Water Retention while on Arimidex or something else (Pics Included)

Well guys, 2 months before, I finished an oral only cycle of Winstrol, and yeah in the last weeks, I was so dry and hard that I was feeling sick. At 7% bodyfat measured, with no water at all, I was looking 3-4% in the mirror,photos. After I finished my cycle, I started little by little, to retain water, and my estrogen levels got extremely high. My face got puffy,and fatter, I had stomach gas even when fasted, and my stomach got severely bloated. And at one time It got pretty severe, as I'm looking right now. I was taking Nolvadex at 40-50 mg, but that doesn't help at all. Then after countless reading on the internet, I found out that Arimidex, is a cure for Estrogen Water Retention. I bought 1mg by Astra-Zeneca, and I can tell you that after 4-5 days, I got into shape, and actually looked leaner than even on cycle. Then when my first package was over, I had something like 1 week off from it, and my body again started to change. Now I'm on my 2nd course on Arimidex, and I'm retaining water as crazy. And It developed over the time, the problem is that my Estrogen levels are not high at all, although the ratio between Estro and Test is not big. I'm thinking of buying Aromasin. Will that help me, and what will prevent water retention to never ever appear again (except from high sodium consumption)? I don't plan on doing steroid cycles anymore, as I'm a model, and looking dry and cut most of the time IS A MUST. My diet is fairly strict, although most of the time I fit something sweet in my macros, and I write down and calculate all I eat.

2nd - OR could my problem now is that I'm drinking 2 gallons of water everyday, and I don't have much physical exercise outside the gym ?

The picture of my abs, was taken 1 month before, and 5 days on first cycle of Arimidex. Before first Arimidex cycle, I was looking like I'm looking now. You can see the photo.

I dont have as much experience as some of the guys on here, but from what I know, you basically came off the winstrol and went right on to the Adex. It doesnt look like you had a proper PCT plan in effect. Plus Adex I have been told increases test levels. So as soon as you go off it theres nothing to keep the estrogen in check. For now, looks like your going to have find a way to stabilize and come back to normal. Adex wont do that. It will help the symptom but not the problem. What was your dose of winny, and were there any other compounds used? Plus 1mg of Adex is way too much. I am twice your size and I take .5mg a week, and I have been told that high. A lot of guys are successful on .25mg a week.

Nolvadex is outdated you should maybe try 25-40mg of clomid a day. That should bring you back to normal. Possibly an HCG blast followed by the clomid. HCG primes the pump gets everything ready to produce hormones and the Clomid send the signals to start production. But find out from some others what they think.

Also you water consumption at that level will not make you retain water. It actually makes you hold even less. Your body knows your going to drink 2 gallons a day, there is no need to hold on to any. Hope this helps but obviously you need some more experienced advise.

On a cycle:
I just take the adex at .5, drink a lot of water (like you do already) and if it gets really bad try a water pill for temporary relief, not everyday.

Off:
HCG Blast followed by clomid at 25-40 mg a day. Through in a natural test booster if you want forma stanz is good too.

Good luck
