Any One Noticed Hair Thinning/Shedding on Arimidex?

Thing is i have been on TRT for almost 7 months now and my life have improved a lot, sex drive, mood, sleep quality, every aspect in general
Some times trying different stuff i encounter unwanted effects, for example i consider my self over responder to Arimidex and only by using it 0.25 mg the day after injection which i do E4D 60 mg of T Cyp, my E2 tanks to 16 Pg/ml and i feel it, less sex drive, less pumps at the gym, the thing is when not using it i will feel great the next 4 days but after that i feel i start to hold up water, reading the forums i read about dissolving Adex in vodka for micro dosing and have been doing that so i can take 0.1 mg the day after the injection and so far i´m feeling great.
Thing is i have also noticed my hair getting thicker by spacing/lowering Adex dose, has anyone experienced this also, more hair shed/fall on Adex ??
One other question Once Adex dissolved on vodka does it alters the half life time or any other pharmaceutical properties of the drug? thanks

I’ve been taking anastrozole for 2 years about .375/wk I have noticed no hair loss.
On your next blood test think about getting your DHT tested. It could be high and a high DHT has been known to increase hair loss. Have you looked into 5% Minoxidil at bed time?

Low and High E2 symptoms are INSANELY similar. Was this your only symptoms?

Another member on here stated that people were actually bloated more with low e2.

I fell into the “high/low confusion” trap for so long.

What are your labs? If your e2 numbers are 16 and your microdosing, you probably don’t need an AI.

Oh yea I forgot… Low E2 causes hair loss…

Thanks man, i forgot to mention i do take propecia 3x per week, so my DHT is on point, E2 on 16 was when taking 0.25 after injection, right now i have just done one take of 0.1 mg dissolved in vodka and at this point prior to my second dose which is tomrrow i feel great, better libido, morning wood, solid erections, also my hair has gotten a lot thicker and i also noticed less shed when applying Minoxidil.
Thanks again for the reply

Thanks bro, yeah i forgot to mention i already take propecia 3x per week and minoxidil with bimatoprost i noticed more hair shed when my E2 levels are below 20, now by doing this with vodka and being able to lower the dose even more i feel great.
I forgot to ask, does dissolving arimidex in vodka alters half life and other aspects of the drug??
Thanks again

Careful propecia can cause some nasty permanent sexual, physical and lasting emotional issues for life.

Known as Post Finasteride Syndrome.

Your anastrazole dose is so low and doesn’t seem to be adding much benefit. Why not just drop it for a few weeks and see what happens?

Hello, thanks, i´m well aware of sides, been on the drugs for almost 3 years, 1 mg 3x per week, while on TRT there is no low libido, TRT has made wonders for me.

If dropping it completely by day six or so after injection i start to bloat and to notice fat deposits around my weist, i have gotten up to 40 pg while on TRT without Adex, not crazy high but i do notice it, bloating i gain weight mostly from holding water and add inches to my weist, there are reports in this very forum of overresponders individuals, i must be one of them.

Hi Luke,

Long shot but are you still taking your arimidex with propecia, and how is your hair thickness looking? I’m currently on arimidex but debating whether to add propecia to save my hair

Ditch the AI. Hairloss can be accelerated in SOME men, who are genetically prone to it, by DHT. I started losing my hair prior to TRT. I lost it a touch faster after I started. Just shaved it off after awhile. It’s just hair I feel amazing and frankly I’m enjoying the shaved look these days.

I am still taking anastrozole .125mg Monday and Thursday. I am happy to report I have no hair loss in fact it is a bit thicker. I don’t actually have more hair it’s just the hair I have is thicker. If that makes any sense.

Do you take propecia?? Because that’s the correlation I’m scared off

Hey everyone, yes i take propecia but only twice weekly 3.5 mg sunday and wednesday, 140 mg of test e per week splitted into 2 shots and arimidex i barely need any, microdosing it dissolving it in vodka.
Hair is great and thick, ofthe in the summer time i get telogen effluvium which i deal with by adding bimatoprost to my hairloss protocol.

Thank you Luke I’m very appreciative for the insight, may I ask what’s the reason you get telogen effluvium in the summer? I’m kind of new to all of this

IDK bro, i usually sweat a lot, but is the same thing every summer starting in july it has already stopped by now, end of august, i used to take propecia 3 times per week but the days i took it i had a hard time having sex, maybe phycological IDK but that same day at night or the very next day i was ready for action again, so i decided to up the dose but only taking it twice weekly
