Arimidex Took Care Of All My Sides From Finasteride

[Mattias]

So ive been on finasteride 1 year with a break of one month. Different doses and differens side effects. Well the side effect that kept on coming back was of course low libido and floppy boner (i could literally fold my dick in half when "fully" erect) . So last round i took 0.5mg EOD. went well for a few months until i got this weird tingeling/burning feeling in my nipples. So to prevent possible gyno i took 0.25mg of Arimidex 3 times a week for one month.

Not only did the weird sensation in my nipples disappear but my libido went thru the roof and my boner rock solid, morning wood like never before. I was happy as f*** and felt great . I stopped with the Arimidex after 1 month, this made my estrogen spike and i got the same sides back. I went back on Arimidex again and same thing as last time. Super high libido and super boner.

So im thinking on ether staying with 0.25mg Ari with regular blood work to check estrogen levels and blood fat to keep it in the sweet spot (you want to have a normal range of estrogen because to low or to high is not good)

The thing is i now know that my sides are estrogen related. So any thoughts on handling that besides Arimidex? Is it maybe better to slowly wear of the dose to avoid the estorgen spike or maybe take it longer at let the body adapt? Maybe try Zinc instead?

did Arimidex hurt your hair?

Nope.
To be honest my hair looks better and thicker than ever. Might be because I added nizoral 2% a couple a week's ago. Maybe to soon to tell as well but no noticeable shedd or anything like that.

Interesting. Is Arimidex safe to take long-term?

People on TRT takes it all the time to suppress estrogen to normal levels. and I have read People taking it for years without problem. But I'm sure it's individual to how you respond .

But like anything else you have to be careful when you mess with your hormones and this route demands regular blood work to make sure that your blood values and E2 are in the right range . To low estrogen is as bad as to high, you don't want that .. but if you can stay in range you should be fine and eliminate all the estrogen related sides finasteride causes .

 

[Mattias]

Interesting, is Letrozole (http://www.ergo-log.com/letrozole.html) alike?

Yes, same effect but more powerful. So the does with letrozole should be smaller so you don't crash your E2.

I would never take another drug to counter sides of a different drug. Its just asking for trouble. If you cant accept the sides of a drug just stop taking the drug.

It's more a matter of suppressing estrogen. there's other ways to do that. I just explained the effects it had on me and it was positive. When you know the effect of the counter drug and you know it's estrogen related, what's the trouble part? Can you elaborate?

Of course you should be careful but I just don't give Up because I get sides when there might be ways around it. I will laborate with doses and build ups with finasteride untill i get it right and if I get estrogen related sides then I Will take care of that. I won't just give give up and quit. I want to keep my hair...

Good look with your bone deterioration goals in 2017

We are meant to have estrogen within are system, and in hbiting that from happening is bound to have bad side effects in the long run.

Estrogen plays a key role like testosterone in our sense of well being, bones, hair, and energy levels.....

I can understand if you were on steroids, considering you already have elevated levels of estrogen.... but. this isnt smart


Seek advice from a medical practitioner.

I would stop, your lucky your hair didnt suffer but if u continue hairloss will happen from arimidex eventually

Again, I'm well aware of that. Please, bone deterioration happens if you have really low estrogen for a long time .
If you read what I wrote in the beginning it's about keeping the estrogen in normal range. Not to low and not to high . AND I also asked for other options to lower estrogen but everyone seems more eager to jump to conclusions that I have now idea about what it is or the possible effects..

Seek advice from a medical professional who doesn't discriminate against baldies.


The type of doctor who will give you options on doing something safely or will flat out tell you it isn't safe.

Not so sure about that. Estrogen playes a role in protecting hair but not that much. Lower DHT and normal range estrogen with arimidex or something else is better than full range DHT .

Yea, Good luck finding a doctor like that here. I'm going to lower the finastride dose for a while and see if can get around it that way and maybe add some zinc or SAM-E or something like that. I keep the arimidex in hand if I feel like sh*t again.

Hairloss is literally a side effect of arimidex

Hey i am doing the same thing now. I just started( week ago) taking arimidex 0.5 g EOD to lower my estradiol which was 55 pg/ml(20-47) DHT 442 ng/ml (300-1000) I had amazing regrowth thanks to being on BIG 3 , but it lasted just one month then started shedding like a b**ch. i did blood test and my estradiol is higher , so trying to lower it to normak range, please keep me updated

Thats not how it works

 

[wannamyhairback]

ok how it works then ? because i have had great results then got hit by Telogen Effluvium , Telogen Effluvium is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance. OK if you know how it works tell me

Or u were just shedding because of treatment

If I were you guys I wouldn't make taking arimidex part of your regimen. Maybe once every month you can take a dose to lower your estrogen but you guys shouldn't be suppressing estrogen for extended periods of time, sh*t is dangerous.
