Running Arimidex During Cycle

[thunderterd]

I realized 4 weeks into my first cycle that i was gyno prone. So for the rest of that cycle and with pct and the second cycle, i ran nolvadex tabs 20 mg a day.
Now for the last cycle, i invested in liquid arimidex and ran it 50 mg a day from day 1 all through pct and a week after. I've never had a gyno symptom, but i read that arimidex is not good to run during or with pct because it kills all estrogen in the body and the body needs some estrogen.
Should i not use arimidex?
and now i'm curious if it can be run in place of clomid.

Re: Running Arimidex During Cycle

First off I think you meant .5mg of adex bro. I personally would run .25 or .5mg ed throughout your cycle with about 10 or 20mg of nolv as well as it helps to keep your lipids in check. I find adex helps to keep me from bloating as bad, but .25mg seems to work fine. For PCT I would just use the nolv only, or Clomid if you so desire but most don't like the sides it can yield. A good PCT is 4 wks of nolv in which you taper down each week. A good run would be 40mg ed for 1 wk then 30mg for 1 wk, 20mg 1 wk and 10mg 1 wk. Or you could keep it simple at 40mg for 2 wks and 20mg for two more.

Hope this helps,

Re: Running Arimidex During Cycle

I think if you are gyno prone, you definitely should be upping the "Anti-Es" - the alternative is not desireable. But Adex does not suppress ALL Estrogen aromatization - only a percentage. I just saw a chart somewhere that shows all the conversion rates of these compounds (adex/aroma/letro). Adex will not shut down all of your estrogen, so I wouldn't worry about using it. And actually I would recommend that you use it .25mg ED all the way through PCT, along with Nolva 20mg ED. Up the adex to .5mg ED if you need, but I would not eliminate it. Aromatase inhibitors are the first line of defense against Estrogen - so it not only keeps the Test in your system at a higher level, but also prevents sides. Clomid should also be used in PCT, with the Adex and Nolva, IMO. As long as your cycle is moderately dosed and under 14 weeks, this should be good.

Thanks for the help guys. I was just under the impression that adex may keep me from gaining, buy i guess not. I will run it at .25 along with 20mg nolva during my cycle and through out pct.
