Arimidex dosage question

ad

The sticked starter cycle post suggests "Weeks 1-12: .5mg of Anastrozole Every other Day (EOD)"

If my anastrozole came in 1mg tabs that aren't designed to be split into 2. What's suggested protocol?

Break them up anyway?
Take a 1mg tab twice a week when I pin?

Thoughts?

Thanks

For me I ran 1mg everyday for a week and everything was fine. But like they say different strokes for different folks

No, take a blade, and cut then in half still. What's so hard about that? And also .5 eod is just a generic dose. For me I don't even need any arimidex cause I'd say I'm doing a test only or test and day tren at a low dose, low for me I'd say 500 test 400 tren. Although since I ran a high dose for my last show, I needed to run some caise it was Aromatizing A bit. Some need more some need less. All about the individual

.5mg EOD is the standard most people use from all that I've saw on here. But as people stated below you need to get bloods before and mid cycle to determine an exact dose for you as everyone is different. That being said .5mg EOD may be a good start.

Hrng, I'm not a big fan of taking anti-estrogens just because. They smash your lipids and too low E2 will inhibit growth. These should be your safety nets if your estrogen gets out of range. You could try lower doses of test with higher doses of not/less estrogenic compounds (nandrolone is great for growth) and see how that works for you.

But if you're insistent on your plan, Anastrozole won't stay in your body for long and isn't suicidal, so you're more likely to experience rebound. Just grab a small knife and split the thing.

Quick question. What do you mean by "suicidal"?

Don't mention voodoo magic around here, some people get frightened by different ways of looking at things!

You can achieve estrogen balance just fine by running less gear in better designed stacks.

Chester Rockwell had a great thread on fitmisc that explains it better than I could: http://www.fitmisc.net/forum/showthread.php?72094-Growth-Stack-Design-Pr...

Hey bro, you need to be getting bloodwork while on cycle, it's the wisest thing to do. Your estrogen (E2) will reflect what dosage you should be running. Everyone require different dosages, no one size fits all. Last thing you wanna do is crash your estrogen!!! Anastrozole is a strong anti-estrogen. Look into aromasin perhaps? Looks you need to do a bit more research bro... stay safe.

Don't try and get help here, everyone is a fucking cunt, just go to another forum.

Thanks for the clarification on E2. I simply wasn't familiar with the abbreviation.

I've been good with .5 in the past and was mainly curious to see if anyone else had encountered a similar jump (.5 --> 1) in the past. Blood work will answer that, I was just hoping to get some wisdom at the front end rather than double the adex and wait for lab results.

Appreciate it

Your just going to start taking a medication because you read it online somewhere that you should? You really should know what the hell you're taking and why, not too smart

I'm going to take it because it's been effective for me in previous cycles at .5mg doses. And I'm familiar with how it affects my body at that dose. I tried a new source this time and discovered after purchasing that the tabs are 1mg and not readily split into .5mg doses.

I've never taken 1mg tabs and was curious to see if others have made the adjustment as well.

I was under the impression that one of the purposes of this forum was to ask clarifying questions about the nuances of some aspects of cycles. Perhaps you could direct me to a better platform for this type of question? Apologies for being 'not too smart'.

Apology accepted.
If you want good help then post as much info as you can about your situation and your priors. A few sentences doesnt give much to go off of and the way its written you sound like you dont know much about it. And to have gone through cycles before, and it sounds like gotten bloodwork before it seems odd not to have heard of e2. Anyway good luck,
