Blood work shows high Estro, need advice on arimadex dose
ad
I started Test @ 500mg a week in 2 shots. After 5 shots I got itchy burning nips so I stopped test and started Tamoxifen at 20mg a day for 7 days and took .50 cc of arimadex once and I stopped having the itchy hot nips and just decided to quit it all. 26 days later my Estro is at 54 pg/ml. Since I have arimadex how much and for how long should I take it to bring Estro back to normal. I was told this was way high and to take 1cc till my bottle is gone. Any advice or thoughts?
I didn't think 5 injections would do this kinda number on me :/ I never plan on doing any gear again I just want to straighten myself out and go back to normal

How you feeling today, Coleslaw?
I hope you are not sitting on the couch eating bon bon's and watching chick flicks.
im not going to lecture you, just advise you. start the arimidex at 1mg the first day, skip one day and do .50mg and than start doing .50mg every 3rd day. familiarize yourself with low estrogen sides. you will need to address this issue probably but you want to get the Estrogen under control quick. also taper off slowly of the arimidex its known for rebound of estrogen. if you took 1mg/1cc of arimidex a day till that bottle was gone your estrogen would crash and you would probably wish for death before the bottle was gone lol
Firstly, I feel the need to state that it sounds like you did not really plan too far ahead, and your question/problem should be a WARNING to all newbies out there about to start their first cycle. Everyone NEEDS to do ample research into everything that is needed throughout your entire first cycle, BEFORE you start with your first injection and/or oral dosing.
It sounds like you are in the minority that are naturally sensitive to estrogen buildup and effects. I am not sure which Test you were using, but the effects can linger for anywhere from a few days to well over a month after your last injection. While using Test and other high aromatization steroids, it is always a really good idea to supplement Arimadex (anastrozole) at around a dose of 1mg every second or third day depending on how sensitive to androgenic effects and how high your steroid dosing is. Which brings me my next topic for you, Androgenic Effects.
When you are taking anabolic steroids, your body ceases its production of androgens. Then, after you stop taking the roids, your body doesn't immediately resume its normal production of these hormones, resulting in a depressed androgen level. When this happens your body compensates by OVERPRODUCING estrogen. This is why it is advised that you come off anabolics with a good, pre-planned PCT (post cycle therapy). While you can use Arimidex in your PCT, it isn't by any stretch the best possible solution.
My advice to you, as well as, my advice to anyone reading this is that you should be starting your PCT after the last effective day since your last dose of the anabolic steroid that you were taking with Tamoxifen Citrate, and if you know you are really sensitive to the effects of estrogen, then you may want to continue and end your PCT with Clomid (clomiphene citrate) after your last day of tamoxifen.
For Example:
If your Cycle was Test-Prop 100mg every other day, and Dianabol 10mg (3x daily). Since the third day would the first day that these drugs are no longer very active in your system, you would now begin your PCT. In general, short-acting esters or water-based injectables, PCT is recommended 3-7 days after the last injection. In the case of long-acting esters, it should be around 10-14 days after the last injection. For someone who is seemingly susceptive to androgenic effects, your PCT should probably look something like this:
Continue taking the Arimidex as usual until the day you are ready to begin your PCT.
Then take Tamoxifen 40mg/daily for Weeks 1-2, then drop to 20mg/daily for Weeks 3-4. For most people, this is a sufficient PCT, and you can stop here.
But, if you are someone who is very sensitive to estrogen and androgenic effects, then you may want to add Clomid after Tamoxifen. Take Clomid 100mg/daily for Week 5, then drop to Clomid 50mg daily for Week 6.
As always, be careful when using anabolics, and do as much research as possible BEFORE starting any cycle. Even as an experienced user, I always re-research the drugs I am about to use in my cycle, to see if there is any new and expert advice out there on dosing, supply, duration, etc to ensure that I am using as safely, and effectively as possible.
BEFORE starting any cycle, users should ALWAYS have every supply that they will need in front of them, which ensures that you will NOT be without a needed supply/drug during their cycle. This is EXTREMELY important, because if you started your cycle, then ordered your PCT products while on a cycle, and your source doesn't come through, or your package gets snatched by customs, and then your cycle ends, it WILL adversely effect your overall health and wellbeing. THEN, plan out your entire cycle, including your PCT. Using a calendar to plan it out is always highly recommended.
Hope this helps!! and Good Luck.
Also, this PCT recommendation is for a Beginner/Intermediate Light Cycle. Heavy cycles require a heavier PCT.
And eat a lot of good oils, such as the ones in nuts, fish and coconuts. Also, go to GNC and get some Tribulus, Fenugreek, and Goldenseal to get your boys back to an appropriate level and that estrogen down to where it should be.
How long will it take all my levels to return to normal if I do nothing? I scrapped the cycle of Test E after 2 weeks @ 500 the third week I only did one pin so it was 250. I have all the pct things such as clomid, tamoxifen, and arimadex BUT I just am freaked out by all the sides and everything else I don't plan on EVER using again I just want to return to normal, the arimadex freaks me out the least but if I can go back to normal levels naturally I would prefer that since I'm feeling fine but how long would that take or will it happen at all?
Anybody out there?
