Libido - While on test- time for AI to kick in?

[Fetch]

I was recently asked a question that I could not come up with an answer for. I have personally had this happen to me, as well. While on cycle (Test only, in this case 600Mgs/week), a few weeks in, libido drops and ED occurs. My first thought was spiked Estrogen. I told him to try Arimidex at .25 EOD. After 1.5 weeks, he reported symptoms have not improved at all.

From what I know, shouldn't he have experienced results by now? I had thought Arimidex was pretty fast acting. When it happened to me in the past, I simply discontinued use of the AI and dealt with the lowered libido, as I had no other Estrogen related problems.

These exact circumstances describe one of my bros reactions to test. We never found an explanation. I suspected maybe his bottles did not have test; maybe something cheaper and capable of shutting him down. He was fine after PCT; and his never cycle he ran a dif. pharm test and everything was fine.

This is pharmacy grade Test.

This is pharmacy grade Test.

...as in it literally came from a pharmacy? If not, everything is suspect in my opinion.

Yes, it came from CVS.

Yes, it came from CVS.

That is where I get mine too (TRT). I did a source check on them...they came back good. Heh.

I would suggest using the adex at .25 ED and seeing if that has an effect.

Any other ideas? This is really stumping me. I keep researching, and can't come up with anything.

Estrogen, prolactin, dhea, progesterone, thyroid function, stress levels, diet are all factors.
