My Thought About Aromatase Inhibitor / Serm While On Propecia, Dutasteride

[michel sapin]

hey guys, so those past week i have been experimenting with low dose AI ( arimidex / aromasin) and SERM ( raloxifen ) .
And it didn't hurt my hair at all !
Know i have come to the conclusion that the best AI to take is arimidex , because even if it has a lot of drawbacks ( elevate liver enzyme and maybe can cause E2 rebound ) , it is a non steroidal AI unlike aromasin which is a derivate from DHT ( so those prone to hair loss might avoid taking aromasin , and this is a shame because it is a way better AI in term of rebound , safety )

In terms of SERM , i have been taking low dose raloxifen , and it didn't hurt my hair too . And ralox seems pretty safe .

Now i have came to the conclusion that a very low dose AI and dutasteride could be some sort of a cure for the worst responder .
I have talked with many doctors on specialized TRT forum , and i had a skype consulation with a famous one ; and a regimen such as dutasteride 3 times a week and 0.25 mg arimidex twice a week could be a good solution .

Some users have already found the solution ( addjac / peabody is maintaining a full head of hair while having perfect body with AI and duta ).

I wish i had this knwoledge years earlier , lie this i would have avoided minoxidil .
Avoid minoxidil like plague brah, this is pure sh*t ! it will ruin your face and your whole lifestyle !
i would have taken dutasteride directly along with low dose arimidex /

Moreover finasteride doesn't work well for agressive hair loss . This is 100% sure , if you wan't long terme maintenance duta is the key

this regimen is recomended to only the worst responder and those who got gyno while on 5 ar inhibitor !

this is sure that high E2 and low DHT is the perfect environment for hair growth in males ; but for those who don't wan't feminization of our body this is not good .

i already had high E2 and low Dht is my first year of treatment ( confirmed by blood test ) , and i had strictly no result !
SO now i will aim for very low DHT ( with duta ) and normal range E2 for male ( with arimidex ) .
AND i will see if i get more result

the purpose of this experiment is too se what is better ;* low DHT and high E2
*or very low DHT ( = trying to reach the famous DHT inhibition treeshold which stop the hair loss ) and normal E2 .

Do not generalize your own experience as facts.

Letrozole murdered my hair, raloxifene a bit less. My experience is that everything that antagonizes estrogen leads to a decline in hair quality. Anything that increases DHT leads to a decline in hair quality. And the inverse holds true as well.

So whatever. And raloxifene has a lot of potential side effects, as does any AI. Doesn't sound smart to take a drug just to combat side effects of another drug... I thought I was smart for thinking of that as well, but it's just a bad idea in practice.

 

[michel sapin]

sure it is not a good idea , but maybe very low dose AI with duta/fina can do the trick
i don't wan't to murder my E2 , but just reduce them to their normal value :
because duta / fina increase my E2 to the higher range and cause the sides

 

[g.i joey]

Your values when you come off these drugs after years of consistency will probably rock bottom lows... sounds like a bad idea bro. I’d recommend maybe an AI dose every month or 2 months, maybe just to throw you back in range for a bit

 

[whatevr]

This is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of thing in my opinion.

I am also interested in your experience.

How much letrozole were you taking ? What other stuff?
