Anastrozole Side Effects

[boaterkevin]

Has anyone experienced chest tightness or what I would describe as an occasional "heavy heartbeat"? My current protocol is 150mg Cyp/Wk, 1200iu HCG/Wk and .25mg Anastrozole daily. This feeling seemed to coincide with the start of the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) which was prescribed due to my E2 being elevated. Any info/thoughts appreciated.

Dude .25 daily would kill me! Every joint in my body would ache n would be lethargic. Try .25 every other day n see if that helps. I can't even do .25 every other day. I do .25 3x a week that's all I can take.

I agree that it is on the high side (especially after searching all the posts related to AI's). However, I feel I should stay with the dosage prescribed until my next Doc visit/Lab which is next week. I'm sure the lab results will indicate my E2 is below normal range. I've deviated from the Doc's protocol in the past and nothing ever good comes from it (currently on lower test dose due to pinning a few extra mg's of test and not backing it down before labs... busted). Hopeing to get away from an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) all together. Nasty stuff IMO.

The direct side effects from Adex is over time it lowers GH production and may effect lipids negatively.

Other sides from it is caused from E2 that its being manipulating.

When u feel some type of side effect from something means back off lol

yup, i cant even touch ana, because my lipids get destroyed thats why i always use exemanstane,(sp) (aromasin)

but tried like 1/2 a pill 3 times a week and after 2-4 weeks crashed my e2!

so i learned 1 pill every wed, and thats it!

so yeah once u feel sides, lower it, or even go off for a week or 2 like i did untill i turned into a bitch and got all snappy and emotional, then started back up!

gl!

If my upcoming labs indicate an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) is still needed, I intend to switch to something other than Anastrozole. My ultimate goal is to get away from an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) all toghether by smaller more frequent test & Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injections. I can't imagine taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) long term is good for you. Can anyone suggest what Lab tests to ask for or does requesting a "Lipid Profile" cover everything possibly effected by an AI?

from my experience and some others:


the best way to alleviate the usage of an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) is to break ur pins up into 2 smaller pins per week,

but with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) i also had to take my dosage and cut it in half for 2 times a week pins as well,

just a suggestion try it out if ud like?
