Hi all, So I started my selfy TRT last week at 180mg of Test. C per week. For the first week I didn't take any AI . This week being my 2nd pin, I noticed my left nipple feels a little sensitive to touch, so I started taking .5mg of Arimidex and it freaking kept me up all night, tossing and turning all night long. I also have Aromasin on hand but figured I'd start using a milder AI to see if it'd be sufficient or not. Didn't want to over suppress so at this point I need some help figuring out whether I should stick with the .5 mg Arimidex until I get used to it or should I just switch to Aromasin at 12.5 mg eod until I get my bloods 8 weeks out? Any thoughts? Thanks
Arimadex and can't sleep all night

At 180mg test each week you really shouldn't need much of an AI dose at all, unless you are estrogen sensitive. It sounds like you could be, so I would dose some to see how that treats you.
I don't know why you would be losing sleep unless it's related to the higher estrogen and not the AI. High estrogen can cause sleep issues. I'd personally dose Aromasin instead and go 6.25mg EOD
are you sure what your taking is really arimidex/test ? where did you get it

Yes, I know I am Estrogen sensitive due to previous history of Gyno many years ago. My pre-bloods showed my Estrodiol was low at around 6.2 pg/ml and my Total Test. was at 189. So I figured I'd hold off on the AI to raise my Estrodiol for a couple weeks after start of my first pin but I already feel sides from the Test, like headaches, slightly higher blood pressure but still at normal range 130/82. I have also gained almost 5 pounds in just over a week and I am not even taking Creatine anymore, plus I started to cut my sodium intake, get enough Potassium in my diet etc. I am going to switch to Aromasin 6.25 mg eod as you said and see if things improve. Also I noticed my headache went away when I took my Arimidex the first time, but then came back today again. When is the best time to take AI's? AM or PM? Thanks
I took my friends advise on using Geneza Pharms since he's been very happy with their products and he's been using them for years. Test C 250 and AI products are all from Geneze and seen many people write good/positive reviews on their products.
It's not the arimidex that's for certain.
I personally would switch to aromasin, it's better in every way. Not sure why you are getting headaches but it's not the Adex and you won't have to worry about that aromasin either. With your history of gyno I would have letro on hand at all times.
You are probably right, I took 12.5 mg of Aromasin today to see if anything changes, whats weird is that I was sleeping fine until I took the first dose of Arimidex.
BTW I love your rants bro, you're so freaking funny. I now look forward to reading your stuff and find myself coming to the site just to read your stuff everyday
Keep it up bro, you should get your own TV show, you'd make a killing.
I think my body just needs to get used to these foreign compounds since I've done several herbal cleanse/detox these past couple of years, and eat an all organic diet. So I just took some Aromasin today and hope my body responds to it. I don't know if Letro would be really necessary (kind of over kill) since I take such a low dose of Test C, but I'll order some just to be on the safe side, My Gyno was due to much harsher compounds like Dbol and Sust250, too much HCG and not having a clue what I was doing at the time with no AI or PCT done. I will however be adding EQ and Tbol for next summer so its good to have stuff on hand.

Thank you, but if I was televised it'd have to be late night adult so I could realize my full potential as a asshole. As for the making a killing part... probably be a literal killing of one of my in-laws with a machete on a dildo handle.
ROFL, Priceless!
So after taking 12.5 Aromasin yesterday, I hit the gym and had a light post workout meal afterwards. Went to bed around midnight and slept well through the night , woke up and weight myself. The scale showed 3 lbs lighter, No more headaches to report at this time. I am pretty sure it was due to Estrogen conversion and water retention. That goes to show you how much more effective Aromasin is over Arimidex. I do however have the aggression that comes with using test and even my lady told me I look "MAD".
Is there a solution to this aggression issue before it gets out of hand? I'd like to stay out of jail. I almost snapped at this guy at the store 'cause he was staring at me.

Part of the business bro. It's mental, you recognize it so act accordingly when situations arise. Just laugh it off. Weird advice coming from me, but I reserve my true acting up for special circumstances when they arise. Just remember to check for cameras that'll capture your image and fuck you over. Take that agression out on that poosaay... that's be recommendation #2.
It's gonna take about 6 weeks at least before you start levelling out man. I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions and shifting the doses etc.
The best thing to do is be consistent with dosing and start a log of how you feel and what you take every day. Break it up by weeks.
If you're gyno prone, I'd err on the side of over suppression for sure. You're not going to do any damage by taking too much AI if you do kill your estrogen for that matter of weeks before you get your bloods. It takes months and months for the nasty stuff to set in. You'll likely just get ED and aches in the meantime - and then you'll know you've gone too far anyway. EOD or E3D should be sweet as.
