Hey guys so I became desperate. Against my own objections, I decided to start taking Arimidex about 2 weeks ago (.5 mg every 3 days). I haven’t really noticed any relief. Should I increase dose or just wait longer? How fast does Arimidex work?
Fast. It should be out of your system in 60hrs so it should peak pretty quick.
Just checked and it should be fully absorbed and peaking in about 2 hours.
Arimidex is powerful I would be real careful about increasing without knowing for sure where you are at. Crashed e2 isnt fun

When you say it should be out of my system do you mean the high estrogen or the Arimidex?
arimidex is what he is referring to
Also, without labs, we have no idea where our E2 ended up. That dose could have easily been too high OR way too low for you.

@hardartery right without labs I’m pretty much shooting in the dark and I know that but I’m trying to base this off how I’m feeling not just the numbers. I’m still battling some high E symptoms (interrupted sleep, low libidio, less outgoing, more tired). I’m on 300mg of test cyp so I should be feeling pretty good! I was for a few months then it fell off a cliff
You’d probably feel great on molly, but I don’t recommend it as a lifestyle choice. The truth of it is, you could be high OR low E2 with those symptoms. You need a lab to go with the feel, after a while you will know by feel where you are but that’s going to take some time and labs.

You have labs from 22 days ago and had higher e2. Marin likely high if the same sides are occurring.
You should try breaking up doses. Twice or daily. Helps guys allot with e2 issues.
I wouldn’t lower dose if that’s your level above. Lower might not feel better.
If armidex isn’t working you need to get advice from someone who uses this stuff. Just be careful.
I’m still surprised 300 mg is like 150 for me and you have low shbg. That’s odd my man.
Are the symptoms exactly the same. Did you have any days after taking an ai where you felt better!
Sometimes guys overdose the ai and go from high to low. In between they found sweet spot and went right past it with one to many doses. So ponder on that and think about 22days age and today. I think high e2 less sensitivity in erections and low e2 more sensitive but you can’t keep it up. High e2 you can keep it erect but don’t feel jack. Both have mental issues.
Hope that helps my friend. Get labs at discountedlabs.com at a low cost. I would order free t, total and e2 sensitive for $50 to $80.
Worth the piece of mind and accuracy in fixing your problem.

@Iwatt you just jump into someone elses thread with your problems? You need to start your own thread. 300mg/wk is stupid high no you should not feel good on that. We need your blood tests info. There is a real good chance you have high E2 but no know by how much. High E2 and low E2 are very simular. Get some blood and start your own thread. We will be here to help.

It’s “libido”. Not labido. There is no such word.
Just busting your balls a bit.
Haha you guys must be right I can’t find a definition on this. I see other folks using it but damn…
When I say libido it sounds wrong and I guess that’s why I always added The A . I’ve been saying it wrong all this time
