My exemestane arrived, 25 mg capsules. Difficult to split the dose to 12.5 mg with capsules. Would 25 mg eod work? The half life is only 27 hours.

Everyone is different. Can start with 25 mg eod, but check estro levels so as not to crash them and adjust if necessary, maybe 25 mg e3d. Im fine at 12.5 eod (but my caps are 12.5)

Agree with Piro: I run 12.5 eod. If you're on cycle right now, 25 Mg eod may work fine for you, but listen to your body. If you begin to feel lethargic, lose libido, depression, you're probably killing your e2 and need to switch to 25 Mg e3d as Piro suggested.

Thanks guys. Yes Noble I am on cycle. I think I will start with one pill every third or fourth day. Perhaps every Monday and Thursday. I plan on going off cycle in about four weeks. At that time I will begin hCG treatment.

25mg Mon, Thurs, Sat.

12.5 mg eod is perfect for me as well. The half life is not as relevant as it seems. AI is a suicide inhibitor and 27 hours in your 25mg aromasin is still 12.5 mg worth of suicide inhibitor. It will not crash your estro as easily as most AIs but you will need to keep an eye on it for sure.

What compounds are you running bro?

Depends on u! When i first started aro, hit it every other day for 3 weeks and my e2 crashed hard! Then had to readjust eventually leading to 25 mlg every wednesday and that was it for me!

So try what these guys are suggesting and adjust if ur e2 crashes

You can split open the caps and adjust your dosage that way also. Just throw the powder in some OJ or Gatorade. Half life in men is actually about 9 hrs.

^^^is this right? Was always under the impression, unless its a very small capsule, that a filler is added to the compound to fill the cap. Thus splitting the capsule in half doesn't mean you'll have half the compound if that side of the capsule has the filler. I could be wrong, but that's how I always understood it.

Pretty sure the active ingredient is mixed with the filler pretty thoroughly before it is capped.

Test blend 400 and EQ. I was running Deca with Test for the last year, but have now developed gyno. My E2 is off the chart.

^^good question...and have you not been taking an AI the first X amount of weeks...why now?

I never took an AI at all. I wish now I had. I have developed gynecomastia, and now I must start bringing down the E2 levels.

True. Although the documentation says it is practically insoluble in water.
