Switching from Adex to Aromasin ON CYCLE

ad

I used adex on my first cycle and i had no signs of gyno or any other signs of high estrogen. Now on my current cycle I've been running Adex as well. Ive gone from .25 EOD to .25mg ED and eventually to .50ED and STILL got gyno and other signs of high estro...

HERES MY QUESTION

Can you switch from Adex to Aromasin ON cycle, and if yes whats THE BEST way to do so. Should you stop taking adex and Same day start aromasin? should you wait a day or two or a week before making the switch. OR should you not make the switch at all?

Ur not using a 19nor are u??? If no then Just switch ASAP. Obviously the adex ur using isn't doing the trick. Make the switch to blood test proven aromasin. No need to run both since the adex is already in my mind not very good or bunk altogether. You will be fine. Don't bother running a low dose either. U want to get control of the situation with a daily dosing protocol. I'd start with a high dose like 25 mg for 7 days then cut it back to 12.5 for anoter 7 days ten go to 12.5 eod. If ur like me you will need a daily dosage but there is only one way to find that out for sure is bloods. U could be very well in tune with ur body and it's propensity for sides and u will notice the effects good or bad right away. Right now really isn't the time to get to know ur body when ur battling gyno sides. By the end of week 1 u should notice it getting better keep lowering the dose as the sides lessen. Go to eod for maintenance. During ur cycle.

i did that during my cycle because after 6 weeks of test e 600mg/week my estradiol levels were at 102 while taking .25mg of arimidex every 3.5 days. I stopped taking arimidex on a sunday and started taking aromasin on monday.
i was taking the AI's in the morning before i went to the gym, and in retrospect that was probably a mistake. after 2 weeks of aromasin 12.5mg ED in the morning, my estradiol levels went from 102 to 71, still too high. i wasn't exhibiting any signs of gyno though, no puffy/itchy nips nothing. just high estradiol levels.
at week 8 i switched from morning to night dosing of aromasin and within about 5 days i noticed signs of low estro, for me it was an insane breakout of acne on my back. i went 8 weeks on cycle without any acne and then all of a sudden, just a few days after switching to aromasin at night i broke out on my back. painful breakout as well. the acne is still with me, week 12 (i just took my last pin on sunday, starting PCT in 3 weeks).

to answer your question, i think you can switch to aromasin the next day.

it was recommended by a vet here that i order some aromasin and bump up the adex to .5mg EOD while i waited for the aromasin to arrive. i didn't specify that in my previous post, but i did bump the adex up to .5 and then switched over immediately to aromasin when it arrived.

Thats weird, I had completely different results. I used aromasin all cycle without a SINGLE spot of acne on my whole body! then once I stopped aromasin my acne broke out.

just switch thats what i did this cycle. aromasin works pretty quick. 25mg a day will clear it up pretty quick

I did the same front loaded at 25mg a day then once I could feel it was in check went to 12.5 EOD. Had what I call the acne tumors now it's all cleared up. Everyone's body chemistry is different. Adex which I have used before,same batch just didn't work for me.
Aromasin may be used during a steroid cycle with aromatizing
compounds and during PCT to help keep the estrogen to testosterone balance in favor of testosterone. Out of all the medications to control estrogen, Aromasin seems to be the most well balanced. It raises testosterone slightly better than Arimidex and lowers estradiol about 12% better than arimidex in men and is likely to cause less estrogen rebound than Arimidex.
Make the switch it works.

Get some letrozole if you have gyno, it's the only thing that will actually get rid of it.

In the mean time you can take nolvadex to prevent it from getting worse until u get letrozole

why not, just curious for my own learning? I was thinking for my cycle to take nolvadex to prevent gyno and either way I'm running low dose test (300)
