No, not for me anyways!   Nolvadex seems to almost feel like it hits quicker but arimidex, seems smoother... hard to explain!

That makes sense since nolvadex blocks existing estrogen from binding with tissue receptors, and arimidex prevents free test from aromatising into estrogen.  THe nolva has basically an immediate effect, where the arimi has an immediate effect on aromatising, but not on reducing or controlling existing levels of estrogen in your body.  hmmmm....I hope I said that so it made sense....  

In any case, I've definitely had some screwy estrogen level issues lately.  I upped my doseages to some very high levels at the end of my last bulking cycle.  I didn't know how much arimidex or nolvadex to take, so I was basically just upping until I got rid of the itchy nips.  I was a total fucking mess for about 2 weeks.  Didn't know whether to be pissed off, cry, beat the shit out of someone, or go kill myself.  It went back and forth for about 2 weeks, then I found the right levels of arimi/nolva to keep the estro in check.

it's VERY possible. if you take nolva first and then switch to arimidex.

nolva only blocks estrogen from binding to their receptors, but it does nothing for free flowing estrogen in the blood, so when you come off of nolva then you have massive amounts of estrogen still remaining in the blood, looking for places to bind. introducing arimidex does nothing for the existing estrogen in the blood. it simply prevents the aromatization of more steroids hormones (natural and synthetic) into estrogen. there will be a temporary rebound of 2-3 days for the body to clear that estrogen naturally. another side effect, especially post cycle, is the further suppresion of natural test production. when a huge influx of estrogen comes then there is a negative feedback to the hypothalamus to longer give signals to produce steroid hormones including testosterone and more estrogen.

Does liquidex do the same thing as armidex, stopping the aromatization of the test?

Yes they are identical

liquidex and arimidex are different brand names of the chemical anastrozol. like geardup said, it&#39;s identical.
