When to stop arimadex?

[jarudd23]

I always run a low dose of arimadex(anastrozole) during cycle. My question is do you stop it with last injection or run it until pct starts with clomid/nolva?

[Stosh_112]

Run it until u begin pct.

As it is a very good advice on behalf of respectable forum members who have told you to run it up until PCT, there is another feasible option regarding Arimidex use, keeping in mind that Arimidex is rightfully associated with estrogen rebound, as many of us have experienced before: running a low dose ofArimidex for an extra more week into your PCT.

Here is the logic behind this practice: Nolvadex and Clomid, which are recommended PCT agents, need time to build up in your system to start working and this can take up to a week. In the meantime, it is not at all a bad idea to continue with your low dose of Arimidex to make surethat you will not find yourself in a situation where your estrogen levels are considerably higher than your Test levels, which is seemingly the mother of all problems concerning post-cycle issues.

This being said, you may want to continue to use a low dose of Arimidex 1 week into your PCT, just to make sure you won't suffer from an estrogen-rebound related gyno formation. I have had very good results by doing so in terms of estrogen management in the past.

Another option would be using a more advanced anti-e which we know isn't associated with e-rebound, namely Aromasin, and stop using it on the first day of PCT.

Just my 2 cents...

i sometimes think of it the other way. after your last pin, while waiting to start pct, your injected test will be clearing from your system. the total test in the blood stream will be decreasing over time. which means the amount that can be aromatised to estro is also lowering. by the end of the 2wks wait, the test level is low enough for your body to respond to a pct to kick start the natty test production. which makes me feel like i should decrease the dose of AI in the second wk while waiting.

This is precisely why i choose to use Aromasin, particularly with long esters.

Whether the estrogen-testosterone ratio is within an acceptable range (i am referring to the normal/healthy ratio for males here) during that phase where one waits for PCT to start, can be only determined by a proper blood work, as we both know it.

In the past, when I used to cycle with long-estered compounds, where one has to wait for 2-3 weeks before PCT can begin, my BW results were scary regarding the estrogen-testosterone ratio: estrogen was way higher than what it should be in a male's body, and natty test levels (free and total) were too low towards the end of that ''waiting phase'', which is why I developed the habit of running my AI up until my PCT.

I believe I have learned a lot from my prior experiences regarding AAS use: nowadays, I only cycle with short-estered compounds and start PCT only 3 days after last injection, so there is no more ''waiting phase''; pharm grade Aromasin is my preferred anti-e when I cycle and it works very well with me. I am also happy to use it knowing that it is one of the most advanced and reliable anti-e in the market, does NOT have any toxic effects on joints (Arimidex does, unfortunately), and maybe most importantly, there is no estrogen rebound. I was more than pleased to see how well it works to suppress estrogen and avoids estro related sides even during cycles during which I injected myself massive amounts of aromatizing testosterone. Not a single sign of gyno formation when I am on 12.5mg of Aromasin ED, I doubt I'll ever develop gyno as long as I have my pharm grade Aromasin.

So I guess the moral of this story is ''why use Adex when you have Aromasin''.
