Any Adex long term users?

[vegas83]

I have been using adex for a few years. Mostly at low doses. right now I am at .25 2x's per week. I am really sensitive to gyno and find that I need it even at 150mgs test/wk to keep me in the semi normal range. Anything I should be worried about using low doses long term?

In for discussion, but that's about standard for TRT protocol.

Depending on age, Adex does have a risk of Osteopenia/osteoporosis with long term use...

How significant?... I haven't seen it in practice yet...

I was using .5 twice a week for trt for a few months. Planned on long term because like you, I'm gyno prone. It really jaked with my lipid profiles.
I ended up switching to Stane and lipids are better now.
My same concern with either was the osteo end. I didn't find a lot if info but doses where issues were seen with women were much larger to begin with and they weren't healthy.

I just hate not being able to get pharm grade aromasin when I can get pharm grade adex/nolva.

I agree about pharm grade. But for me it was an easy switch. I tried to do the insurance mail order since they offered to double scripts for same price. They were already paying for Adex. But their game is it all goes through their pharmacist. They have the authority to deny scripts despite not being doctors and clueless about all of a meds uses (again they were paying for it previously). She also told doc he couldnt write an AI for me.... So I lost my script for adex anyways, was going to ask him to switch to stane but that got ruined too by what pharmacist said. Either way I had to go another route.

Honestly, the good thing about being gyno prone is I know very quickly if an AI is working or not. I have some adex on hand just on case plus keep two diffent brand stanes on hand. Brand I'm using and a backup. You do hear about people getting bunk AI's but it always seems to be same places. Then there are the Bs ones trying to take away business.

I really wish there were some long term studies for us to make really informed decisions. But even when I went looking at studies on women's side of AI's some of studies are so baised it's and convoluted it really making sorting through them hard without looking at all the details really closely. Then it seems like every few years they flip flip on some findings. I think if you know waht the worst case scenarios are, get complete labs on a regular basis, take actions to mitigate any effects it's about all one can do. The doses were discussing aren't even close to what were being used on the studies of females taking em for cancer.

Yea, I may try aromasin soon. I like the suicidal properties. For now I am going to stick with adex and get my cholesterol checked often.

Which is better long term? Aromasin or adex? Ive only used aromasin

 

[vegas83]

Well I just found HG aromasin so I may give it a shot

I've been using arimidex for the last few years at .5 EOD and I haven't seen or felt any negative sides and in my research have not come across any potential problems with long term use. My bloodwork and blood pressure, etc. everything on my physical is normal.
