I prefer aromasin . But then I never had trouble with estrogen. I also have only a few test cycles under me.

I would research the two drugs and make a decision based on their science. Because folks use varying doses, their experiences is not likely to apply to yours. Both are very effective blockers.

Aromasin kills the aromatase enzyme, new ones generate of course. Takes a little over a week to get serum levels up.

Arimidex blocks the activity of the enzyme. It's a "same day service" drug so it works almost instantly.

I see.... based on the fact that armidex blocks the enzyme and that it starts working sameday sounds better to me. Would o.25mg eod be enough or should it be everyday?

I have no idea. But that is the basic dose for a 500mg cycle. You have to get blood work mid cycle to verify the dose is working. 0.25 doesn't work for everyone, but it's start.

Doesn't aromasin also raise free test a decent amount?

Check out this article from our very own jimmyinkedup. Exemestane-The Underdosed AI
Personally, I found this very informative and "sealed the deal" for me in terms of the questions, "which AI do I use?"

I will only use aromasin from now on. I have pharma arimidex and I was up to 1mg daily to control estrogen.

After multiple blood tests, it seems me personally needs to take so much adex to have it effective I feel better taking less aromasin than more adex to stay with in range.

I run the aromasin at 12.5 ED and I feel good. Good luck.
