Thread: Arimidex Dosage on my First Cycle

I have searched the forum and other forums (all give different dosages plus the cycles they are running are way more complex than mine), I just find this forum more reliable and better so your input and feedback is really important.

So summary of what I am asking;
1- How much Arimidex I should use during the cycle?
0.5mg eod
2- Do I take it from day 1 of the injection?
Yes
3- If I feel symptoms of gyno, by how much should I increase the dosage (asking to be prepared in case)
0.5mg ed
4- Dosage for PCT
Aromasin is much better, but since you can't find that do 0.5/0.5/0.25/0.25

Thank you all!

See above...

Ok, you can close the thread, if you like.

Thanks alot GMO!

BTW, is there a smart way of breaking those pills in half?
They are just tiny.

I thought using adex in pct with nolva was a no no?

When I am on cycle i use (Armidex) .5ED

I like to go with aromasin during cycle.

I take 0.5 eod while on heavy aromatizing drugs and I'm a little on the heavy side 17% bf and my abs are still visible while I'm getting bigger AI's are vital for a clean successful cycle

Buy a pill cutter from the drug store that's what I use

I use arimidex .5 eod. But now I don't think I will have enough to run .25.25 .50.5 during my pct and hear its not needed?! Can someone explain because I am not sure If I need to order more for my pct.. Thanks

It is very needed. If you don't run your AI long enough, the estrogen will rebound and you'll be more like to feel symptoms like depression, loss of libido, lethargy. Also, e2 related sides such as bad acne and gyno might flare up. An AI in pct is actually more important in pct than on cycle.

If there's no aromatizing drugs in your system then why is an AI needed in pct? Isn't it just going to keep crushing your estrogen levels, therefore crushing the negative feedback loop for your body to kickstart its own test?

Im asking about this, not telling. Please correct me or let's discuss this because it's something I'd like to know.

If you're not using an aromatizing compound, the need of an AI is unwarranted. For example, some women run winny as a cutter and an AI is pretty much useless for that. You have to be careful of prolactin related side often times with compounds that don't aromatize.
