Well I tries the masterbation test a couple nights back after I started testosterone and was much harder to get hard. Were as just a couple days before that I had to do a sperm test and was on no testosterone and was able to get really hard.
Arimidex dosage does seem really tricky.
" An atrophied prostate is unable to convert as much testosterone to DHT as it originally did" This would probably mean supplimenting with DHT would fix us up right? In my case DHT did nothing.
I have some estrogen cream here. I can use that if I go too low. Maybe it is a good idea to have that around if you are using arimidex.
Do you think your doses are overlapping? This seems to suggest not.
“The relationship between dose and response, measured as suppression of serum estradiol, was studied in postmenopausal women. Daily doses of anastrozole at 1 mg for 14 days produced estradiol suppression of greater than 80%. Suppression of serum estradiol was maintained for up to 6 days after cessation of daily dosing with 1 mg anastrozole.”
The tissue definitely changed during therapy with finasteride, but Andractim reversed it.
I’m certain that my testosterone level dropped at least 50% while using Propecia, based on symptoms, and my brother and father’s blood test results. The penile muscles WILL atrophy if that happens. During the first months I was using Propecia, I had regularly muscle pain down there. I could feel that the muscles got weaker every time. At the end, the muscles failed to contract by themselves, and it sometimes felt like I was going to shit myself when I stood up too fast. Another interesting observation is that before I used Propecia, my erections would stand straight out, and when I contracted the muscles, the penis would get pumped, and raise slightly upwards. Now, it’s pointing upwards, and when I contract my muscles, it gets pulled downwards - at least 1 cm…
If you have the same problem with the glans, and truly believe that this is caused by changes in the tissue, please do a test; when you have a fairly solid erection, squeeze the penis shaft with your index finger and thumb, and contract the muscles. If it gets hard, it’s the muscles… Your testosterone level is in top of the normal range, and I don’t believe that your penile muscles have atrophied like in my case, as testosterone maintains the muscles - but I believe that you’re dealing with estrogen dominance, and that you’re DHT deficient. This could explain the problem, because DHT increases muscle strength…
Rubbing Andractim on the penis should increase the prostate size after a while. I don’t feel any effects from Andractim or Proviron either, unless my testosterone/estrogen ratio is close to optimal. At that point, it’s explosive. It causes raging libido.
I mean, if you are taking arimidex evey 7 days, your estrogen should be back to normal by the time the 7 days are finished. This is at least what the document says.
Of course eveyone is different.
I have estradiol cream here. Have you thought about buying some? So if you do go too low you can just take some to get yourself back up?
I don’t know about that. I just looked at the article, and I wonder if the estrogen level returned to baseline value within 6 days, or if it remained suppressed by more than 80% for 6 days… Arimidex has a half-life of… 2 days. I thought it was 3 days. That changes things a bit with the lower dosages - but 1 mg anastrozole should still be active after 7 days. Day 1: 1 mg, Day 3: 0.5 mg, Day 5: 0.25 mg, Day 7: 0.125 mg. 125 mcg is enough to cause problems.
I have experimented with Estraderm patches (25 mcg), and it’s not recommended. I recommend that you use extra testosterone instead.
Where do you get this info “but 1 mg anastrozole should still be active after 7 days. Day 1: 1 mg, Day 3: 0.5 mg, Day 5: 0.25 mg, Day 7: 0.125 mg. 125 mcg is enough to cause problems.” ?
So do you mean that after 2 days your estrogen is back to its normal level/not suppressed? I am feeling very good on test e 77mg a week. But 0 libido. I am going to get on the arimidex in a week or so if libido does not come back.
My prostate volume was just below 30 ml (normal range: 20 - 30 ml), so an atrophied prostate doesn’t seem to be the problem. However, there is no way of knowing if it was larger before treatment with finasteride. That said, estrogen dominance may cause prostate enlargement. I know that I’m DHT deficient - and I still believe that it has something to do with the prostate.
When the half-life of a drug is 2 days, it means that the amount of drug in your system will be reduced by 50% every two days. Take a look at the example with 1 mg Arimidex.
I’ve tried dosages ranging from 0.05 mg (50 mcg) to 1 mg. I’m using at least 100 me TE a week, and when I inject once a week and take Arimidex on the same day, it seems as 0.25 mg Arimidex is not enough. 0.5 mg seems to be pretty good in my case, but obviously it was a bit too much for me in the long run. Microdoses or multiple doses over a week, are a lot harder to manage according to my experience.
Symptoms are tricky, because sexually wise - the symptoms are the same when the estrogen level is too high or too low. Libido disappears, and so does the morning erections (the most important indicator of a healthy testosterone/estrogen ratio), ED gets worse, sensitivity gets reduced… However, there is a difference; too low estrogen level causes aching joints (you can hear the joints crack too), and the muscle strength gets reduced. Another thing I’ve noticed; when the estrogen level raises too much, you’ll lose morning erections and get softer erections, but libido will increase before it disappears. When the estrogen level is suppressed too much, everything happens at the same time.
Hmm thanks for that. When I got my libido back at the start of this thread I was on .1 every second day and I think after the second dose I got my libido back. So that was after .2MG. I was not on any testosterone at that time. But I wonder if that is a good guideline for me.
Hi, have you ever experienced increase in sensation in penis and intense orgasms on arimidex? You said that you had great libido while on it. Are all of those effects gone after stopping the usage of the drug? Also how about your semen volume is it ever increased? Thanks.
dont waste your time with drugs and hormones if they work it only lasts a very short time. Work on improving your overall health with super good diet, exercise sun and constant detoxing.
I took full dose With cycling it restored libido but I couldn’t take it indefinitely because it caused jaundice.
I switched aromasin and i am cycling it. When i increase intervals libido goes down and when i start to decrease interval and increase dose libido goes up.
