Reducing Finasteride Side Effects With Aromatase Inhibitor

[CurlyBird]

Anyone have any luck with this combination? I have read some about it and from what I can tell prescription aromatase inhibitors such as arimidex seem to help with sexual sides. Zinc supplementation has also been noted to be effective for this problem.

Apparently, the theory behind this is that with less DHT due to suppression of 5AR, there is more T available to aromatize to estradiol and/or the ratio is simply not suitable for healthy male sexual function. By reducing the aromatase enzyme, E goes down and T goes up a bit more, and sexual side effects abate. I have also read that excess E tricks your brain into thinking you have enough testosterone, and your body may down-regulate testosterone production, or something along those lines.

Who here has taken this/is currently taking this combination and what have your results been in terms of reducing side effects from finasteride?
