    Need quick answer

    my cycle calls for a-dex at .25mg 2 weeks prior to cycle, during the cycle, and for pct.

    I ordered a 30 count bottle from a source at 1mg a pill.. I PLANNED to just cut the pills into 4.. but I got them today and turns out they're capsules.

    so my question is how can I turn 1mg capsules into .25 servings? Do I have to get scientific and open the capsules up or can I take 1 capsule every 4 days?????

    this is delaying my cycle

    Well you have to open the sucker up and split it in 4. If you have a little scale, you can weight a pills content and split that in 4. Then next time just weight till you hit the same mark and eat the powder.

    Im sure you can find some empty caps and just split the ones you have in 4... you can even eye it if you want.

    I think the problem is that in powder form it would all be digested right away, its not slow released or anything...

    im thinking splitting it is your best option...

    a-dex has a THREE DAY half life, so every 4 days would not give constant levels and allow hormone fluctuation, and im guessing if ya doing a-dex in the first place ya trying to get rid of any sides, not encourage them.

    if you want to do it on the cheap - split the cap, cut in2 4 piles with a blade, n wrap it in a single thin layer of tissue (no excess tissue, try and make as small n neat as possible) you could even add a pinch of protein powder to bulk it out so its easier to swallow

    thanks for the reply and the pm notification..

    sounds like my best option, but still seems like a pain in the ass.. haha

    maybe i'll just put in another order for adex.. but my source doesn't have any .25mg pills .. maybe i'll order l-dex from the site sponsor, but i really didn't want to use a liquid..

    If it has a half life of 3 days, I would try one tables every 3 days. Some level fluctuations, but would be your best bet. That is still a low dose and would average out to be .33 mg/day.

    yea? hmm, that actually works out pretty good. .33mg is close enough to .25mg, no?

    I would give that a try, and if its not working for you figure out something else. Ive always taken it everyday myself though, so I have no practical experience with anything other than that. I think it should work.Ive heard of people doing it every other day, so once every 3 days cant be too big a stretch, especially if what he said is true about it having a half life of 3 days or so.

    what does that have to do with anything?

    does that mean adex isn't 3 days anymore?

    K let me get this straight the pills you got came in "gell cap form" (soft plastic like compond, turns sticky when wet, 2 different colours...) if it is then the cap has nothing to do with timed release it just ensures that the entire powder thats inside makes it to the stomach. what you could do is very carfully pull the cap apart seperat it into 4 equal parts and that will give you your .25mg/day. now the next problem would be getting it to your stomach, i would segest mixing it in a glass of water and drinking it. But trust me that gel cap has nothing to do with timed release.

    that doesn't sound too bad mixing it in alittle water..
    I think I'm just going to take 1 every 2 days.. the extra mg can't hurt..

    there not gel caps there like plastic capsules with powder inside

    Ya bro those little plastic like caps are called "gel caps" they have no affect on time release into your system there just there for a safe trip of the contence to your stomach. splitting them open wont hurt, the reason there called gel caps is not because they have gel in them its becasue there made of "gelatin" which is just animal connective tissue and bones anyways....YUM YUM, EAT UP!

    1mg every 4 days could work.
    that would be .5mg ED, which is a common dose during cycle if you're gyno prone.

    You can take one every 3 or 3.5 days also. If you see signs of gyno, then it's time to switch to anothe form of arimidex that can be dosed properly on a daily basis - or switch right to letro.

    can you overuse armidex? 1mg a day too much during pct for a month?
