I'm not Dougie, but I can throw some at you here.
Letro murders lipid levels. Forget about good cholesterol....it leaves while on letro.
Believe it or not, we actually need a little estrogen. Letro sucks up estrogen like a shop vac does feathers. It will keep your gyno from getting worse, unless it is progesterone induced gyno. It will keep you from getting bloated.
It will also dry you out to a degree, and while this looks good, it hurts the old joints.
Letro is a very harsh Aromatase inhibitor (AI). It is the cheque drops of aromatase inhibitors.
Aromasin (exemestane) is much more user friendly. It does not completely rid the body of estrogen, but it certainly drives estrogen levels down. You don't typically see the rebound effect from aromasin that you do from letro.
If you have existing gyno and you are simply trying to reduce that gyno, it seems as though letro is the drug of choice. the good news is that you don't need to run it for very long. I have seen some recommendations fro gyno reduction with letro, and while the dose is fairly high, the duration is pretty short. it is nothing like running it for 3 months (or much longer) while on cycle.
You can withstand it fairly well if all you are doing is trying to reduce gyno. But get ready for some ED issues. Letro is known for that. Letro while off cycle....whew! Cialis is your friend.
