A-dex

[Lancealot]

Hi all,
I posted my latest labs in bloodwork section but wanted to post in this section on A-dex.
Just wanted to share my experience with taking adex and how it affected my E levels according to bloodwork. Maybe it will help someone else that has questions. My doc wanted me more in range on the E test which is 7.6-42.6, keep in mind this is NOT the sensitive E test. I tested at 51.4 on no AI and then did the sensitive E test 38.7 (8-35) just for a comparison to see the difference in the two test. I took .25mg adex on Thursday evening and did draw on fri at noon. Results: 13.2 (7.6-42.6) so it brought it down 38 points in just 18hrs! from where I was at previous lab. As has been posted on here a lot, a-dex is a powerful drug. We are all different but please be cautious with this stuff. I only took .25mg to lower for E test and wont take any more.

I dunno, all these self diagnosis, and this one after taking a single dose, probably(definitely) must drive TRT doctors crazy.

Lance, did taking .25mg of adex affect you in anyway, I've never taken an AI.

Lance,

I am taking .5mg Adex 3x a week and have zero sex drive...wondering how is your sex drive with no AI?

That's a lot of Anastrozole. What was your estradiol level that prompted your doctor to prescribe that high a dose?

That is a HUGE dose of Adex, no wonder you have zero sex drive. Your E2 is likely in the low single digits. Most of us here either take no AI at all, or a very low dose like 0.15 mg once or twice a week. O.5 mg 3 times a week is crazy.

It was at 27 sensitive taking .5 2x week.
After taking 3 .5 mg AI my sensitive went to 17

Also on 180 mg Test broken into 3 shots per week

It was at 27 sensitive taking .5 2x week.

27 is a great number. Why did you increase Adex ? Try 0.25 2x week

For me, right now 0.25 2x week is too much sometimes...

"Why did you increase Adex ?"
My Doctor told me to

Well, I'd certainly work with your doctor to back the AI down. You're putting your E2 level into an unhealthy range - and you feel it in terms of symptoms.

 

[Jay]

So I am thinking of maybe just drop it to .5 2x a week for 6 weeks, then get tested through discountlabs to see what is going on. Also it will give me time to hopefully boost my sex drive

I would take a week off from Adex entirely and then go back to 0.25 twice a week

Yes some of us have docs that are not up to speed on the latest TRT methods so we need to "self diagnose" at times. That's why I posted to be careful with this drug it is powerful.

Vince, its been 8 days now since my .25mg dose and honestly I didn't notice a thing from it. No physical changes that I can feel or see other than bloodwork showing it was lower.

Jay, we are all different, but as others have said that sounds like a lot of adex. I was fortunate to not have any problems with sex drive before starting TRT and I have not noticed any difference since being on it. I take 50mg T and 170iu hcg 2x week and no AI. Only difference for me is I am more horny and have vivid sexual dreams several nights a week.
