Anastrozole 0.3 mg

psaufan · Nov 15, 2017

Hello all...during my last consultation with my Doctor, he suggested I start taking 0.3 mg of Aanastrozole every 3.5 days. Is this considered a heavy dosage? Small dosage?

I’ve taken this previously and has the following sexual side effects: desensitized penis...delayed orgasm and diminished orgasm...muscle spasm in upper arms. I was then taking 0.5 mg every other day. I realize that everyone reacts differently to medications. Are these side effects somewhat common? I do not care to experience them again, thus the reason for the question about the dosage I have currently been prescribed.

Thanks in advance for any responses!

My current prescription is .125 EOD your's is close to double that. I don't know if .6/week is a lot. Like you said everyone is different. Since you stated you have had issues in the past with an AI maybe you should cut that in half and bloods in 5-6 weeks to see where things are.

It's not a particularly high dose, but then again it needs to be based/dosed on a combo of your labs and symptoms (if any are present).
You noted your past symptoms...........how long have you been using the 0.3 mg dose and do you have labs since switching to this dose?

You should post your estradiol levels with the men sensitive estradiol test.

Was your E2 test taken when you were on the AI, and if so what dose were you on?

I was not on an AI when this bloodwork was done...

Vince · Nov 18, 2017

I definitely wouldn't take the anastrozole, E2 follows testosterone. Your level of T (1530.1) is high. If you really wish lower estradiol levels, than lower your T. But I wouldn't take an AI.

Gman86 · Nov 18, 2017

How much testosterone are you using? And are you using HCG?

j4ever · Nov 22, 2017

I agree with vince, why not lower your dose a bit

Weasel · Nov 22, 2017

Lowering your T dose is the best option. If you go the AI route though, I'll almost bet that 0.6 a week is going to drive your e2 way to low.

I'm on .25 of a tab every 4 days....if i miss it I know about it, start to feel like crap and look the same...as LF commented we are all different.
One supp that did make a hell of a difference to me was Al-carnosine helped me big time in the orgasm/sensitivity department. I dont eat a lot red meat so I started to supplement with it ......for me that was the missing link.
