Having a Really Hard Time Controlling e2 with Arimidex

[TheFourth]

I am having a bitch of a time controlling e2 with arimidex. I get all of the uncomfortable e2 sides and don't want to crash my estrogen as I did that once before with letrozole.

I've gone from e2 of 58 with .25mg E3D dosing at Week 5 to now 48 with .25mg EOD dosing going into Week 8. All I know to do is bump my adex from .25mg EOD to .5mg E3D and wait another 10 days and test again. The diet, training, and rest have all been spot on. Controlling my e2 has been the hardest part of this cycle. I'm also beginning hCG @ 1500iu/week for weeks 8-11 and I'm wondering if this is going to throw my calculations off again.

Has anyone else had this? Do I need to just switch to aromasin?

what else are you dosing?

What's your cycle?
What high e2 symptoms do you have?

Numbers seem fine. E2 a little on the high side is better than the alternative. Estrogen is anabolic too.

Like gin mentioned, what are your symptoms that you feel you need to mitigate?

i agree.. what sides are you experiencing?

125mg of Sustanon E3D, approximately 300mg a week. Baseline e2 before cycle was 16 with very high libido and no water retention.

Sides when e2 at 58: Unable to wear some of my shoes because my feet and ankles were so swollen, puffy nipples, bags under my eyes, moon face, lethargic, back acne, insane cravings for sugar, really bad headaches, inability to climax during sex and soft erections without cialis, extremely emotional at night, low libido, waking up tired.

Sides when e2 at 48: Shoes fit again, acne mostly gone, still bad headaches, still fairly emotional and bad attitude, low libido, waking up tired.

Vascularity and strength are great with high e2. Everything else is awful.

I upped the dosage to .5mg yesterday and felt significant relief this morning. I was in a good mood for the first time in two weeks and could think clearly. I'm uncertain as to how to dose this going forward. My instinct is to run it at .5mg E3D and see how I feel. Any input is greatly appreciated.
