Arimidex or Cialis Side Effects?

[KenLowT]

So in my haste and rush to start feeling better in the sexual department I have been taking Armidex and Ceebis (Cialis) the past few days. Let me be more specific; I took .25mg of Arimidex on Wednesday and Friday as these are testosterone and HCG injection days. The doc at Defy prescribed this dosage for twice a week injections, but this week I tried M/W/F so I may have taken the medicine too close together. On Wednesday I also started taking Ceebis (Cialis) 5mg per day to set up tonight which is supposed to be love making time.

Right now I'm dealing with a dull shoulder pain so I suspect that may be the Arimidex. I have a sinus headache which I attribute to the Ceebis. I can't figure out if I'm overreacting, but I fear the Arimidex problem more than the Ceebis. I don't want to crash my E2 and taking 50mg in the span of 48 hours was probably a very bad decision which I will learn from. My plan is to not take any of my AI next week while I switch back to two injections per week (not feeling the M/W/F injections). I'll probably stop taking 5mg of the Ceebis per day and just take 10mg on days that I think love making will be in the equation. Do my symptoms seem familiar to any of you who have tried both Anastrozole and Cialis?

My joints are screwed right now after significantly lowering my AI dosage, hips, knees are all sore. I do get shoulder pain when estrogen is high, high estrogen does the opposite of low estrogen to the joints, fluid retention in joints makes them tight where low estrogen makes them loose.

Is it joint pain or shoulder pain?

I want to say it's shoulder joint pain. My wrist is also starting to hurt. I usually get this dull pain when I drink milk or another dairy, I'm dairy sensitive, but I haven't touched the stuff. I think after this I'm probably only going to take one 0.25 mg a week for a few weeks. E2 is too easy to crash, I'd rather be more conservative with this stuff. Since I took it yesterday I will probably wait until next Friday to take it again or on Thursday with my 2nd injection. Or I can not take it at all next week, still don't know.

Maybe having high BF%, and the fact that I'm taking DHEA will make it go away quicker.

You’re also a bundle of anxiety, which certainly doesn’t help the situation. Talk to Defy, make some decisions about protocols, stick with it for a month, and re-assess. And stop throwing chemicals at the problem. Stick with the Ceebis low dose.There are other benefits beyond the ED.

Great post.

I'm glad to report that the Ceebis worked last night. The wife and I felt its true benefit. We haven't messed around since May due to this low libido and ED. That all changed last night. Finally, a win after so many months of nothing. Perhaps I come across as stressed and obsessive in my posts, but when you've gone through what I've been through for these past few years you'll understand why. In the meantime I will stick with my protocol, but I'm going to take a week off the AI until I can properly spread out the dosage so this doesn't happen to me again.

Great news for sure. Talk to your MD. Maybe dump the AI altogether. Stay with the Ceebis and start having sex as much as you can.

Update:

Arimidex - a very powerful drug, too powerful for my taste. My prescription calls for taking one .25mg pill twice a week during injection time. I took it Wed, Fri, and today Monday. Each time I take it I get the following symptoms: fatigue, lethargy, dull aching pain in my shoulder, knee, and wrist. My symptoms only improve after taking DHEA at night and time away from the drug. I should've listened to my body and not taken the medication today. I was feeling amazing; I woke up with a sick libido and tons of energy. Now I'm sitting here sleepy, tired, with a total lack of motivation. The quandary here is that I know my E2 gets too high and needs to be decreased. I have tried DIM and other supplements, but none brought it down enough. I'm sure that this medication can work for me, but either the dosage needs to be reduced or I need to take it one time per week rather than twice. At this point there is too much in my system so I'll lay off for at least a week. Then perhaps I'll try one per week to see how that feels.

Ceeibs - Great medication so far. My erections are now spontaneous which really increases my sex drive. As the weekend has gone by my libido has gotten better and better. I haven't felt like this since college, its truly amazing. It's night and day. Taking 5mg a day has been a game changer.

There is some really good news in your post. Without question you are going to have to address the amount of AI you take but you've got some other really good news; DHEA working good for you, better libido and erections, good effects with Ceebis, feeling like in college....wow! Progress!

Yes, I was really feeling good these past 2 days. Libido wise I was on fire. I only wish I hadn't taken the Anastrozole this morning. My sex drive was the through the roof, I was ready to hit the gym, my masculinity finally reared its head. I've only taken three anastrozole pills so I think I'll get over it in a week, but it'll take some time. Self discipline is the key here, I need to listen to my body.

And listen to your wife. She needs to adjust too. My wife is in fantastic shape and the reason is that her sex drive is up too and she is more fitness and body conscious as a result. Concentrate on better sex, not simply more sex. If both of you are fit it can get extremely interesting. Knowing you can have sex whenever you want is fantastic and having that connection to your woman takes it to another level.

Well at this point any sex is better than five or six times a year. I am very health conscious; going to the gym, lifting weights, and getting lean always make me feel better. My wife has caught on and has been working out for the past month as well.
