    Yep, I have gone round and round on the use of this in men with quite a few Dr's.

    The nice thing about anastrazole is that, unlike testosterone and HCG, it is not a scheduled drug and can be ordered from overseas pharmacies without any fear of repercussions. I still isn't cheap but since the dosage we use is low it isn't too bad. Also you can opt for the research chemical route as well.

    It's nice to know that the feds are looking out for my best interest! Does your doctor acknowledge that every single AA clinic in the US prescribes it? If he's anything like my primary, he's in denial! You should have seen my primary's reaction when I told her that I'm getting Anastrozole and HCG from a clinic.

    I'd take the liquidex route if they're gouging you like that.

    Is the liquidex from AR-R as good as the real thing? The price seems to be ok found a little better deal but I know Ar-r is the site sponsor. So if it's as good would rather give him some business ya know? Thanks

    I've been pretty fortunate too. It took some persuading in the form of providing documented research but in the end, my doc asked his pharm rep and the rep agreed with me. Oddly though, my doc prescribed 1mg daily of Arimidex. I knew better, thanks to this site, and told him. I think he was a bit surprised at what I knew. I'm still working on the HCG though. I've asked twice now, and while he hasn't said no, he still hasn't said yes either.

    guys - the generic adex now that it's out is cheap as shiat - most compounding pharmacies are not even compounding it any more because it is so inexpensive. If they are it is just to make the mula and not to save the patient $$$.

    I have ordered L-Dex twice from ar-r and both time it arrived quickly and worked very well, I also used thier Torem as my serm and it was of excellent quality..the only bad thing was it tastes so freaking good due to the candycane flavor that after a religous cutting diet its all I can do not to take another dose LOL.

    my adex comes from Walmart's pharamcy. I'm not sure of retail price cause my insurance picks it up since its an approved medicine for through them. SO its co-pay only. My Dr scripts at 1mg per day but he told me thats not what I should use, we settled on .25 eod or e3d depending.

    x 2 on this. I only do the co-pay also. I'm really surprised to learn what people go through like the OP on this treatment. It's amazing how little the medical community knows on TRT. Make me appreciate my PCP even more...
