Arimidex & Cholesterol

[rick055]

I have been reading "Anabolics 2007" and it says that for long term use Nolvadex and/or Clomid may be a better "anti-estrogen" than Arimidex because of the impact of Arimidex on cholesterol.

Everyone around here seems to think Arimidex is the way to go.

Is it a question of dosing? Has anyone been on Arimidex long term and had problems with cholesterol?

If I am on say 10g of 1% gel, what starting dose would you use for Arimidex? .25 mg EOD?

My pre TRT E2 number was 35 (0 - 52).

I tried searching and couldn't find anything about the cholesterol issue.

When I was on Androgel and latter on Tcream I did not have to use Arimidex.
June19/07 I switched to Depo-T shots.
Expecting E2 raise I also added Liquidex 0.5cc on E3D schedule.
Today I got my results.
E2 and FreeE2 are bit high, I upped my LiquiDex dose to 0.6cc also on E3D schedule.

0.6*7/3=1.4 (Arimidex pills/week)

Transdermals usually raise DHT, less E2 problems.
Your mailage may vary, use blood tests.

Use ultrasensitive tests for E2.

Do we know whether Arimidex has a deleterious effect on blood lipids at HRT doses?

Are any of the the other "anti-estogens" better?

Jans do not think liquidex is stable if you are on that much it would do some thing more..have dr prescribe pills take one a week and you will see real difference. I never had a problem with real adex but liquidex I will never trust. its too inconsistant..
