+ 2 >1mg Arimidex a day
This isn't my 1st cycle, so I kind of know my body by now, but I am having to take over 1mg of Arimidex a day right now.
I'm running 500mg/wk Test E, 40mg/day Anavar.
My 1st few cycles I was running 350-500mg test e and was only having to use about .25-.5(during a bad flair up) every other day or every 3 days. It seems insane that I'm having to up my arimidex to 1mg or more each day. Granted I am a few body fat % higher than those first few cycles, but this still seems crazy. I'm ~17%bf right now (I got a little fat last winter), and my next dexa scan soon will confirm my current BF.
It feels to me that my Arimidex is a bad batch or damaged/denatured or something. Like it seems way less effective, and adex is a strong ass AI. This has been going on for a few weeks. I don't have bloods right now, so I can't tell you what my E2 is, but I can feel when it's high or low. Also, when I have to run Adex high, I tend to get some negative side effects I recognize, and I'm not getting nay of those, which really leads me to believe I have a bad batch of adex.
Any thoughts?
Spoiler: I know you're gonna tell me to get bloods. I will... lol

Is anyone with experience available to check out my profile and do a quick Q&A with me please? I'm mid-cycle and could REALLY use some advice!
Make a forum post of your issue if you want people to respond.
im in the same boat. I can take 1 mg of adex a day and not crash out. its wierd. and ive tried 5 or 6 different brand of AI's. SURELY not all of them were bunk. Im REALLY wanting to dry prescription grade adex or stane. right now I use 25 mg of stane every day and my e2 seems to be regulated.
E2 is something I'm struggling with rn as well. New user and I have zero idea what to expect with the hig/low e2.
Following.
1mg a day will crash your e2 no matter what. I take half a mg eod with like 800mg test a week and hcg.
TricepatopsDam. Only get AI stuff from a trusted source and lab but the best is pharma grade as there is no guessing if it is dosed or bunk. I have and I bet many others have learned the hard way and never buy from a peptide place.
1mg/day of adex and I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed. Ever.
A mind can play funny game,..............except on a blood test.
What kind of symptoms are you experiencing?
I was having some ED, I was not waking up with morning wood(which is insane, I am a horny as mf when I'm not on cycle) water retention and bloating, the nipple sensitivity/moob feeling you get from a gyno flairup. I've crushed my E2 before and Ive had none of those symptoms: achy joints, chest pain, sleepy af all day, etc.
I started upping the adex to what I said above and felt this reduce the high e2 symptoms but not disappear completely. I have a feeling my batch was somehow damaged or denatured.
How many days have you been at the higher dose?
Probably 2-3 now. I was upping very slowly so I didn't crush my e2. I was taking .25 ed a week ago when I noticed the high e2 symptoms, so I gradually went up to ~.5/day, 2 days ago I took ~.5-.75mg, Yesterday and today I took 1mg.
Now you will probably crash your estro. You really need to get some bloodwork done instead of all this guessing.
I know, I know... I'll get it scheduled today. To be safe in the meantime, I think I'm gonna skip a day or 2 of adex. I thought Arimidex reaches full concentration between 24-36 hours?
When I fell behind in my AI during my first cycle it took about 5 days before I started noticing any relief. Few more days after that to bring it back down to normal. It doesn't happen overnight.
your Adex is bunk. Get bloodwork.
RustyhookerAgree.....and bloods
