Crashed E2 with Arimidex not on cycle

Hey Guys

Long story short I have used AAS in the past, had hairloss so I jumped on finasteride about a 5 months ago. My estrogen was pretty high even before propecia so I hopped on a low dose of Arimidex to try control E2 sides. Around 2.5 mg per week.

Anyway I noticed some sides associated with low e2 but also associated with propecia use. So I got some follow up labs and sure enough I had crashed my e2. Below 20pg/ml is all it said.

So my question is should I drop adex all together? Or drop the dose.?

Thanks
 
2.5 mgs a week is a high dose. Very high. I ran 650 of test on blasts and when I used to use adex and I got by with .5 eod. That would be around 1.625mgs per week. That is why your e2 is crashed. Why are you running an ai off cycle. The only need would be if you were on trt. I'm confused. Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but you should research this type of thing before putting anything into your body. Stop taking it now.

I think he started taking AI to lower his estrogen levels, i think which was a result of his earlier use of AAS and which were undetected i guess!
i had somewhat same issues , i did my last cycle 3 years back and never did a pct ! result :-messed up a lot of things ,it was until now last month tht i got blood work done and found out my low test and high e2 levels ! probably the reason for my gyno and hair loss , so now i m also planning to start ARIMIDEX off cycle but i will keep the dosage .25 mg EOD and then do a retest in 2 weeks to see!

So why don't you walk us through exactly what you are taking. How much of it. How often. For how long. Provide the blood work you have and let us know what you were running at the time the blood work was taken. Provide us with how you are feeling and symptoms. Otherwise we are just guessing.

havent taken anything ! last cycle was loong time back, jan. 2011

TEST. TOTAL :- 356 NG/DL

FREE TEST :- 17.64 range - 3.84-34.17

% FREE TEST :- 0.50 range 0.18-0.68

LH :-6.30 range is 1.50-9.30

What time of the day were these labs taken and how long ago?

10,000iu of vitamin D is a good call. You are crazy low! Try to get out in the sun too now that Spring is starting to come.

Any trauma to your testicles or variceles? Your LH is getting to be on the higher side.

And just want to make sure -- these labs are without any Arimidex?

What would you say your bodyfat% is?
 
Update.

So I have been off the Arimidex for 2.5 weeks. My joints feel a little better.
How long should I wait for e2 to normalise?

considering I'm on finasteride which should accelerate my T ---> E2 conversion.
