pissing a lot after taking adex

as you may know, i came off a 2.5 year blast and cruise. i was young, stupid, and addicted to steroids. but please do not shame me for that, and instead provide some positive insight because i am a big enough man to say that i regret it.

so i got some bloodwork done recently, few weeks after i finished my clomid/nolva run and my test came back normal at 697 but e2 came back at 247... fuck! so i immediately went and got adex yesterday, took 1mg right away, and took another 1mg today.

also i noticed that i've gotten bloated after i stopped taking clomid too, then i started breaking out and feeling depressed and anxious, and i thought my test levels were just low. turns out they were perfect, but it was the e2 causing those side effects.

im pissing like crazy.., am i just pissing out the water retention? and call me crazy, but i already feel less bloated and i only took 2 doses of adex. i have pharma adex btw.

i feel so much calmer, more confident, and im starting to feel right again. since i got off test my life has been an emotional rollercoaster and now i think its starting to take a turn for the better and i'm really happy about that.

i plan on taking another 1mg tomorrow, then dropping it to .5 for a few days, then .25 for a few days throughout a total of around 2 weeks, then getting bloodwork done.. i'd appreciate your thoughts guys thanks
 
I can't help, but good luck, I am sure someone here will have some advice.

You need to be off Clomid/Nolva for upwards of 8 weeks before you'll get an accurate Test level that tells you only what your body is able to produce without any other influence.

It sounds like you're peeing so much, because you're losing water. Was your Estradiol the Sensitive assay? If that was Estradiol Sensitive test, then yes, holy fuck. The only thing I could think of that would cause additional peeing would be an enlarged prostate caused by elevated e2. But, since it directly coincided with you beginning to take adex, then it's most likely just you releasing water.
 
>The recommended daily dose, ARIMIDEX 1 mg, reduced estradiol by
approximately 70%
>within 24 hours and by approximately 80% after 14 days of daily
dosing. Suppression of
>serum estradiol was maintained for up to 6 days after cessation of
daily dosing with ARIMIDEX 1 mg.
 
the fact your going to the bathroom alot can be all the water retention u are losing from lowering estrogen ... arimidex works fast ... as the previous posts shows .. just 1mg dose of arimidex can reduce estrogen by 70% ... so be carfeul how you dose it .. low estrogen can cause depression as well . get blood work done as soon as you can after taking it for maybe 1 week .. 2 max
 
To answer your question, yes, you are just pissing out the excess water now that your e2 has dropped. You may well have crashed it completely though, I would not recommend continuing at that dose.
 
As said, you are taking way too much Adex. Remember that Adex does nothing to the estrogen already there. It only works to help inhibit the creation of future estrogen. Jacking up your dose like that does not good -- in fact it is harmful because it will halt all aromatization and you won't have any estrogen in you. You need to stop panicking and start thinking!

ok i'm switching to .5mg from tomorrow. but how long might it take my body to sift out the excess estrogen thats already floating around ?
 
Im sorry if I add any more confusion than there already is here/is necessary.

When one comes off arimidex doesnt estrogen spike up because it is a non-suicidal ai?

Would aromasin/exemstane be better for op?

yeah it probably would but i couldn't get that. and hes adex will have a rebound effect if you dont taper off
 
Yeah Adex/Letro have potential for an e2 rebound which will then normalise and it is dose dependant. A little taper off it won't hurt.

And all AI's will get to work straight away, the minute they bind to the aromatase enzyme e2 levels will be dropping but won't be drastic. You will most likely piss a lot of the water retention out or sweat it out via normal means and it just won't be replaced.

That's still too much. I'd go another week at 0.25mg EOD and call it good. You've likely already dropped WAY down from where you were (I'm guessing that you were REALLY high), and your body is normalizing. The good news is that the extra urination is also flushing out the excess estradiol.

The rebound effects shouldn't be too bad as the source of excess (how your body sees it) testosterone is gone. Just let nature take its course and retest in another 6 weeks.

My .02c :)
 
Halfwit does it really flush out e2 via urine? I would have thought it is mostly just water, and that the e2 is simply going by it's regular metabolism which judging by steroid hormones wouldn't have that much of a halflife?
