Thread: Arimidex or Aromasin?

Both have worked for me, w bloodwork for confirmation. I choose aromasin though because it's a suicidal AI.

Aromasin is suicidal AI where arimadex is not. Aromasin is far better suited for PCT than adex.

I prefer adex all the way. Aromasin is much better to have in pct, though. But it also has suicidal tendencies (something that's not too bad while on test, but something you REALLY don't want while you're coming off test).

im picking aromasin every time. for on cycle and especially for PCT. that's not to say that a-dex is bad though.

What do you mean by "suicidal"?

Ah, so your actually saying that one of the sides of Aromasin is suicidal tendencies?

It causes hormones to fluxuate in such a way that it increases thoughts of suicide in many of its users.
But if you're normally level headed then you should be able to handle it

No, suicidal means that it permanently deactivates the aromatase enzyme. Adex just blocks it, and the enzyme can work once adex leaves the system.

I'm curious what convinced you of this?

1. My experience with it (quite a while ago, as ive only used adex as an AI for the past 5-10 years.)
2. Some of my previous clients' experience (more recent than my own with it.)
3. Literature

Can you give us some links to the literature that you speak of?

So, the deactivation of the aromatase enzyme is permanent? Even after you quit using Aromasin and it has left the body fully? That doesn't sound good.

Your body just makes more.

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just unaware of this side effect. I'm no expert, and my ignorance to something like this is likely. But, I am a critical thinker and it seems like your basing your conclusions on anecdotal evidence primarily. I'm always cautious with testimonials and anecdotal evidence.

Bro, ive always been more of a theoretical guy for everything. But when it comes to aas/chemicals I'll always respect anecdotal experience. When I give advice, I first give anecdotal experience/views, but I also set it up to make sure I can back it up with theoretical evidence. Back when I was in school I had the mindset that if I couldn't find it in a medical journal, i'd disregard it as info, but as I matured mentally, I realized that you can't always jump into scientific/medical literature to give/recieve advice.
Plus, there is very little (if any) tests that include the doses for big time gym rats/bodybuilders using the chemicals for that "edge."

Now I get it:

"Exemestane is an irreversible, steroidal aromatase inactivator, structurally related to the natural substrate androstenedione. It acts as a false substrate for the aromatase enzyme, and is processed to an intermediate that binds irreversibly to the active site of the enzyme causing its inactivation, an effect also known as "suicide inhibition." In other words, Exemestane, by being structurally similar to the target of the enzymes, permanently binds to those enzymes, thereby preventing them from ever completing their task of converting androgens into estrogens."

Noheawaiian, can you quote some literature that says aromasin increases suicidal tendencies? Ive searched and cannot find anything suggesting suicidal tendencies while on the drug.

Nohe.

It's a suicidial inhibitor. Meaning it attaches to the enzyme and renders it useless for good. Not that it causes suicidal thoughts. Your knowledge on AAS is really starting to make me question some things you say.

Aromasin>Adex. I've had success with both. But Aromasin is milder on your lipid profiles, is suicidial, and increases natural test. One could argue that both are good on cycle but aromasin is THE choice of AI for PCT.

I agree with you. However, I see the only possibility for suicidal tendencies coming from all the hormone fluctuations especially in individuals with a history of depression, suicidal tendencies, etc. but the thing is if you suffered from any of those things, you shouldn't be playing around with steroids, pct drugs at all without close doctor supervision.

adex works better for me.

Both work for me but I do prefer aromasin because it is a suicidial inhibitor.

Yes there is an increased risk of depression and all the thoughts that come with that during PCT. But in no way, shape or form does aromasin have anything to do with that.
