Adex & pct
ad
Just began my pct for first cycle of 250 mg test x twice a week.
Running clomid at a 100 mg daily for two weeks than dropping down to 50 mg daily for the following two weeks
Along with nolva at 40 mg daily for two weeks than dropping down to 20 mg daily.
everything I've read always talks about running aromasin at 12.5 mg Ed because it's a suicide inhibitor. My question is, is adex suitable to run through the pct and if so what would the dosing look like? Haven't came across much either for or against adex in pct. any feed back is appreciated. Thank you

No, I would recommend against adex during PCT!
As Carlos already mentioned, Look up type 1 and type 2 aromatase inhibitors.
Ari only attaches and by that blocks the aromatase enzyme which is responsible for the production of estrogen.
Aromasin on the other hand disables the aromatase enzym permanently, so estro can never attach to those enzyms.
That means, as soon as the Ari gets out of your system, all the Estro which couldn't aromatize is now able to bind to aromatise enzyms which then leads to the known estrogen rebound.
There are other effects of the drugs as well but those seem to be the most important for your question
Ok, I've found a good bit on type 1 and type 2 ai's. Understanding that adex only stops it temporarily where arom stops it for good. My question now is run the pct without adex or arom or run the pct with adex till I get my hands on some aromasin and then make that switch?
It's not necessary to run an AI during PCT.
I can only say that I personally always use a low dose of Aromasin because I always get an estro rebound due to I run Ari during cycle.
Have you ever exp. high estro issues during PCT?
Further, Nolvadex and Ari interfere with each other and decreases their effect by a large amount.
That's the thing, as I posted in my original post this is my first cycle so I don't know. Just trying to make sure I go about it the right way. I'd rather be on the safe side though
Yeah, totally get that. I always recommend of being on the safe side and spent a bit more money if necessary
That's the plan going to order arom today. I figure I shouldnt run into too many issues over the next week or so while I wait on its delivery. And I guess at the absolute worst take another dose of adex...
Figured nolva/clomid would be good. But again rather safe than sorry
Don't do it. Look up type 1 and type 2 aromatase inhibitors. It will explain why it's not commonly done or recommended
And just like that came across adex/pct it was recommended at .50 mg eod. Seems high as I ran adex .50 mg e4d through my cycle and didn't have any problems. Again any advice is welcome
