Re: How long before Arimidex should work

[Guest guest]

When I was this high it took me doing .5 mgs everyday 2 weeks to come down the 8

weeks before that I was doing .5 mgs every other day and I did not come down

into the range so it can 2 months.

Arimidex has a half life of about 48 hours which means that in 2 days after

taking it you will half of the concentration still in your system and 2 days

after that half of that and so on. Therefore taking it everyday will cause a

buildup in your system. Based on experience of men on this forum, I would not be

comfortable increasing it over what you are currently doing. Most find if you

bottom out, it takes a long time to build it back up to the range you need. Your

level is really high. Most men start out with a level of 40-50 and can work back

down to 20 in a couple weeks or so - there is not a general rule on this because

we all process differently. My guess would be it will take you about 3-4 weeks

to get down but that is really just a guess.The other thing you can do to help

is lower your T if you are on TRT.  Arkansas

I had a test for estradiol on Feb. 10 that showed a level of 130. My doctor

prescribed Arimidex and I have been taking .5 mg every other day. It will have

been one week, tomorrow, since I started taking it. I have not yet seen the

" classic " signs that E2 level is down; i.e., night and morning erections. Is

there any data on how long this should take to work given the initial very high

E2 level? At what point might I consider a daily dose of .5 mg? Thanks!

Thanks Phil. I am considering going to .5 every day, but am afraid of missing

and overshooting the sweet spot.

Thanks Dan. I may consider lowering the T a bit. Not sure. I'm currently on

100mg/week. But I doubt I really need a T lvel of 977, which is what the last

test showed.

I had a test for estradiol on Feb. 10 that showed a level of 130. My doctor

prescribed Arimidex and I have been taking .5 mg every other day. It will have

been one week, tomorrow, since I started taking it. I have not yet seen the

" classic " signs that E2 level is down; i.e., night and morning erections. Is

there any data on how long this should take to work given the initial very high

E2 level? At what point might I consider a daily dose of .5 mg? Thanks!

Then do it every other day it will just take longer but maybe not just because

it took me a long time you could be different.

Don't chase labs numbers if you feel good leave it and if you did them labs

sooner then the day of your next shot they will show higher. We all need to do

labs on the day of the next shot but before it to see how low you go.

The most recent test for both T and E2 was done the day before my scheduled

injection. I inject once each week, on Thursday.
