    Aromatase inhibitors, too much of a good thing?

    I'm supplementing 540mg test/wk with the addition of 1mg arimidex /ed. The prescription dex comes 1 mg so that's how I have taken it. I'm not holding a bunch of water, so I know the dex is doing it's AI thing, but my libido is not crazy high. Is it possible that I'm taking too much arimidex and that is keeping my libido in check. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of wood but not like some of the crazy stuff I hear about here. The test is pharm, so there is no question of legitimacy/strength.

    Would Proviron be a better choice for me?
    Should I dose my arimidex 1mg/eod instead of ed? The pills are tiny and I'm not sure if I can split them.

    I am taking 1mg eod and 1/2 eod = .75mg. I am going off cycle and with
    arimidex@anastrozole I don't think I need any thing else. Hell, my balls feel
    swollen. Growing like a M.F.er. If it works don't fix it. I asume you have the
    AstraZeneca brand. Nod! Nod!

    I'd go with Proviron , unless your really prone to water retention and gyno and type II AI isnt needed.

    Proviron will also only do positive things for ones sex drive. Unlike other AI's.

    It works but I'd like it to be working more often....

    Yes the AZ brand. How do you split yours into 1/2's? Those things are tiny pills.

    This is my 1st go at exo test so I have no basis for being gyno prone or not. I chose the dex because of it's ability to block most aromitization and keep me drier while on.

    Is it appropriate to just switch up, like stop taking one while starting another the same day, or should there be some overlap?

    Could also just drop the dex and go with nolva. What do you think?

    You can buy a pill splitter from any Drug Store like Walgreens. They cost
    a few bucks. You have to ask for it. Pills are very small.

    I'd just stop one and start the other. I cant see a problem really. As Arimdex can reduce estrogen by 50% there may be a slight rebound effect after stopping it. The Proviron will help to reduce any sides this may bring but, I'd add some Nolva 20mg/ED for 2-3 weeks just to be on the safe side. I cant see a problem, but its best to be safe. This is the approach I'd do.

    Then drop the Nolva and go with Proviron only at 25-50mg/ED for the duration of your cycle and PCT.

    Hmmmm, interesting. That would then be a pct of chlomid/proviron with nothing else?
    HCG weeks 12-14 on cycle and week 1 PCT 500iu e3d???
    Why no nolva thru PCT?

    I use HCG/Proviron/Nolve for PCT. Like this:

    wk 1-3 HCG 1000ius/ED (Mon/Wed/Fri)
    wk 1-5 Nolva 20mg/ED
    wk 1-5 Proviron 50mg/ED

    Its worked for me, though, results will differ from person to person.

    It gives me emotional and vision problems. I am blind in my right eye so you can imagine how vision blurriness can effect me greatly.
