    arimidex Vs. Nolvadex!!!

    wassup guys...ive been taking nolvadex @ 20mg/per day for the past 2 weeks...I recently got a hold of Arimidex 1mg..i know Arimidex is supposedly superior to Nolvadex, but i would like to hear some input...Also how much Arimidex should i take, and Allsoooooo should i stop the nolva if i start arimidex...THANKS

    PS-keep in mind that i have puberty induced gyno...therefore i am most probably prone to it!!!

    well they both have a different reaction when used. One is a antagonist and one is a anti-aromatase.

    one helps with keeping the conversion of estrogen down and the other stops estrogen from binding to the receptor site.


    together they are good but most can get away with running one or the other. I run both of them if I have them on hand.

    10-20 mg for the nolva
    .25ed or .5 eod for the arimidex
    or .5 ed-1mg ed for the arimidex
    just depends on the person.

    if you are prone run the higher doses that abstrack posted

    i would run .5mg l-dex
    and 20-25mg nolva

    make sure to start these 2 weeks b4 cycle so they are stable in the blood b4 you start your cycle

    And also I think the doses you are planning to us for your cycle can affect the dose of armidex you use. I like armidex because it doesn't have a estrogen rebound and it raises natural testosterone levels .

    You should be fine, you won't/shouldn't grow a lump in a couple of days. But definately use them both. If you should increase your mg/week or add another compound during this cycle, then increase the arimidex as well.

    I dont mean to hijack this dudes thread but its pertaining the subject matter, so I guess I'm really not. Anyway, I should increase l-dex for a var additiion since it doesnt aromatize, right?

    No, I should have been more clear. Up the L-dex when you increase your mg/day of an aromitizing compound or add another aromitizing compound. more free floating test = more estrogen.

    Thanks for the help though.
