Re: New here, intro and a question about Arimidex

[Guest guest]

Hi duffman and welcome,

Your in good hands with this Dr. you don't want to be on TRT if you don't need

it. I feel your going down to low on the Estradiol taking Arimidex we cut the

pills into 4 parts and only take .25 mgs every 2 to 3 days to keep Estradiol

levels in the sweet spot that being getting good night time and morning wood.

Here are some copys of files I made about how to do this.

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

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.

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

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)

..

----------------------------------------------------

Then there is HCG or Clomid you can go on HCG shots if your testis work good

this will act like the LH message sent to your testis from your Pituitary that

tells them to make T and this will not shut you down like TRT would you can stop

HCG and your testis will just do what they were doing.

I've read one study where older men in their 60's were treated with low-dose

Arimidex and it did increase their testosterone levels It's possible that

Arimidex will increase it to 20.

Hi all

I'm 23 and have been feeling more like a 75 y/o for many years now. I think the

cause of this is from having pretty bad genetics and/or having abused

recreational drugs at a very young age.

I live in Australia and have also been going to dr to dr and even an endo for

many years with frustration as they weren't experienced or educated enough to

treat me so would always put it down to some kind of cop out like CFS or

depression is the cause of it all.

My main symptoms that have been the most troubling have always been chronic

fatigue and headaches, but the list goes on from digestive issues to frequent

pissing having to go all the time worse than a girl.

After years of disappointment and frustration from dr's and watching my life

stay the same shitty way i decided to bite the bullet and save up to go see a

very expensive ($500 a session not including bloods wich is like anther $500)

anti-aging/wholisti c dr who was recommended on a forum.

He tested for everything and the results were high estrogen, low testosterone

(but within range), high RT3, candida and mild heamocromitosis (iron overload).

His treatment plan diet to eliminate candida, small doses 15mcg of slow release

T3 to lower RT3, monthly vienesections (blood drainings) for iron overload, and

1g of arimidex twice a week to lower e2 and get rid of mild gyno/puffy nipples.

I asked what about for low testosterone he said no testosterone cream is for the

rest of your life and i'm young and it dangerous and went on about it. But when

i thought about it a little it seems smart as all of my conditions could be

causing the low test and it is not clinically low 14nmpol with the range of 9 -

30 he said i should be in-between 20 - 30. I'm sure if it doesn't improve and

all options are exhausted he will prescribe it but we will see.

******end of intro/background* ***

Now to my question about arimidex what are the long term side effects of this

drug so far I've herd rumors of e2 receptors becoming more sensitive and it

causing arthritis by dissolving joints any truth to all this?

I have been on 1mg twice a week and my puffy nipples didn't go away now taking

0.5mg EOD and now thinking of upping it to 0.5 ED cause still have puffy nipples

and would like higher testosterone levels but this is now going to be self

medication as i don't go to my anti-aging dr until anther 2 months as requested

as it's too expensive.
