If you are prone and not taking anti-5AR medicine then it or any AI that raises test and free test may speed up your hairloss.

yea..gotcha..

?does arimidex by itself cause hairloss?

as stated, indirectly ..yes--it can-- if you are prone

I thought that arimidex was supposed to lower estrogen levels, not raise test?...i am also taking finesteride...not sure if that would be enough..

Any AI like arimidex will block the conversion from Test to E. This leaves more test floating around the system ( the test that would have been converted to E ).

Also AI's tend to stimulate more test production, I dont exactly know the method but its something to do with the HPTA axis.

Yep, due to negative feedback mechanism. Pituitary regulates test based on feedback pertaining to E... so less E hitting receptors stimulates hypothalamus into increasing stimulating hormones LH / FSH - up's natty test production and reduces SHBG. As a result DHT is elevated and (potentially) subsequent hair loss risk heightened.

if hairloss is increased, then by how much and how long? is it reversable? (once you stop taking arimidex, hairloss will stop?)

Impossible to say unfortunately, it depends on your genetic predisposition. In theory hair loss should stop when you stop taking adex but i can't say 100% that will be the case. I know that's not what you want to hear... but my honest opinion. I think there's a few hair loss guru's around who may be able to provide more insight.
