[QUOTE="KevinC, post: 100691, member: 17373"] I'll share my Arimidex story. I started TRT in January after two successive low T readings, of 272 ng/dl and a 147 ng/dl. The first two weeks of twice weekly 50 mg injections were pure heaven. I had a raging boner, was strong as an ox and had energy for days. Then everything went horribly wrong when my own production of T stopped at the two week mark of TRT. I was at work talking to a patient when I experienced the mother of all hot flashes with a heart rate of 140, profuse sweating, and shortness of breath. I felt like my entire head was horribly sunburned and I knew that my estrogen level had shot up. It was so bad that the patient I was talking to became concerned when he saw me turn red and begin sweating like I had been in a sauna for twenty minutes. Long story short, I started on Arimidex at .25mg EOD. Didn't work well enough and I kept experiencing hot flashes. I then went to 0.5mg EOD, still didn't work. Then I went to 0.5mg QD and finally experienced some relief but still did not feel many of the initial testosterone benefits that I had experienced prior to my body's own production of T shutting down. I was having trouble getting and maintaining an erection, I was weak, tired, and moody, just as I was prior to going on TRT. Then I started injecting 50mg three times a week and most of the benefits of TRT returned. I also had to slowly titrate my Arimidex dose up to 1mg QD which has basically kept my estrogen levels in check. I've been doing this for about a month now and am basically free from any side effects of the Arimidex. Every once in a while I can tell my E is getting a little to low as I get what I call a "dry hot flash" which is very different from a hot flash associated with excess estrogen. All I do is skip my Arimidex dose the next day and I feel fine and resume my normal dosage. If it weren't for Arimidex I would have to completely stop TRT. For me, Arimidex is literally a miracle drug and I'd be lost without it. [/QUOTE]
