Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hey group, Has anyone either experienced or worked with someone who has experienced side effects from low dose arimidex? These include heart palpatations and insomnia. If so, were you able to do anything to remedy these? Thanks, -- Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I notice I am a bit horny the day after I take Arimedex. I wonder if others notice this side effect. It doesn't effect my sleep, but coffee or chocolate does. From: dcbaden@... Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 05:56:17 +0000 Subject: Re: Arimidex side effects I have terrible insomnia, so I'm very sensitive to anything that might disrupt my sleep. Arimidex has had no effect. I thought it was giving me headaches but I doubt it now as I haven't had a headache in about 3 weeks. I haven't noticed any side effects. > > Hey group, > > Has anyone either experienced or worked with someone who has experienced > side effects from low dose arimidex?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 THanks Phil. Unfortunately, my doc doesn't know what to do either. Out of the hundreds of patients he has treated with arimidex, I am the only one who has problems with it like this. DIM doesn't work for me, can't stay on arimidex and I read Chillin's post but my adrenals are well supported and I'm on pregnenalone and progestereone and I still have very high E2. So, not sure what to do at this point.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Wow now I find Aroasin works better for me then Arimidex. I think you need to try chilln's " Hormones 101 " it lowered my estradiol levels to below normal but I was on Arimidex. Now I only take one half a Aroasin every 3 to 5 days this is a lot less then the one mgs./day of Arimidex I was doing. I started on Preg. cream my labs were tested first both Preg. and Prog. were low after 2 weeks on Preg. cream my labs went up to 117. http://www.musclechatroom.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?2-All-Things-Male & s= & dayspr\ une= Read this talk to Dr. M about this. I had to stop the Preg. cream I went to high over the top of the range. But when this happened I was on Prog. cream. My Dr. thinks it back filled into Preg. because of all the CoQ10 I am on for Statin Drug damage to my joints and muscles. http://www.iherb.com/Life-Flo-Health-Organic-Living-Pregnenolone-2-oz-57-g/15119\ ?at=0 Co-Moderator Phil > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ...Dr. Mark Gordon has some > solid > > > research that > > > > > substantiates that zinc > > > > > > > > does lower estrogen in > men at > > > those > > > > > doses... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have > been > > > removed] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 The thing that sucks is that aside from the heart issue, I felt a lot better on aromasin too. Oh well, such is life I guess.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 So do I it kills Aromatase so you do not come back as fast as you do with arimidex not rebound effet so maybe all you need is it once in a week to 10 days. How long after taking it do you feel better.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I stick my anastrozole under my tongue and sometimes it goes to work within a few minutes eliminating the really nasty symptoms first. Full effect takes a few hours as it has to still absorb the rest through the gut and it takes a little time for my own testosterone production to pick up. -Nigel On 24 February 2011 12:34, philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> wrote: > > > So do I it kills Aromatase so you do not come back as fast as you do with > arimidex not rebound effet so maybe all you need is it once in a week to 10 > days.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I tend to go hypo when my estradiol goes up and killing the excess estradiol with anastrozole tends to give a slight thyroid dump. Just like it gets into my cells better and I don't feel hyper from this. Perhaps that's what's going on with you and it's possible to drop thyroid down a bit before trying an aromatase inhibitor so free T3 drops down a bit. Maybe your doctor can help on that... I mean, I can't tell you what to do. -Nigel On 24 February 2011 08:40, Rouse <michael.hugh.rouse@...>wrote: > So, took my third dose of aromasin and nearly killed myself.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Mike, do you metabolise drugs unusually quick? I clear through things very quickly. Per symptoms, steroids like Medrol and Florinef don't even last a full work day and HC is only working for me for about three hours and then it's quite simply left for good from my body. I also clear out T4 unusually quick and think I convert most of a dose over to T3 within a couple days. I'm also particularly sensitive to certain hormones or drugs peaking very soon and causing excess symptoms at first. This is mostly why I take .125 mg doses of anastrozole. For the first few hours after taking it I'm actually too low only to go up to about optimal a few hours later. Then I'm fairly stable for about a day, feel good and then I'm too high all too soon. I wonder if the drug hitting the body all at once causes things to go awry. -Nigel On 24 February 2011 11:34, Rouse <michael.hugh.rouse@...>wrote: > The thing that sucks is that aside from the heart issue, I felt a lot > better > on aromasin too.
