My E2 was really high, so I took Letro, and nothing changed!! Thought the letro was bunk... then I took Arimidex, still nothing changed !!!!! And these were AIs sold by well known sponsors. So I went and got blood work done, and next thing you know, my E2 was REALLY low. I had the same side effects as I had with high E2.
The sides of low E2 were massive lethargy, foggy brain, feeling like shit, depressed, ED, low sex drive, and even BLOAT !!! I was bloated because I was constantly dehydrated I think, or whatever the reason was... Oh this is the weird fucking part, my nipples were itchy and puffy :0 !!!!
I cam off of Adex and Letro, after 2 or 3 weeks, I noticed the water going away and I started to feel better, nipples were no longer sore. That's when I said FUCK testosterone, No more than 100 or 120 a week (subQ x2 a week)
So watch out when you take AIs !!!!!!

This above.
I have always felt people over used AI's big time and think you need 1/10th of the dosage of what is recommended - especially if you have properly dosed product that you are using. SOME of the research liquids are just severely underdosed IMO anyway.
We used to get by back in the day before all these fancy new AI's on 2.5 - 5.0 mg of nolvadex a day or EOD.
When experimenting with the newer stuff at recommended doses - it destroyed my E2 levels to almost nothing - which is not good. WE need at least SOME estrogen for normal physiological function.
I can see taking AI's at a little higher dosed during contest prep but wouldn't want to walk around jacked on AI's during every cycle as more is not better and some of the AI's have terrible side effects just from the drug itself.
