  1. Anastrozole alternative?

    well don't feel too bad. i am seeing an andrologist and even he is at a loss as to why this is happening, and doesn't know what we can do other than AI finasteride is a poison, i wish i'd never touched it

  2. Anastrozole alternative?

    i am only on anastrozole will this side effect be there with other AIs? no, never taken steroids. i am on anastrozole to combat high E2 caused by years of being on finasteride. even after quitting finasteride years ago my hormone levels remained abnormal (normal-low T, high E2)

  3. Anastrozole alternative?

    Anastrozole's been working fine for me but I think I might be a bit allergic to it, my face gets swollen a bit on it. What are the best alternatives to anastrozole that generally have mild or no side effects?

  4. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    can you post the numbers? T E2, etc Also if you have labs from before taking finasteride can you post those as well? thanks!

  5. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    you are right - when i was on finasteride, i became increasingly depressed and experienced a lot of anxiety, and never tied it to the fin. it was so bad that i went to see a few doctors, and my normal self is very confident, i've never been in that state. and the kicker is that none of those...

  6. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    yes the point of finasteride is to block DHT, that's what it does. and i'd rather not get on DHT cream, it won't solve anything. I want my hormones to get back to normal, not depend on a cream forever.

  7. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    He said 5ar cannot be tested for, and even if he could, it wouldn't help much because we can't control it or force the body to produce it. I am shocked to hear your experience with finasteride. Could you share any lab results if you have any? finasteride is essentially a feminizing drug, so...

  8. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    I stopped finasteride 3 years ago didn't experience major hairloss until i started anastrozole one month ago You are technically correct, that's exactly why my case is unusual, and why post-finasteride syndrome is real. My body continued to act AS IF i was still on finasteride. even years...

  9. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    it is still abnomally high and i am noticing very real side effects like gyno also, this may be anecdotal, but i am noticing a lot of hairloss since starting anastrozole

  10. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    1mg every OTHER day lowered it to 48 I haven't done a test from taking it every day, that won't be for another 3 months didn't test DHT

  11. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    1mg every other day, bloodwork after 15 days. that's when i got the 48 result on E2. now bumped it up to once a day.

  12. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    I was on anostrozole 1mg every other day. but this week i bumped it up to once a day per doctor recommendation because every other day only lowered E2 to 48 My diet and lifting are under control Before my estradiol shot up, even when I was in bulking mode and my bodyfat was elevated, my chest...

  13. I have been prescribed anastrozole. Need your thoughts.

    Hello guys, long story short - I took finasteride for many years to counter hair loss. I stopped taking it 3 years ago because I couldn't deal with side effects anymore but my estradiol remained very elevated to this day at 57 (normal threshold is 39), T level at 400ng/dL (on a max normal of...

  14. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    I tried it, E2 remained elevated. Why do you recommend aromasin before letro? Is it less harsh/dangerous? I am thinking about just asking the doctor for Letro so I can remove the gyno, then once it's gone switch to something else long-term. Or maybe just stay on a low dose letro long-term, if...

  15. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    I see thank you. This is exactly the answer I needed. So the doc was playing it safe and trying to reduce side effect like gyno, which didn't even work. This means that after this blood test I should ask him for something that lowers E2, like letro, right?

  16. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    Does it work even better if you insert the whole bottle?

  17. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    I already got 9 or 10 blood tests. So far we know that fin is causing high E2. I have another blood test in 2 weeks, and I know my E2 will still be high because tamox doesn't work it seems. This is why I'm trying to figure out: 1. Am I correct with the symptoms of E2? 2. If letro works and I...

  18. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    Can I take a tiny dose of letro on a long-term basis, if it's the only thing that works for me? Any side effects I should look out for? I think I can tell when my E2 is high because I get bloated, my face looks puffy/saggy, and my eyelids get discolored a bit. Are these symptoms consistent with...

  19. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    Thanks guys this is very helpful. How can I find an endo who is very knowledgeable about treating hormone issues in young people or steroid users? I never did steroids or intend to but it would be helpful to find a doc who deals with these issues. The current endo I deal with treats mostly...

  20. What are the most effective meds to lower estradiol?

    So which one can I take long-term? Is letro safe long-term? Also, can it reverse a little gynecomastia?
