How should I dose arimidex?

[Flare1753]

The whole purpose is to keep growth plates open for longer. I’m not taking any test or aromatizing androgens. I want to minimize side effects while getting the height effect from it.

Look, if your goal is to keep your growth plates open for longer, there really isn't a "magic" anastrozole dose that gives you the height benefit without any risks. In studies on adolescent boys, they often used 1 mg per day, but that doesn't mean it's the right dose for everyone.

The bigger issue is that if you don't even know whether your growth plates are still open, you could end up lowering your estrogen for no real benefit. Before thinking about dosing, I'd want to know if there's actually any growth potential left, usually through a bone age X-ray or similar imaging.

How old are you? Because the answer is very different if you're 15, 17, 19, or older.
