@Cheapshot sorry to keep bugging you but I haven't seen anyone else has used aromasin. Most people go with arimidex. I just have two other questions, did you run it for long and did you notice any Lipid toxicity or raise in cholesterol? I've read a few places that it doesn't have any negative Lipid effects but then others say the opposite.

That's interesting, I would have said that the majority of guys use Asin over Adex most of the time. Lot's use both depending on what's going on but for steady use (prophylactic?) I'd say Asin with the lipid effect you mention as one of the main reasons and finickiness of dosing and over-responder syndrome being an issue for many with Adex

No changes for me cause I run such a small dose. 12.5mg a week was my max. But I would never use it as part of trt long term. The longest I ever ran it was about 15 weeks and that was on alot of gear, so everything was high..lol

Yea I'm at 350 test and 12.5 mg aromasin every 3 days. I'm expecting when I hit 500mg yest I'll probably be at least at 25mg every 3 days

Geez i guess its not that long. Google said 24 hours for aromasin. I was thinking 96hrs for some reason. That's how I always ran it ffs

Aromasin is a more complex drug than arimidex. Killing the enzymes that convert test to estrogen is not at all the same as binding to estrogen. From my experience, going low from overusing aromasin is so much worse than adex. My personal experience is that it can take weeks to recover, b/c it's recovery of the enzymes. It's also a steriodal ai, which complicates its use due to all the downstream effects. So, when it says a 24hr half life, (as you well know) that's just the amount that is in your system, however, guys need to be mindful of how much action has taken place in the first 24hrs wrt killing off enzymes. Again, my experience has been that I will not feel the full effect of the drug until several days later. If I notice an immediate water dump and surge in libido I've likely taken too much and going low. I don't find adex affects me the same. I either benefit or not, but I don't have the rest of the shitshow that I get if I've taken too much asin.
That said, my experiences have been on lower dosed test.

I think that's what happened to me lol. I feel horrible, exhausted, body aches, anxiety, lethargy. I'll stop the aromasin for a while and see if it clears up

Yeah, that's a lot of aromasin, even at 350mg/wk. Oh yeah, not much feels worse than killing off all your aromatase enzymes. What you are left with is high FT, high DHT, and very low E2. Very tired during the day, shit sleep, hyper emotional, super anxious, and the list goes on. If you have any GH I would recommend taking some for a couple weeks, or even some HCG. The GH may help boost aromatase production. HCG will boost intra-testicular estrogen, which would should ease you through the process.
I don't envy you at all, I went low for a few days and I was very obsessive and imbalanced for a good week and a half.

Thanks for the tips brother much appreciated

Aromasin is a suicide inhibitor instead of a blocker. Any mistakes are costly as mentioned it takes time to rebound and wacking in MENT is not something I want to do (chasing and yo-yo'ing). Blockers are nice but once they are out it's show time for estrogen.

My personal feeling is that many take AI's when they actually don't need them. Test and estrogen play a dance in the body. My use for AI's is about the same time as PCT- 2wks or so after stopping test. Since the body is losing test and estrogen is coming up right behind it in force this is when I use a suicide inhibitor and gently remove some estrogen to allow the body a chance to balance back out a bit quicker. It's not much at all- say 500mg/wk test I would take 12.5mg Aromasin E3D for 12 days. That's it. If it's precautionary then it's a safe dosage and duration. If I feel sides over and above I can adjust on the fly. Nothing wrong with using a sledgehammer like letrozole if it's limited dosage and duration either.

Yea I was feeling a bit of Insomnia, Sensitive nips and softer wood so I started popping aromasin. I think I'll wait now until it's more extreme issues like bloating and high blood pressure and no wood. Just to be on the safe side
