+ 1 How long to feel releif
ad
So on average how long does it take to feel some releif after taking Arimidex or Aromasin. I know everyone is prob different but in general?
Example:
Reason I ask. Currently on about 400-450mg of Test Cyp. Going into week 4 now. Had a bit of a flair up 2 days ago.
Friday Night Flair up: Took 25 mg Arimidex
Saturday Early Morning felt a bit of relief.
Sunday Morning felt better.
The way some people talk its almost immediate releif. So I was afraid to pop anymore. I tried to be patient and let it play out a day or two.

After getting things under control, it's not a bad idea to hop on 10 mg per day of Nolva. But definitely keep your aromasin dose going that maybe a quarter of that. 6.25mg ED is fine for most. If I'm running GH and HCg, I have to take 12 mg per day.
A quick tip in cases like this, metamucil can really lend a helping hand in terms of the fiber helping flush out any extra estrogen floating about
And Im a Psyllium husk feind. I eat 2 scoops with every protein shake I have. I easily get 40+ grams a day of fiber.
My mother had colon cancer twice. So Im well versed in my butthole and keeping it flowin.
I was going to bring this up. I know Nolvadex on vs. pct is an arguement with alot. If nips are the main symptom it would seem to me Nolvadex would be the way to go. Now if estrogen is truely high and I have other symptoms of high estrogen like Im crying while watching Free Willy 2. Then a more aggressive approach with AI might be the path.
So once estro gets in range take 10mg nolvadex through end of cycle? Good info on the metamucil
When that happens to me, I take one pill a day for 3-4 days in a row, and it completely subsides. Probably crashes my estrogen, but at that point I do give shit, I want it gone.
Don't believe Nolvadex has any effect on estrogen. Isn't it a SERM targeting the boobies.
I find myself in the same situation as you and this question of yours with the related very useful answers confirmed what I was wondering over these two days. I also took 0.25mg of Adex last night and this morning I already have slight improvements, I will certainly improve things tomorrow and then E3D I will continue along this line until the exams in 14 days..
Being in the same situation as @TheIcon and having the symptoms in the same week, I wonder if I can define myself as a person who aromatizes a lot more than average?
I don't have any lengthy experience but from reading I wouldn't consider myself an above average aromatizer. With the longer ester Test its usually why its recommended to get bloods in the week 5 ballpark cause this is when most likely things will start to occur. I also take into consideration the amount of Test. While 400-450mg isn't alot its no TRT level either. Ive read many people on doses less that 200mg having issues. Id consider them above average aromatizers before someone taking 400+mg and having slight side effects after 4 weeks. Just my rookie thoughts but Ill let the more experienced people chime in if they like.
On TRT levels of Test 160mg my (Trough Numbers) Total test was around 1400, Free Test around 226 and Estradiol was 64. (Peak Numbers) Total test 2000, Free Test 400, Estradiol 110. All of which was perfectly fine for me with no issues.
I also don't have a lot of experience with it (it's my first cycle and I'm having the same symptoms as you in the same period of time with 500mg/ week of Testo E). For this reason I wanted to understand what is meant by the subject who aromatizes a lot: those who have high E2 effects in a short period with low doses, those who still have visible effects of E2 regardless of the dose of the product(s) or vice versa.
When I get nipple sensitivity I take .5 arimidex and it's gone two days later
Thanks. This is what I was looking for. Some people make it sound like magic and within the hour its gone.
Nah. Not at all. I've had it before here id take .5 and another .5 two days later before it was COMPLETELY gone as well. I've never really felt that .25 did much of anything for mine BUT I really let my shit go before taking Arimidex and once the sensitivity is gone I won't touch it again until it's irritable again. I've been researching aromasin and next blast I'll be trying that as it's a suicidal AI and I think will work better for me than arimidex. Not my experience yet just my thought
If you only going to pop it sporadically Inot that I recommend that) then you will want to use asin since the adex does't kill off the estro, it is still floating around and when the adex wears off you will have an estro rebound. Adex should be used consistently so you don't keep yo-yoing. Same with asin, you will still yo-yo if not taken consistently but the yo-yo takes longer since you now have to build the estro back up since the asin being a suicide inhibitor killed it off.
Good to know. Yeah I wouldn't take it on a scheduled strict regiment.
.25 every third day and get blood test end of next week. Arimidex is a constant til post cycle therapy starts.
Thank you for this info. Would this still be necessary if Masteron is in the mix? I just completed an eight week cycle and weirdly didn’t need any Arimadex and I’m guessing it was because of the Masteron. At least it did something for me I guess. I’ll definitely follow your arimadex protocol moving forward. I’ve only ever used it to shut shit down in a panic. I’d prefer to run it correctly. Thanks!
Ive already had blood test appointment set up for end of next week anyway. (end of week 5) So should work out perfectly with timing.
I was debating on taking it every 3.5 days or if I should wait to see if symptoms start to creep back up then take it. I want to use AI as little as possible.
If you had a flare up, you will need to take it until end of cycle or it will just happen again. Need to be proactive instead of reactive now. .25mg E3D until of cycle. Adjust dosage as needed with bloodwork but that is a pretty standard dosage for the majority of people to keep estro in safe range.
Thanks for the protocol
Hope you didn't really take 25mg Adex! Lol! Anyhow, Adex is supposedly 24 hours to reduce that estro 70%. Hoping you meant .25 or.5 of it though. Shit ain't good for the body.
I know!! I kept re reading the post and then scanning comments to see if he said that was a typo, or a crazy paranoid AI overdose lol
Wasn't really a typo. Just me being lazy on my phone typing. Which is a good lesson for myself and reminder to others. You put "25" and assume others know you meant ".25" but when it comes to drugs/medicines/etc. decimal points matter. Especially if others are reading and don't fully understand. So like I said good reminder lesson fo rmyself to slow down and type stuff out specifically cause you never know who is reading.
haha Yes I meant .25 of Adex. Not 25. Aromasin I would have taken 25.
