Can I reduce my Aromasin dosage?
ad
Hello, I'm more than half way through a 12 week test e (500mg/week split) cycle. I'm taking an Indian pharm Aromasin 12.5 EOD. I haven't had the slightest signs of gyno. I guess if it ain't broke why fix it may apply here, but I was also thinking that maybe I could increase gains if I dropped my Aromasin dosage to 6.25 EOD. I'm taking finasteride for MPB so my chances of getting gyno are greater. Leave it or reduce it? If gyno does startup, how easy is it to wipe it out quickly with a higher dose of Aromasin? Thanks

if youre feeling great and not experiencing any low estrogen sides, than leave it. also the terminal half life of aro is 8.9 hours so its more effective to do smaller dose daily than EOD. its easier to control. i am what i call a super converter, ive ran 50mg a day, to keep mine in control, so the best option IMHO is to run either 6.25mg at bed time or 3.125mg am and pm to keep it stable in the blood. but if what youre doing works, stay with it. i have a hell of a time with estrogen so im more cautious and aware of half life and running it based on those things. a normal or low converter may and can run it more liberally than me
Im kinda in the same situation as this guy. Im more than half way through a 12 week cycle running Test E 400mg/5 days and test p/ tren a blend 250mg/eod. I didnt know about AI's. It recently started fealing like my gear just stopped working. I been getting tired way faster, motivation has lowered, no longer getting morning wood.I read in some other post that aromasin may be the solution to my problem. So i ordered aromasin and just recieved it. How much and how often should i take this.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you what I learned even though I'm new. The standard seems to be 12.5 mg EOD. For me that means, splitting the tablet in half. I was told I could possibly cut that down to 6.25 EOD because this is a relatively light cycle I'm doing. Yet this particular tablet is very small and there's no assurance that I'm getting an even dose if I split it into tiny quarters. You are safe with 12.5 mg EOD. I would go with that. My experience has proven it to be a good dosage. I've had zero sides at 12.5mg. Although I am taking a bit more test than you. Maybe others will chime in too.
Okay. Thank you guys. I was going off of something I read on another site that an AI can reduce gains as estrogen is a required component. It's tricky to sift through what's fact and what's not on the internet when you're new like me. I'm up about 8 pounds, and could probably have doubled that if my diet were better.

it's a work in progress and will continue to grow
I say get bloodwork. Then there's no guessing. 12.5 eod would drop my estro pretty low. Do your joints feel dry or achy? If you feel good and your getting morning wood then your probably right on target - otherwise I say get bloods so you're not guessing.
How is it that you expect to increase gains by dropping or reducing the AI? What are you looking for? Water weight?
That aromasin you're taking is not only preventing estrogen related sides, like gyno, but it is playing a beneficial role towards the the productivity of your cycle. One example is the reduction of SHBG, thereby increasing free test. Bound test is not useful to the body's cells until it is freed up.
Reducing your AI will only put you at risk of estrogen related sides. These include but aren't limited to BP, fluctuations in body temp, sexual dysfunction, acne, sleep disturbances, etc. you say your motto is "if its not broke, don't try to fix it." Well, that does mean you should try to break it. Your AI is working, so why fuck with it?
I think you already know the answer here "if it ain't broke why fix it". So how much are you up in weight so far? Because testE as you already know has a slow ester and starts to work after 4weeks so if your only half way through the cycle you have PLENTY of gains left to be had.
