Some people say to dose Aromasin oncycle at 12.5mg eod. The half-life is 27hours.. Is it risky to have a yoyo effect with estrogen causing sides?

That's kinda hard when they're always 25mg.... can't split caps, and tabs almost always crumble.

I was wondering the same thing as you man... Arimidex is closer to 48 hrs, so taking it EOD was/is fine, but if Aromasin is only 27 hrs, it's probably not a good idea to take it EOD... but then 25mg will lower estrogen more than I'd like.

So taking 6mg ed should be best. I might need to buy a scale. I realized a month ago that taking gear safely require a lot of time and a taste for research. I am wondering what they did in the 60.

What, are yours 12.5mg?

I'm not sure if breaking up the caps and weighing out the powder is such a good idea... you'll need a scale capable of .01 gram measurements (or would it be .001?), and there's filler in them as well so you might not get an even mix of the active ingredient.

mine are 25. I know.. I pretty hazardous.. what about the liquid form from rc website.. you think it would be easier to dose like this?

If it's measured in ml then yes, because you can use a measured dropper and just suck up 1/2 ml instead of 1. The spray ones, I think they're 6 sprays = 1ml, so I guess you could spray 3 times to get 1/2. Liquids are definitely easier to measure out than caps/tabs.

Sucks about the half life.. I didn't know that.

Something like dosing 25mg e3d should be ok? since it only kills some estrogen for 27h.

I felt a little out of whack when I did the adex e3d.

it kills the receptors and i would think it would take time for new ones to come back.. why not do a lower dosage more often though? like 12.5mg ED or EOD?

if you want some dosage recommendations let me know what your cycle was or is and where along it you are it would give us a better indication

About splitting caps... I`ve been splitting my arimidex caps which are dosed at 1mg into empty gelatin caps. I do this by eye by holding each filled gelatin caps into the light and usually only takes a few tries to have them looking even. I know there`s a risk of them not having equal amounts of arimidex due to fillers but it`s been working for me so thought I`d share that for anyone who cares...

There is no "rebound" effect with aromasin, so is you use it ED,EOD for your cycle you dont really have the same worry as stopping arimidex or Letrozole(bounce back once drug clears your system). aromasin kills the enzyme to convert testosterone to estorogen. One you stop using the Aromasin, your body needs to start rebuilding back up to it's normal amount. Giving you a window to work into a normal range.

I think 12.5 ED or EOD is more than enough. Even 6.25, ED would suffice. It all depends on your body, you are the only one who will have to figure out how these things can work for you or against.

Aromasin, no rebound, gradual return.

Arimidex, rebound, sudden return.

However, Aro is more powerful but, even with that, a 25 mg pill EOD is doable if you need an AI.

12.5mg aromasin ED shut me down hard and bad. Experiment with it because arimidex and letro at same reasonable doses didn't hurt me as much.

As far as splitting caps, it doesn't have to be exact. If you split it unevenly, 10 and 15, it's still better to take 10mg on one day, 15mg on second day than it is to take 25mg EOD.
