How much arimidex for 200mg test Reddit

I've been on doctor prescribed TRT for a couple of months now with no AI and developed some sensitive nips and gyno. Based on this and my latest e2 test my doc just prescribed me Arimidex at 1mg every day. Reading here and other places it looks like .25 or .5 every 2 or 3 days is more common.

Am I going to screw myself up on 1mg every day? I'm just trying to get an idea of whether that's a reasonable dosage or not. Should I question my doc on it or just try it and see what happens?

**UPDATE: I'm going to go for it at 1mg per day. For science. And to be sure my boobs go away since my doc won't consider any type of SERM so I'm stuck with arimidex only. At the first signs of low E2 symptoms I'll try reducing the dose.

I took my first 1mg this morning. Any last minute advice or warnings?**

UPDATE 2: For anyone reading this somewhere down the road, I took 1mg arimidex per day and eventually crashed my E2 after 3 weeks or so. Felt like crap, sore joints, etc. Sensitive E2 test came back " < 3 ". For me, at least, 1mg per day was way too much.

I am currently on 200mg Test-C and 100mg nandrolone twice a week as well as 25mg winstrol twice a week, and my doctor prescribed me Anastrozole 1mg per day because my Estradiol is 50. Do you think 1mg per day is a little too much? Don't want to crash my estrogen.

level 1

1mg per day will nuke your estrogen to zero. Very bad idea.

level 1

1mg a day is super high for like 99 percent of people. I'm on 200mg test cyp minus nandrolone and .5 anastrozole per week is perfect.

level 2

It's useful to know that a low dose of anastrozole works well for some people.

Do you dose once or twice per week?

level 1

I take half of a 0.125mg pill EOD. That takes my e2 from 80’s to 50’s.

So I’m basically taking half your daily dose as my weekly dose.

Now with that said. If my e2 was 50 I wouldn’t take an AI at all. Unless you have symptoms of course.

level 1

Do yourself a favor, dick punch that doctor and find a new one. Hell 1mg a WEEK is enough to crash most guys e2, much less a mg every day.

level 2

Mine put me on 1mg a week and my estriadol is an 8!! Fuck man. I just stopped taking it as of today when I read all this. I’ve been crashing like crazy. I’m 5 weeks in trt. What a joke

level 1

i am on 180mg test-c, 500iu hcg, 12.5mg clomid eod. My E2 hit 59. Last time it was this high doc put me on 0.5mg anastrazole A WEEK, my E2 dropped to 19 .... Now to prevent a severe drop I am taking 0.25mg a week.

level 2

That is what I did. I cut one in half and took it this morning. Today was my first dose

level 1

1mg a day will probably crash your estrogen. Are you having high estrogen symptoms?

level 2

Not yet other than bloods showed estradiol at 50, so doc put me on it

level 1

Way way way too much! Your dr is not educated in this field if he is prescribing like that

level 1

50 is not bad for E2 when you're on TRT

level 2

Thank You for the advice. I will see what my next blood work is and go from there. in the mean time I will go with .5/week until then

1-2 weeks: 750mg Test E(*)

3-12 weeks : 500mg Test E

(*) (front load it: Why : otherwise you will only start feeling it after 3 to 4 weeks. its a slow ester)

During it, i would take 0.25mg arimedex on monday, wednesday and friday. You don't have to, but you are going to have a big spike in estrogen if you don't (especially if you are not lean)

Also don't take other compounds for your first cycle. This is a good 1st cycle.

Also, this is pointless if you are not going to eat clean with enough protein, fats, etc. No alcohol. no fastfood (bloathy Mc Bloat face). Eat a lot, eat healthy, train 5 times a week and do reps, don't rupture a tendon at the end of your cycle (your strenght will go up but not the quality of your tendons. So increare your weight a bit, but not to much). If you do this, its impossible not to have great results.

Follow up with PCT.
No proper PCT : 4 weeks after your cycle you will start to get tired a lot, lose gains, get itchy nips and basically get fat in the weeks/months after that. The gains are easy, keeping them not so much :)

(alternative first cycle : forget the test E. Start 8 week Winny Depot cycle. 50mg a day. add lean muscle and a much easier pct and easier to keep gains. If you start out lean, you become shredded. If you are a bit fat, you become lean. What's not to like? Second cycle 6 months later, a test E cycle)
