how much Arimidex?

[era]

Anyone else who has taken adex for high E2, please tell me what results you've achieved with what dosage. In particular, I'm interested in what dosage you've used for long-term maintenance.

I recently tried adex. My E2 was 57 before going on it. I took six 1/4mg doses of adex spaced 3-4 days apart. Three days after my 6th dose, blood was drawn for a sensitive E2 assay; the result was 13.2.

I had not a clue that so little adex would do so much. It's certainly easy to see how some guys end up crashing their E2 with it.

This is a copy of a file I made on how not to go to low on arimidex.
==================================
What I found is if you go to low taking arimidex, it's the length of time your to low, if your too low say for 8 weeks it can take your body a longer time to make more Estradiol. Bottom line is to know how not to go to low. Keep a log on your dose and how you feel men going to low can't get it up taking Viagra. I went to low when I first tried Arimidex and did not know about going to low or how one feels to low, so I was low a good 8 weeks. I did not know I was low until my next labs.

The best gage I have found to control your Estradiol levels is to gage your night time and morning wood. At good levels or what I call the sweet spot you get your night time and morning wood back so strong it will wake you up and you can hang a coat on it.

Most men do good taking .25 mgs or 1/4 of a 1mg. pill, I use a pill cutter to cut the small pill in half then I stand it on the cut end and use a single edge razor to cut this in half. A good way to take arimidex is by how high your levels are. I tested over 90 pg/ml so we tried doing .5 mgs every other day after 8 weeks my next set of labs showed it did not move below 90, test said >90. So we did .5 mgs. every day in about 2 weeks I got some strong night time and morning wood back after not having them for many yrs.

I kept doing this dose and in 8 weeks my next set of labs said <20 back in the day labs were like this they did not have to good labs we have today they could not read lower the 20. My Dr. told me this looks to low to stop taking the Arimidex. The one thing I noticed was my wood stopped and stopping the Arimidex my wood came back in about 7 weeks my next test at 8 weeks was 24 pg/ml. So we went back on the Arimidex but the Dr. told me to take .5 mgs every 3 days I was on this dose not a week and lost wood. This is when I figured out going to low you lose wood. And the longer your too low the longer it takes to get levels back up.

I stopped the arimidex right away and got my wood back in 4 days. I then after playing with the dose for a time found the best dose is .25mgs every 2 to 3 days.

So lets say your labs are less the 50 pg/ml if your take .5 mgs you can go down so dam fast your miss the sweet spot of your wood and go to low. It's best with lower levels 50 and under to do less Arimidex .25mgs every 2 days if later your lose wood when it comes back go to every 3 days.

I have found estradiol is the hardest hormone to control, it goes up or down from month to month some times I need .25mgs every 2 days other times I need .25mgs everyday most of the time I do well on every 3 days.

So between wood and labs I do great and so do most of the men I have told this to. I keep a log on how much I am taking and how I feel. Doing this and reading back in my log I was able to tell when I was going to high or to low my Dr. lets me dose my arimidex by how I feel.

Over the yrs. I have posted this story until I am blue in the face.

EOD is the way to go. The half life of Arimidex is long. It is something like 48 hours if I remember correctly.

Besides wood etc., what are some of the more serious side effects you can have from taking more arimidex than is right for you? Cholesterol, insulin/glucose, etc. - what would be some red flags in a lab report?

I beleive adex is a temporary stop gap for issue that go much deeper mainly with improper bile production or flow. Bile is needed to conjugate estrogen with in the body and main route of detoxifcation. Is it the aromatase or is to the bodys inability to unload it and have it reciruclating around in the blood stream?
This is the question that I am starting to ponder..

I feel if your not sure if you did to much Arimidex just stop taking it as your levels come back up so will your wood the day your wood comes back go back on it but take less. Keep a log on your wood and what your dose is so you can tell how you feel going to high this is the hard part some times doing .25 mgs every 3 days I do great but then E2 starts to go up and I can't tell then when I lose wood I don't know if I am to low or to high. Keeping a log you get to know how your body feels going to high going to low is easy you lose your wood and taking Viagra will not get it up.

When I go to high slow it is tricky to tell but wood gets weaker I feel hot and sweat look red on my face and upper body. As it goes up fast and there are times this happens I have Panic feelings that can make me have a Panic Attack.

It's not the high E2 causing the Panic but it sets it off. So from time to time I find the need to change my dose. In the last 5 weeks it's been very high do to some bad HCG Novarel I had to take .5 mgs everyday. Now that I have some new HCG Novarel a different lot and exp. date it's all good again and I am doing .25 mgs / day.

Most of the time I do fine taking .25 mgs every 2 to 3 days.
For me Estradiol levels never stay the same it's up and down.

Well I hope you figure all this out I feel there are so dam many things that cause high levels in men we will never get it under control unless we live in a bubble.

That is great news I hear this all the time just learn to read your body and adjust the dose to keep feeling this good. I gage it by my wood.

I have found my workouts suck when I am to low and my joints will hurt and my muscles are flat. Best way for me to tell is the loss of night time and morning wood. If I don't think I had it I check to see if I can get it up before getting out of bed. If I am to low I can't get it up the life of me. This is when I stop taking the Arimidex if I catch this fast my wood will come back in less then 5 days.
