Arimidex side effects (switch to nolvadex)

[Doomedonthebayou]

So I started my test only cycle at end of December. I'm a month in an start noticing a few things: Hot flashes, cramping, stomach pains, and burning joint pains. My joints(namely knees and hops and knuckles) have been burning, especially during workout. So I go on this forum, among others, and read some medical articles and everything I am feeling is pouting towards arimidex. I upped my daily dosage to combat some nipple issues, but it wasn't helping and I started feeling like shit. I've been off of it for two days now and I am already feelin better. I took the tamoxifen and as of today, the nipple stuff has gone away.

So, to the vets, how does this sound? I'm considering not taking any Aromatase inhibitor (AI) or serm until absolutely necessary. And then just taking some low dose (<20mg) nolvadex when needed.

Help please. I have access to a lot of stuff, so any advice would be appreciated.

I'm running test Cyp. I'm at 450 mg q10 days. Also considering going down to 300-350 a week. I'm not a body builder. I fight and am taking six months off to Healy, strengthen, and train. 31. 6'. 180. Fight at 155.

Any advice?

You could try aromasin instead of adex to see if that changes anything. And... Damn, why do you cut 25lbs to fight at 155? Why not just fight in a little higher weight class? Just my ignorant curiosity kicking in.

sound like you overdosed adex, crashed your e levels. you dont need but .25mg q 2-3days for most people. nolva will stop the gyno but i wouldn't take nolva all cycle long, try aromasin as suggested.

Get letro. Nolva is not an ai.

Says the guy with a picture of a naked dude for his avatar... I don't know if you fight, but I know I'm goin to get every advantage I can when facing a trained monster Ina cage standing across from me. It's pretty sobering to know that, like you, he has wanted nothing more than to bathe in your blood for the last 8 wks.

Most 55er's walk around close to 175-180. 10 of those pounds will shed first two weeks of camp. Just have to cut out things like bread and peanut butter and rice and chocolate. I've conifer ed going up to 170, but those guys are huge (walk around close to 200). A good amount of 170 guys could easily fight at 185 and still be big. Plus, the 155 guys in my state and bigger than I am. Lots of big boys out here.

I'm def going to snag up some aromasin. Thanks for the advice.

I'm considering just running a lower dose of test and abandoning the use of a consistent Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and just keeping nolvadex on hand just in case. From everything I've been reading on AI's, they seem to cause a lot of issues for folks (myself apparently being one of them). I plan on running this cycle for a long time, so low dose (250-300 wk) might just be the answer. Some times less is more?

personaly 250-300mg is still higher than any testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose , but unless i was planning on going on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) , i wouldnt run a long time cycle . Not to mention if i am going to shut myself down , i would only do it for a cycle sufficient dose of test (500mg+) , would never consider shutting myself down for a dose that is going to mimic or closely resemble natty test production , just pointless and doesnt make sense . also recovery becomes much harder the longer the cycles .
