Arimidex dosage question?

[nusa]

I'm 2wks into my test cycle and getting some bloat in the face and sensitive nipples so time to start my dex to be safe.
Should I take .5ed just until my bloat and sensitive nipps subside then drop my dosage to .25 eod until end of cycle?
Thanks guys

Sounds good mate....

[Focusmen]

thats what i would do

[marcus300]

Agreed ^^^

[jasc]

Just to clarify what is stated above.. .25 eod is sufficient for those who are prone to these sides?
I notice most people on here recommend .5 eod

I see 2 well known vets agreed.. so I assume this is correct?

If so I may drop my dose.. I use .5.. but if its not necessary I will gladly lower it

[nusa]

Thanks fellas, also I'm due to pin tomorrow, so can I pin and take the dex same day or should I wait a day or 2 after I pin before taking it?

thought armidex standard dosing was .5 eod instead of .25?
I have been using .5 eod to prevent bloat/gyno.. is that overkill? would .25 be enough?
I know I am prone to gyno because last time after 7 days I started to bloat n nips were sensitive.

just wondering because I see most people rec. .5 eod.. and there are a few good vets on this thread.. wondering what you guys think?

It's a personal thing....

0.25 EOD for me seems to do the trick....

Just run 0.25 and if u need more use more....

Start now...

When the bloat and nips go down drop the dose

[jasc]

I'm at work ATM so can't take the dex til tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure there isn't any issues taking both on the same day.
Thanks for your help mate

When I started my libido was outta control for the first week, then seemed to die... Is this normal or could it be caused by too much Adex, in affect inhibiting too much est? Just finished week 3 of prop @ 500 mg/wk

Too little E can cause ED but I dont think so in this case

I have run 0.5 EOD for extended periods of time with no problems what so ever

[Matt]

Im not a big fan of armidex because of the rebound you can suffer, imo stane is a better option...

However like base say's, because we are all different and of course react differently theres no dosage for armidex thats set in stone. Its all about finding what works for you, tweak and play around with the dose until you find that equilibrium...

No ED.. it works just fine.. just no urge and an overall lower feeling of well-being... The first week I just felt all around awesome.. maybe my bodys just used to it now.. gonna try droppin to .3 n see how it goes

i was doing .5 eod and changed to e3d, libido waned again a bit, so went back to eod and all is good again. you just need to find the sweet spot

Its all guess work unless you have BW done

[jasc]

thx for the replies fellas... I'll get some BW if I notice anything a little more serious.. for now i'll change up dosing.

Whats the best way to combat the Adex rebound?

I have read many threads on here and the consensus seems to be, progressively lowering the dosage the last couple weeks of cycle

Through a google search I found a PCT/AI thread on Ster***ology written by one of their vets claiming to combat the rebound, you take Adex 1-2 weeks in to PCT. They claim this will stop the rebound because the AI will stop the aromatizing of the AAS until your Test levels are within a normal range or lower. They say the rebound is caused by the Nolva not being able to deal with the extra estrogen and only blocking the receptors. They also claim the Nolva/Adex combo will drop your estrogen levels unnaturally low, therefore causing the body to produce more natural test

What do you guys think about this method/claim?

On the surface it makes sense but i'm no science major...
