrogen, I was prescribed arimidex 1/4 of a pill, 2 times per week.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 This is true I need .25mgs everyday but some men do not need this much and even doing on .25mg pice of Arimidex will take them to low. To over come this problem I did Indolplex/DIM back in the day when .25 mgs of Arimidex every 5 days was taking me to low. Still I gage my levels by my night time and morning wood. Going to low taking a pill will not get it up. Chilln at Dr. 's gets his Arimidex then takes it and has it Compounded he and others do great on this here is a cut and paste. ==================================================== Most compounding pharmacies will require a prescription from a doctor, before they do this. Once your prescription says " 300 caps x 0.1mg " or " 600 caps x 0.05mg " anastrozole " from 1 to 4 daily " , (anastrozole = generic arimidex) then they will compound your arimidex, or generic anastrozole, and they will usually supply the arimidex as compounded into the caps you require. My compounding pharmacist was prepared to allow me to supply the arimidex too. If you have several boxes of arimidex in your cupboard, then you may want to ask your pharmacist to do this for you. If you don't have any arimidex stores, then just let the compounding pharmacy supply the whole lot. ### A pack of 30 tabs of 1.0mg arimidex will give 300 caps at 0.1mg-per-cap, or 600 caps at 0.05mg-per-cap. So if your pharmacy chooses to supply arimidex as opposed to generic anastrozole, then your pharmacy will most likely not agree to only charge you for a half-a-box of arimidex, and most likely they'll charge for a whole box, even if your prescription says 300 caps at 0.05mg-per-cap (total of 15mg).

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi Phil, thanks for your response I took it right after lunch, so maybe next time i will try to take it during lunch. Hopefully my body just needs time to adjust. The neausea was not so bad but still lasted for the day. You do not have any side effect after taking it?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Mark the only side effect I ever has was going down to low on my Estradiol levels and when this happens your low night time and morning wood have joint and muscle pain and if your levels are to low for to long you can get some bone loss. When one does a search on sides they get links to sides women have taking the full dose 1mg everyday. http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-4511-Arimidex+Oral.aspx?drugid=4511 & drugname=Ari\ midex+Oral Co-Moderator Phil > From: kronmark03 <kronmark03@...> > Subject: Re: Nauseated on Arimidex > > Date: Saturday, July 10, 2010, 8:12 AM > Hi Phil, > thanks for your response > I took it right after lunch, so maybe next time i will try > to take it during lunch.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi Phil. I would like to understand what you meant by saying in your message " To over come this problem I did Indolplex/DIM back in the day when .25 mgs of Arimidex every 5 days was taking me to low " . Did you skip arimidex on some days and took Dim instead? What is the purpose of this adjustment?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Mark no I stopped taking Arimidex and switched to Indolplex/DIM if you keep feeling sick on Arimidex switch to Indolplex/DIM try to get this brand it has to have Indolplex in the name. http://www.iherb.com/Enzymatic-Therapy-Pure-Rip-with-DIM-60-Tablets/12814?at=0 Try taking one table at dinner time here is a copy of a file I made about this. ==================================================== ALL ABOUT DIM. Sure here is a few links that are all about it. But there are a lot of Co.'s out there selling DIM that don't work well. Indolplex/DIM is the best it dose not get killed in your stomach when you take it. Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a stable indole found in cruciferous vegetables which promotes a beneficial estrogen metabolism in both women and men. http://www.dimfaq.com/index.htm in this link it's full of links about it. http://qualitycounts.com/fpdim.html http://www.jbc.org/content/278/23/21136.full If you have DIM in caps it's not Indolplex so to take this and to get it to work open the cap pore the DIM into a spoon add some Olive oil and take it this helps to keep it from getting killed in your stomach. The following is some links to where you can buy Indolplex/DIM. http://www.vitaglo.com/e5336.html http://www.vitacost.com/EnzymaticTherapyEstroBalancewithDIM/searchby-PN/searchte\ xt-dim http://www.iherb.com/Enzymatic-Therapy-Pure-Rip-with-DIM-60-Tablets/12814?at=0 http://www.iherb.com/Enzymatic-Therapy-Pure-Rip-with-DIM-60-Tablets/12814?at=0 http://www.estrobalance.net/ http://www.easyhealthzone.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PP0108 & click=71 http://www.nbizz.com/longevityclinic/listings/213.html http://www.drugnatural.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD & Store_Code=DMOS & Product_\ Code=156497 http://www.smartbomb.com/itindo9.html?utm_source=mercent & utm_medium=shopcompare & \ utm_content=itindo9 & utm_campaign=mbsdb & mr:trackingCode=C6AEFBD1-E681-DE11-B7F3-0\ 019B9C043EB & mr:referralID=NA http://www.ritecare.com/cgi-bin/cart.pl?db=product_db.dat & category=natural+medic\ ine & method=any_words & search=iti-75336 http://www.naturamart.com/phytopharmica-pms-formula-with-indoplex-120-caps.html How to take Indolplex/DIM take one tablet 120 mgs at dinner time it can take 2 weeks to 2 months to get your Estradiol levels down it’s all about how high you are in your levels. What you need to do is get this down to about 20 pg/ml. When you get this low your night time and morning wood will come back so strong it will wake you up this means most of the time your at your best levels or what I call the sweet spot. Keep taking the DIM but if your wood stops your going down to low so just stop taking it. The day your wood comes back go back on the DIM but cut the tablet in half. If your Testosterone was tested and low but your not on TRT get it tested again you might find your levels came up some 200 to 300 points. http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/89/3/1174 Co-Moderator Phil > From: kronmark03 <kronmark03@...> > Subject: Re: Nauseated on Arimidex > > Date: Saturday, July 10, 2010, 7:45 PM > Hi Phil. > I would like to understand what you meant by saying in your > message > " To over come this problem I did Indolplex/DIM back in the > day when .25 mgs of Arimidex every 5 days was taking me to > low " . Did you skip arimidex on some days and took Dim > instead? What is the purpose of this adjustment? > Thanks > Mark > > > > > > > > > > Hello all, > > > > > > > > i have a question re.side effects of > arimidex. > > > > Because of high estrogen, I was prescribed > arimidex > > > 1/4 of a pill, 2 times per week. I took the > first > > > dosage (1/4 of a pill) this week and felt > nauseated. I > > > know that nausea is one of the side effects of > arimidex, at > > > the same time i did not expect to have this kind > of reaction > > > on such a small dosage. My doctor also told me > he does > > > not expect me to have any side effects. Is > there > > > anything that can be done regarding this side > effect? > > > Can i expect that my body will adjust as i > continue on > > > it? > > > > > > > > Thanks in advance for any advice, > > > > > > > > Mark > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
