Arimidex, feeling drowsy.

ad

Hey guys, I'm almost finished with my third week on test e. the only sides I have had are acne and increased labido. I have taken 2 arimidex doses at .25 mg and the acne has slowed. I've experienced great results thus far but the arimidex makes me feel drowsy. I'm thinking of lowering the dose further. Any thoughts?

Arimidex/aromasin/letro etc even in very small (quarter of 1m adex) doses, it takes my estro way too low to benefit muscle growth I am dry and stiff in the gym,not to mention the tiredness and down feeling.
AI's are very powerful meds which should only be employed in serious gyno, high blood pressure from water retention etc etc. Nolva or Prov is plenty strong enough.

Honestly, I've found that I'm super sensitive to Adex. I literally had the same exact problem, and then some! I dosed adex .25mg E2D as it's my first cycle and didn't know my body yet. The first 4 weeks was literally hell. I was tired all the time, I didn't have any superman feeling or sense of well being. I laid off of it for a week and OMG the difference is night and day!! I actually am enjoying my cycle now! I still pop .25 mg once a week, and as soon as I take it I feel depressed and tired for two days or so until my estrogen builds back up.

It's crazy though! .25mg/week does it for me, and goes beyond. I'd try taking a week off and I promise you'll see. That is if you are sensitive to it, like I am.

Adex is a super powerful drug and it just kinda shocked me how much it effected me, I usually have a pretty high medication tolerance. But what you have described is exactly how I feel on it. Without the depression.

Thanks, I'm going to try to lower dose then if that does not work ill try .25 mg a week.

You need the adex.( or similiar) Don't play with your hormones with
the on and off.

I know I need them. I don't plan on not taking them. I just need to adjust a little. I can't not take the Adex because of sides.
