Arimidex for PCT?

[BiggD]

Because Aromasin is NOT the same type of AI as Arimidex. Aromasin is a type I AI (a suicidal or noncompetitive inhibitor), while Arimidex is a type II (competitive inhibitor). Type II AIs effectiveness is impeded by SERMs (Nolvadex), while type I is not.

So, that's why we use adex (or aromasin) for on-cycle estrogen control, but only aromasin for PCT (where SERMs are used).

More conflicting information...

WARMachine suggests reading this thread http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=94626. In here it is suggested to run arimidex, nolva and clomid for PCT but you say arimidex and nolva aren't good together. Which is it??????????

Yeah i link Pheenos thread in reference to why it is important to use Clomid in PCT. But Alp and my info is correct, Adex in PCT is a no-go for the exact reasons listed. I also cover why in my sticky. But its exactly the same reason as Alp listed.

Excellent post. Someone has been reading DrummerBoys, Swiftos, or my stickies.

I agree, excellent post and very detailed and informative stickys as I have read through them all.

One question though. I would have liked to run aromasin, nolva, and clomid but cannot get aromasin. If aromasin is not available for use in PCT is there something which can take its place?

Here's my cycle

Week 1-5 Dbol 50mg/ed
Week 1-12 Test E 500mg/wk
Week 1-10 Deca 400mg/wk

Week 1-14 Arimidex .25m/ed
Week 1-14 HCG 500iu/e3d

PCT(starting week 15)
Clomid 100/50/50/50
Nolva 40/40/20/20
??????????????(substitute for aromasin, if needed)
