Small doses of anastrozol crashes estrogen

[roxer]

I read where Aromasin effectively destroys estrogen and SHBG whereas arimidex just blocks conversion of T to E. I didn't see that in the article on aromasin on the sight here. I tried aromasin once and felt like crap afterwards. Everything hurt, especially my joints. That was after taking half of a pill EOD for five days - MWF.

Weird, I hardly ever read of any complaints on Aromasin.

Sure you weren't taking Arimidex and crashed your E2...that's just what it sounds like.
Aromasin isn't suppose to crash a guy's E2, that's one of the things I like about it.

Or maybe you got Arimidex by mistake?

No, it was Aromasin. Pills are definitely different (Aromasin is larger) as I had both at the same time. I was taking half a pill at the time. I see that it has a 85% kill rate for E2 and is better because it deals more with E2 whereas Arimidex deals more with E1. I have seen some say Arimidex has no effect on them or causes E2 rebounding. I'm not knocking it, it seems to do the job, I know that. My E2 was down to 9 after that bout with Aromasin.

Trific, what is the recommended dosing schedule for Aromasin? I was led to believe it is half a pill EOD. Today I read it as half ED? Can you clear that up?

I don't know how much is recommended since it's such an individual thing.

I have capsules that I've been splitting, usually take 4 or 6mg every day.

I've heard they have the death penalty for counterfeiting meds in India, didn't know if it was the truth.

OK, I'll check my dosage. And yes, penalty is death if it is a home cooked drug. Pharmaceutical companies that make a contaminated drug are shutdown and the top bigwigs are immediately put on trial. Drugs are the big money maker (as in taxes) for India, so they don't screw around with that.
