Letro side effect stories..

JayC

..in the making
For those who have used Letro, please share your side effect (positive or negative effects) stories or experiences.
I'm a firm believer in not taking a SERM or Aromatase inhibitor (AI) while on unless absolutely unavoidable (i.e. severe gyno), however my current bulking cycle has me so bloated I needed to relieve some of it for a recent photo op. I've been taking 1.25mg eod and although the bloating went down, I started getting severe leg (mainly calfs) cramps, some of my numbers in the gym (mainly bench) dropped a bit, and I noticed my libido is yo-yo'ing. One minute I think it has increased my libido (alot) and then later it feels like it's decreased. Just wondering who's shared these results. Thanks guys!
 
Taking 2.5 mg of letro every 4 days... My strength completely dropped, after 2 weeks i didnt even want to get out of bed. Mood swings, I'll never touch the shit again.
 
i wonder if it's killing my strength? i'm on the same doasge as the first poster...i'm going to lower the test and up the tren and lower the letro and see what happens. Test cause gyno with me :(
 
Dude, ITS TOTALLY THE LETRO- no question about it. its blocking WAY to much estrogen- your strength is going nowhere and your joints are taking a real beating
 
i'm lowering the test and reducing the letro...we'll see what happens. Thanks.
 
well, not lowering the test, it's already minimal but uppin'g the tren :)
 
letro is great for getting rid of all bloat but everytime i run it no matter what dose, it anihiliates my sex drive.
 
Letro in my book is last resort.

Run Arimidex at .50mg ED while bloat or gyno syptoms are prevelant, I personally run .25mg ED throughout my cycles... estro regulation is very important and the dose is low enough to not create a negative impact; let alone hinder gains.
 
was using letro eod...haven't used since the 26th...ME day today so we shall see if it was holding me back any.
 
I don't really get why people use letro it's a very strong Aromatase inhibitor (AI) that almost completly reduces estrogen by 99%, even in minute doses...I'm a member of quite a few cancer foums and the stories you read on letro are awful, many are crippled by it's side effects some even confined to wheel chairs due to joint pain.

Aromisan gets my vote and it doesn't even affect your lipids like arimdex or letro.
 
i took upwards of 2.5ml eod at one point and was still able to rock the cock and had minimal joint pain. Maybe my shit is bunk? ology bunk?

I'm interested to know bro so post as you see a difference!! I'll tell you that about 6-7 days after my last dose the crappy week feeling went away and by day 10, my numbers in the gym were creeping back up. I can really tell a difference. ..especially with sex drive.

Hey Lucky:
For me, it was because Letro was always recommended as the best and we all want the best, right?? Well, as we know that's not always the case in "hormone replacent therapy" :) ..I figured out over time that estrogen plays a very big role in how my system functions (properly)... don't know what you got until it's (99%) gone!!!..lol. :)
Ya, next time I decide to go the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) route I'll either taker Parker's recommendation on the Adex or try Aromisan if I can get a hold of some.

I'll list what I run during cycle and post cycle therapy (pct), i've never had any estro sides. my PCT's have always gone great since i've ran it this way.

Proviron@50mgs ED throughout cycle, then reduce it to 25mgs ED for the first 2 weeks of post cycle therapy (pct).

Arimidex@0.25mgs ED starting at week 2


Toremifene - week 1 of post cycle therapy (pct) - 120mgs ED, week 2 - 90mgs ED, week 3 - 60mgs ED, week 4 - 30mgs ED.

HCG@500iu's E3D for 2 weeks prior to post cycle therapy (pct), then run it 1 week into PCT.

Then after post cycle therapy (pct) is completed I run Niacin for 3 days@100mgs ED.

Everybody who i've turned in to this regimn has been extremely happy with every aspect of it.

Good luck Jay

I've been taking 1/4 of a 2.5 mg pill every day for maybe 4 or 5 months. No side effects at all, except higher testosterone and more morning wood. My estrogen was slightly elevated (endocrinologist wouldn't even acknowledge it was elevated) and is now smack dab in the middle of the recommended range.

I've just been doing pull ups, dips, deadlifts and wind sprints, and I am stronger at 37 than I have ever been. I've never taken an AAS, and it seems odd to me that guys loading up on all kinds of gear are having problems with a small dose of Letro.
 
I have been running femara for around 7 months or so now, first at 2.5mg a day, for the last while at 1.25mg, havent noticed any sides. My sex drive isnt what it normally is on test, but frankly I consider that a good thing as I am sick of fighting with my wife because her sex drive cant match mine. Right now my sex drive is there when I need it, but I am not running around horny all the time
 
last week i had trouble benching 335...yesterday i pretty much plowed through 365 and hit a PR with my bent-over rows
