ad
First and foremost I hope everyone is healthy and safe ! A lot of great information has been shared here lately.
Which AI do you use on TRT ? How much do you use ? How often ?
Exemestane ( Aromasin )
Anastrozole ( Arimidex )
Letrozole ( Femara )
I currently have Aromasin & Arimidex on hand but have not needed it for TRT! If i were to start , I would use 6.25mg Aromasin
All are welcome to share !

The goal should be to find a dose where you don’t need one
I try not to use one at all. Microdose for stable levels, stay lean and try to push it as far as i can with the test before i need an AI
None of the above. I use an otc supp called DIM. I don’t convert to estrogen at a high level though. Never need much AI even on high doses of test so it’s a non issue on my 150mg trt dose with dim.
None
I currently work through an online clinic, and when my e2 got high (135 range), they sent me Anastrozole, which I take .5mg 2x a week. I will get labs done this month and see where my e2 is at. Overall, I felt flat when e2 was high. Since taking it, I've felt better, four weeks in, and now I feel a bit different. I get it, though, all of this is dialing in, and it takes time. I also wonder if recomposing my body and coming down in BF changes the amount of AI that I may need. I am a one-variable-at-a-time kind of person, so after this next batch of labs, I will see if I stay the course at this dosage or adjust for less/more per week and see where things go. My approach to a TRT clinic was to get smart on what to do, how to interpret bloodwork, and feel better overall with someone who knows what they are doing. What I am learning though, is that there are a lot of folks who work TRT clinics, but don't necessarily have your best interest in mind the way you would think that they do. Hence, I found myself here on these pages, and started to look for other sources that have a legit product and members who can help interpret or answer questions along the way.
None.
My doctor would prescribe anastrozole
But when i look over this thread i guess it could of just been a money maker for the company
Primo
None. Real healthy range should have you around 600 and your body does the rest.
My clinic gave me Anastrozole to use on an as needed basis if my nips get sensitive. I'm on 100mg twice a week and I have not needed to use it yet!
None. Bloods in real dr prescribed trt range need none
@Jockstrap What's real trt range in your opinion? And what is his trt? Cause no ai should be needed
I prefer to keep my e2 high since it’s heart and neuroprotective.
I do keep some aromasin on hand though in case I might be starting to get gynecomastia.
HarleyDavidsonEagleHow long does it take you personally to start noticing that your aromasin is working ? Have you had any previous blood test of how much it had lowered from one week to the following week ? Send me a FR
Exactly this.
HarleyDavidsonEagleHow high do you let your e2 get before you take something ? First thing I usually notice is excessive bloat throughout the day . Have that moon face feeling
I’ve never taken an ai. I have it for peace of mind. My e2 levels have gotten as high as low 50s and I feel fine. No gyno, regular emotions.
HarleyDavidsonEagleNo bloat feeling ?
AK80All those places down in Florida looooove to make $ off of us with the Anastrazole. $1 per pill! And no, they don't accept insurance! More frequent injections, cialis, Primo, Masteron, Proviron are all good alternatives. Aromasin, anastrazole and other traditional AI's will mess up your cholesterol and can cause other issues. It's an old school way of doing things unless you're taking over a gram of gear per week in my opinion.
Why would you need an AI for TRT? Would you wear a bicycle helmet for a stationary bike machine? Unless you one of them guys on 600mg and call it TRT lol
Some people on 200mg say they need it. I personally have never needed it even on a 500mg blast before. I have it on hand just in case though.
Only reason a "doctor" would prescribe 200mg is because they are a low responder so 200 would still only put you normal range. Now a "clinic" prescribing would put you in high range and they dont care what your level is. I can see a clinic patient needing an AI but can we really call clinic treatment TRT compared to "doctor" TRT?
HarleyDavidsonEagleGood information! I do not need the AI on TRT but always have it on hand just incase ! Everyone responds differently but key point as we all know is bloodwork
So where is your blood work?
