I am not personally familiar with aromasin, although it is fairly common. It is not available where I am, but anastrozole is OTC along with test. The pharma guys will know more about it, certainly some of them have experience with it. The main thing is to be very conservative on the dose until you know how you react to it. Normal for one guy could be way too much for another guy and pissing in the ocean for a third guy.

Good advice mate, I’m gonna bite the bullet and take the AI for a while… I think :-/
I’m due a shot in the morning. I think I will skip until Sunday to level off a bit.
I also just took 6.25mg of aromasin
I am still holding out on the AI, I took a small dose last night but I won’t continue taking it, need to do more to bring T and E2 down to a decent level by smaller dosages.
Today I had to come away from work, my head is pounding and I am burning up. I have definitely been dosing too high. I was due another shot today but I skipped it. How long will this awful feeling last, would it be as the T levels decline over the next few days, is that how it works?
Have we ruled out an allergic reaction to the oil you’re taking?
I’m considering trying 35mg E3.5d before I go EOD, that would be a 10mg drop per week, is that sufficient do you think or could I go as low as 30mg E3.5D?
Your levels are dropping now. Normal 7 day half-life, you should be down after a week or two, depending. Your E2 is the issue, that is crazy high on those bloods, it takes a little longer to drop. The AI will help quickly, depending on the strength of your response. It should kick in withing a few hours.

Will the one dose of the AI that I took last night make a difference?
Briefly. It will lower your E2 for several hours to a day, depending on how you metabolize it. It may not lower it enough to matter.

I think you should try a little arimidex and see if you get any relief.
I agree e2 is high IF youre feeling symptoms, which it sounds like you definitely are.
If you keep dropping your dose to get e2 in line, you’re going to not feel the effects of the T in the first place.

Unless I misread it, his E2 was way up over the top of the range

Don’t you think I could afford to dose down considering my T level is high also, I feel “high” at the moment, it’s not a nice feeling, it’s triggering the anxiety! ?
Yes it is, I have one week to start feeling better, I travel to Disneyworld next week!
You could drop the dose, you might be way happier at a lower T level.

I think I will feel happier mate at a lower dose tbh, I really don’t like this “high” feeling
That high E2 is going to be jacking with you, whatever you need to do to get that in line. Some guys are golden at a T of 500, some guys need to be sky high.

I really don’t know what to do for the best, my doc is clueless, they aren’t clued up on TRT like the US docs.
I’m on a fb group in the UK for trt, they are telling me to lower dose before adding the AI. You guys on here seem to be leaning towards the use of an AI. I’m so confused as to what to do for the best. My E2 has always been high since starting trt 6 months ago. The bit of aromasin I took last night has made me feel worse with headache and sickness.
I really don’t know what to do bro, I’m so frustrated and getting depressed fast.
If aromasin makes you feel bad, don’t take it. Avoiding AI’s is best usually. Using them only short term if you need them is a good plan. If lowering the dose brings your E2 in line then fine, Your E2 was really high, so I’m not sure that lowering the dose will be enough, especially short run. You aromatise a lot. What’s the reason for that? It is likely not just because you’re too fat (I have no idea if you have any extra weight or not), you might have some other condition affecting that.

Headaches are a listed common side-effect of aromasin. It has a 24 hr half-life.

I’m really not sure why I aromatise so much, I’m not overweight, I do carry a bit of weight around my waist but nothing significant.
