arimidex side effect or something else

[lunchboxmedic]

I've been trying to find my answer everywhere and feel that none pertains to my situation. I'm on first cycle of 500 test e split per week. I'm now taking .25 arimidex eod.

I started the arimidex after getting sore and puffy nipples around week 2-3. which cleared up after taking .25 arimidex ED. I then decided to taper back to .25 eod to see how I'd feel after thinking I was getting minor ED sides. (I would get hard and be ready for sex, but would lose hardness during sex, could be mental who knows) anyway. I'm on .25 eod doing good and feeling good buy around 5 pm I start getting headaches that are mild to moderate that become milder around 0100. I am much more energetic at night too and don't want to sleep.

I've been keeping up with my BP and its been constantly normal to 130s/60-80s at night during headaches. I've put on about 12-15 lbs as well. I'm sure mostly water.

So I'm not feeling this is mainly a bp issue. But has anyone had this happen? Did you treat for bp instead or increase arimidex back to .25 ed/.5 eod? BC powder sometimes helps. I also do have some bloat around the face but I wouldn't say moon face either.

Or should I just deal with the headaches for the next 4-6 weeks while I finish the cycle?

Pretty inconvenient if you ask me.

Your ED issues are due to your estradiol being too low. Stop Arimidex until your morning wood returns then take .25 every three days.

Well I decided to take the guess work out and goto look test yesterday with results today.

Test 1490
estradiol 27.5
LH .1
fsh <.2

Now I thought my estrogen may have been high so I took .25 arimidex 2 hours before the test. Would that have affected the results?

Does anything seem unusual of this lab result?

Besides the low LH and FSh which would be expected.

Your total test seems low for 500mg a week. What is the range on your lab slip for e2?

 

[lunchboxmedic]

7.6 -42.6

Test levels prior to tRt Were 344

Also test is from an UGL would not be surprised if it's not the best Quality either

A lot of guys are taking far too much of the AI's.
Small dosages of ARIMIDEX or LETRO every 3rd or 4th
day is typically plenty. I use LETRO currently @ only
2 x per week.

Looks like you are right in the middle of the range for E2. Your Test level being low from 500mg is now obvious seeing that your source is UGL. Try to get legit gear.

Personally I use .25 mg Adex e3 days.

Well since I took a pill in the morning before the test making it .5 eod equivalent I'm going to take .25 one day half that the next and skip sundays. I had gyno issues around week 3. Sore puffy nipple and high anxiety/emotions

Legit gear is a great idea.....granted....only as good as my options ya know.
