What to use instead of Arimidex?

[Myalansky]

What could I use instead of Arimidex DURING the Test Enan cycle?

- week 1-12 Test Enan (1000mg 1st week; 500mg other weeks)

2 weeks after last shoot PCT:
- Clomid (200mg 1st day; 50 mg last 20 days)
- Nolvadex (20mg day)

This will be my 1st cycle. (I`m 22, 188cm, 78kg). I cannot get Arimidex here and it is expensive anyway. Could I use Nolva both during the cycle and in PCT?
Thanks

Yep....10-20mg nolva ED should suffice.

Thanks, and should I take Nolva in this 2 week period too (between last injection and PCT`s Clomid)?

i prefer nolvadex to arimidex because of the price also. and it has always worked for me.

Letro only that you need to be on it ed for
@ least 6 wks

well to the last post above, letro is way too strong of an anti-e to be running during cycle. letro should only be used for gyno. there's no other justification to reducing your estrogen levels that low.

aromasin is a good alternative to arimidex as they are very similar in their effects and therefore interchangeable if need be in a regimen. however, at 500mg test a week, unless you're succeptible to gyno, i'd just keep an anti-e on hand and if the nips get sore, start taking them. unless you're at or over 1g/week of test, you simply don't need anti-e's and they will only hinder your growth.

additionally, aromasin or arimidex in very low doses is a better choice than nolva during a cycle because of nolva's negative effects on igf levels in the body. the only thing you have to watch with the aromasin and arimidex is lowering your estrogen levels too low.

again, with your cycle, i don't think you'd need it till pct. however, during pct, nolva is fine saying as you won't be needing the igf very much at that point.

Helpful answers, thanks.

I STRONGLY disagree with you.

I STRONGLY disagree with you.

Hhmm....I'm not sure.

I only condone Letro's use for pre-contest, or VERY prone to estrogen related side effects, such as, gyno,water retention and acne. Otherwise I dont think its a good idea lowering estrogen levels upto 98%. Lowering them too much begins to have negative effects on the immune system after time.

Well there you go, you just proved my point man thanks. He said it should ONLY be used in situations of gyno.

disagree, prevention of gyno is better than trying to cure it, use what is effective, i would try all the different anti e's and use what does its job best for your body.

if he has something like aromasin , arimidex , or especially letro and his nips start getting sore, if he tosses some of that into his cycle, it should prevent any lumps from forming. i just don't think there's a need at 500mg for continuous intake of an anti-e though unless you know you're succeptible to it.

i just don't like anti-e's during a cycle cause i've done both with and without, and without anti-e's i simply make much better gains. not just water weight gains either, i mean post-cycle lean mass gains. it's significant enough for me at least to turn me off of anti-e's save for my pct, unless of course i'm planning a heavy cycle of test. i guess you have to see if it affects you the same way, but that's my standpoint.
