question for fols who crashed there e2 with adex

[Ryan624]

currently on day 1 week 5 of test e 500 week cycle. i wanted to know what happens after you crash e2 and cease taking adex for a few days.. Does your e2 rebound to original number once adex is out of system. so does it go from crashed to possibly too high without even hitting the sweet spot.?? my e2 was 11 on a scale from 10-40 i believe. its been about 4 days since adex and am finally starting to feel a lot better. just dont know when to start taking adex again. i pin tomorrow was wondering if i should take my adex yet.

How much arimidex were you taking?

[Ryan624]

I was taking .25 adex ed up until day of blood work. Then like a fool i upped it to .5 ed while waiting for results because i was sure it was high e2. Its been 3 days since my last .5 dose. I pin tomorrow.

[lovbyts]

I'm confused on why you upped your adex from .25 to .50 if your levels were at 11 or am I not understanding this correctly?

I would say you could have gone back to .25 EOD right away, no need to really stop 100%

[Who_Am_I]

Oh wow that is a lot of dex. There is a theoretical possibility of rebound with non-suicidal aromatase inhibitors. If it were myself I would start back up at .25 E3D at keep it there.

[Ryan624]

I upped dose while i was waiting for blood work as symptoms got worse. All symptoms matched high e2 at that time. Now i know that symptoms for low and high are identical

[numbere]

Yes you can have e2 rebound if you stop taking dex on cycle. Dex reaches peak concentration within hours and has a half life of about 3 days. I would begin taking it again today.

I crashed e2 hard when I first started TRT and it was terrible. Felt like my joints we're going to stop working and just felt like crap. Lowered Anastrole in half and rebounded within a week or so

One way I can tell the difference when I'm on the verge of low E2 - my piss stream is significantly weaker(starting and stomping at begininning) ... Unless you crash it I've never really felt bad when E2 was around 8ish so it's definitely individual as well(but yes the sides are very similar(throw in prolactin and it gets a lil difficult w/out experience)

Go back to .25 after today or on 3rd day... But now your readings will be skewed

Sounds like you got some solid advice all pointing back to staying on your original dose. I know it's hard to not play with dosages but as you can see in the case of dosing an AI, it doesn't take much to upset the apple cart.

[Ryan624]

Solid advice indeed. Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. The good thing about learning the hard way is i know my body alot better because of it. I agree the weak stream is Definatley the first obvious sign of change for low e2. Gonna stick to .25 eod then get tested in two weeks

[Ryan624]

Alright heres an update on my e2 issues. Took first dose if .25 adex two days ago after taking a 4 day break. Still feel pretty shitty. Joints are bothering me, lack of pump in gym also lack of motivation. Haven't had a real good workout since started this cycle over 4 weeks ago. Bodys recovering slow. All weights have decreased. Have morning wood but not as strong as was last cycle. Def still have anxiety. Not sure what to do. I was given advice to continue adex at lower dose and others said to wait a week without it. Im thinking now maybe i should have waited without it for a bit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to get this fixed so i can make something of this cycle. I also have aromisin on hand incase thats the route i need to take.

[Who_Am_I]

I would keep it at .25mg E3D and give it a little more time. Its only been 6 days, my guess is its going to take about 2 weeks with that much adex in your system.

If .25mg ED had your estrogen in the normal range, albeit low normal, than .25mg E3D should allow your levels to come back up without rebounding too hard.

[Ryan624]

alright heres an update. Im hoping to get some insight as far as my dosage. Ive been running adex at .25 e3d. and this is how its been going. i take dose.... for 24 hours i have bad anxiety and joints and body is sore. lack of energy and appetite. cant lift shit in the gym because shoukder and arm pain. next day anxiety lessons a bit but joints stilll hurt cant lift trouble sleeping still because of anxiety. next day start feeling better well being. libido popping back a bit. start getting a bit of that "On feeling" better sleep still cant lift. next day take my adex dosage and rinse and repeat. same shit. should i step away from the adex until i feel good for a few consecutive days? or does that put me at higher risk for e2 rebound? it seems right when my levels are getting right below my sweet spot im knocking them back down. Im also injecting 250 test e3 days.

2 things you need/should do.

#1 is get blood work done. Free testosterone and Sensitive E2
#2 is buy some liquidstane. Some people respond a lot better to it and it's harder to crash your E2.

[bigdil511]

Did you take dex first cycle? Maybe your body doesn't handle it well I would try the liquidstane and see if that helps as mentioned above.

[Ryan624]

i have liquid stane on hand. And i wasn't sure if i should get bloods again yet because its only been less then two weeks since last blood work . But ill get that too. Whats a good safe
starting dose for liquid stane?

[lovbyts]

25 mg ever day.

Yeah if you did blood work 2 weeks ago give it another 4 weeks and see how you feel and if you need one. Sorry I didnt see that before. Just dont over do the AI. Keep it at 25mg every day and things should get sorted out quickly.

[Ryan624]

Ok sure thanks will do. I keep reading on here that some people run stane 12.5 e3d on my cycle. Can someone crash their e2 on 25mg a day? Also should i take 12.5 in the a.m and 12.5 in p.m

[lovbyts]

It's harder to crash with stane than adex from what I understand.

Here is a good read from Jimmy on Exemestane.

Ha thats funny i just got done reading this before you posted. Thanks man. ill give it a try. Im pretty sure due to the e2 rebound with dex i may have flew past sweet spot and went straight to high levels.

[Ryan624]

Ok just to clarify for the sake of avoiding a repeat of the hell i just went through. While recovering from a e2 crash about ten days ago you think starting aromisin 25 mg ed will work well? Will it allow my levels to level out either way whether they need to rise or fall? I took first dose of 12.5 a few hours ago. Just wanted to clarify

[Ryan624]

Holy shit not sure if its coincidence but about 2 or 3 hours after taking stane dose i was able to make it through first workout in ten days without joint pain!

[Wizwell]

Reading through your posts, I see no T level numbers from blood work. The reason I mention this is because I crashed my E2 level on only .25mg adex EOD. Bunk gear was the reason and confirmed by the blood work. Adex will crash you quick if your gear is seriously under dosed.
