Is Femara That Much Better Than Arimidex???

[macrophage69alpha]

they are all different and people will respond to them differently.

There is no one BEST one.

FEMARA is VERY strong. To strong for some. some (perhaps many) may need to add a bit of clomid.
Aromasin is not as strong but many find it less negative on lipid profile and emotions.
DEX is probably the weakest, at least from a complete suppression standpoint, but it is also very well tolerated.

ideally they can be rotated and changed to find what works best for YOU with EACH cycle.

btw- what you stack with your test can have a HUGE impact on how you fare with each of these. especially with respect to lipids, emotions, sexual function and recovery.


ramble..ramble..

the above represent observations and are purely theoretical musings, only somewhat backed by the research...

Please keep us posted biganth01. I'm quite interested in hearing people's opinions on Aromasin, i was going to use it this cycle but opted not to and went with arimidex. For those who've used it, what doses did you use and how does it compare to Arimidex?

Last I heard it was concluded that femara had a positive impact on IGF-1, but the jury was still out on how aromasin affected it.
Taking any anti-e's during your cycle will affect your gains, as it will keep your water weight down. Not only will this affect how much weight you gain, but it will noticeably reduce your strength gains because you won't have all that "water strength". I added 1mg arimidex EOD and 25mg nolva ED to my bulk cycle, and my gains have actually either stagnated or crept back a bit. I don't mind though as I think that what I gain will be more easily kept and I won't have such a dramatic loss when I come off.
Peace,

What do you guys mean by it "messes up your Lipid profile (cholesterol)"????

Means it will significantly lower your HDL and raise your LDL.

What do you guys using femara use as a standard with test; in other words the majority seem to say 0.25mg of armidex per 250mg of test so what about with femara. Was planning on using 1000mg of test and giving femara a try was thinking 2.5mg tab eod to be the same as taking 1mg of armidex/day???. What have others found to be a good standard. thanks

I have some pre existing gyno on my left side,Aromasin definatly seems to be helping,has definatly reduced pain and swelling.

 

[dissto]

what about post cycle? would femara work better, along with clomid to restore your hormonal axis over arimidex? i got some femara for post cycle, but am wondering if i should run arimidex instead.??

Ok, so what are you really saying here, most bros would be better off just going with dex or l-dex?

I'm living proof, I just finished a cycle about a month ago and took 1mg arimidex ed...then I had my blood work done the week of my last injection....According to my doctor, normal HDL levels should be over 35...they actually would like it to be at least double that. The tests revealed that I had an HDL count of 3...scared the fucking shit out me! It's been about 3-4 weeks since then and I've had them retested this morning...I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
