I reassure about the safety of arimidex.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
First let me assure you that the 0.5mg dose of Arimidex is very low and does not cause any significant damage even if taken for three weeks daily. The half life of the drug is just 4 days and it should have been eliminated from the body by now, since the stoppage of drug. Moreover the major circulating metabolite of anastrozole, triazole, lacks pharmacologic activity in animals. All of this drugs is excreted out of the body and cannot stay in the human cell. So leave behind what had happened and rub off from the mind that Arimidex has caused damage at the cellular/receptor level.
There is very least chance that the symptoms you described could be because of the prolonged use of Arimidex.
I would like you to confirm the symptoms as signs from a local endocrinologist first. Please get back to me after that.


And because of that estrogen and dht compete for the same receptors doesnt it mean that maybe the estrogen i have cant reach the receptors in the whole body including the brain thats why im very aggresive and also the receptors are blocked in the skin and joint thats why i have this burning sensation and losing collagen in the skin, even with normal edtradiol levels, all of that because of the dht that did build up in the tissue through the whole three weeks i used the drug, dosnt this make any sense you tell me?
Serum DHT levels
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you have a notion against DHT, you can get serum DHT levels in the blood. Your theory could be right but in practice I am not sure about what it is.
I think an expert who deals with DHT, Estrogen day in and day out can be very sure about your query. It is an Endocrinologist. But before you go ahead with Endo I suggest to get an early morning Serum DHT levels.


Continue with Propecia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you are feeling good with Propecia continue it. I still suggest to get Serum DHT levels.
I do not have any other suggestions for you.
