Why do you say the lowest dose of adex is .25mg e3d?

Here is my experience. I used adex for years. Liked it. Exemestane became pretty popular so I really looked into it. I liked the safety profile of it, I like the way it worked (comparing type 1 to type 2 ai's). I switched to stane. It took quite a while to dial in my dosage and frequency of administration. I ended up needing more of it and to take it more often than I thought. It was to the point I almost gave up on it and just went back to dex. Based on my bloodwork y lipids etc really are around the same as dex, slightly better but insginificant. If I was succcessfully taking dex - I would not switch. If I was just starting with an ai - Id try stane. It is very forgiving. Its hard to crash your e2 with stane, not with dex. I like that. For me I needed to dose it daily to manage my e2 I also needed more than people say. I often think that people that say oh on a 500mg/week test cyce 12.5 mg stane eod is where they are or some even less than that there is no way they are basing this off of blood work. I based my dosing off of blood work and I need 25mg/day at that dose of test man. It just isnt as powerful in males as people think. I would dose it daily no matter how low I went in dosing so for trt even if you took like 6.25mg/day fine but Id take it daily, not eod. Eod was a roller coaster for me.

Thanks for reply.
Even with the best TRT protocol and twice weekly injections estradiol is tricky to manage with adex...
I always seem to be slightly highish or lowish...
Its just the way adex works.
Interesting about the aromasin not being easy to crash estradiol with. Thats a big plus.
Aromasin could be used in a restart as well?
Its not suppressive to the HPTA ?

Im not so quick to agree with that. You see it has steroidal properties as well being a type 1 ai. I dont think it is and there is no rebound (not that I think thats a big issue) but Im not big using an ai on a restart per se. Scally has changed his position and added in stane so its prob not only ok but maybe prudent but I still have reservations as far as ai's and their place in a pct or a restart. The benefits of using say tamox and clomid on a restart as opposed to say just tamox are the not only the estrogen antagonist effect of the serms but the agonist effects as well. What effect does an ai have on this is my question/concern.

Why s it hard to crash e2 with aromasin compared with arimidex?
