Your getting spot on advice so I'm gonna stay out of it but..................................lay off the Adex! stuff is super strong, you have successfully mitigated the high levels, now you are prob non-existent. You said you/your family runs high, totally appreciate, I'm down to .25 per week on a 180mg weekly pin.
Everybody is different but that's strong stuff.

I thought Adex (in pill form) only had a half life of around 48 hours or so. How are you guys taking so little all week?

So yesterday, on day two of being off the Adex I was feeling amazing. I felt like my old self again. Today I'm a little sluggish, but I just woke up. Also, I just got a CPAP machine yesterday and last night was the first night using it. Let's just say I did not sleep like a baby.

Getting my E2 labs done today. Pretty excited for results. Those take about a week to come back from LabCorp, right?

I call it the "Vodka method". I have an eye dropper that dispenses 0.75 mL calibrated to a line on the dropper barrel. I dissolve a 1 mg pill into 1.5 mL vodka 9 two droppers). I then dispense 4 to 5 drops per day into my first glass of drinking water of the day. This dispenses approximately 0.4 to 0.5 mg anastrozole per week in very small daily doses. I did a number of weight experiments using a sensitive pan balance to arrive at that dose. I suspect most medical droppers will yield similar results.

Is that safe? I thought Adex sat in your stomach and slowly dissolved over a period of many hours. Wouldn't this method effectively get all the Adex into your bloodstream at once? I realize it's not like an intravenous injection, and it's not nearly as much medicine, but still way faster than pill form, right?

Day 3 off Adex and still feeling pretty good. I think may feel the same as I did the first two days, it's just that my reference feeling at that point was in the toilet so naturally I'm going to report I felt way better since anything was better at that point. Gonna go on the new regimen for 3 weeks or so and then get labs redone and post.

Yes, quite safe. Been doing it for years.

No, the stuff dissolves in less than a minute in liquid, whether that be in a bottle or your stomach.

The stuff is not very stable in a polar solvent. Alcohol is less polar than water but still polar (and Vodka contains a good slug of water). Therefore, you have to make it up fresh, one pill at a time. I find that at 4-5 drops per day it lasts me about 2 weeks and then I make it up fresh again. Works just fine.
