Arimidex and issues of concern (BE AWARE)

**BigBrucie** · 09-02-2009, 06:00 PM

on going to the arimidex official website i found a few interesting things .
i have currently injured my back and have learnt that arimidex decreases bone density, minerals in spine and damages lumber, stating that those who where treated with arimidex where also given Bisphosphonate to help strengthen bone marrow. I am concerned have u guys overlooked this?
thiere is no information on whether after use body returns to normal function. if you a body-builder weak bones is a BIG issue.

another thing from arimidex is that arimidex did NOT reduce gyno

When you make the decision to take ANYTHING, it can have adverse side effects, including non-anabolic substances. If you do some research, you will find that some people taking clomid report loss of vision and some studies have been done that insist that long term use of tamoxifen can cause loss of memory. These side effects are rare and it is important to note that these studies are done on women who have to use AIs and SERMS on a long term basis to assist with cancer. With regards to steroids , a bodybuilder just using AIs or SERMS in PCT will more than likely not experience any serious side effects because they are only done after a cycle for no more than 6 weeks. Even if you use Arimidex or another AI on cycle, there is still a good chance that you will not experience any serious side effects because the dosage and length of time used is not enough. Hope this clears up some things. P.S., if you're taking steroids than you have bigger side effects that need to be worried about than those of AIs or SERMS. That being said, don't neglect you're AIs or SERMS or you'll really be up shit creek.

i think of greater concern would be those of us that use it for TRT which is for life

**sizerp** · 09-03-2009, 01:59 AM

Most guys on TRT don't dose high enough to see sides anyway, so there's no need for an AI or SERM.

Btw - why did you post this twice? One thread wasn't good 'nuff?

yes correct
small doses of test and small doses of arimedex more like .25 eod is a quite normal dose while running 100-200mg of test year round

i agree..it aides in preventing gyno. once gyno is developed, a-dex will not reduce it or eliminate it. it is a preventive measure, not a fix.
