Could you please share these studies. I would love to do half a dose - I’m to start mid-January. Thank you!

I've cut and pasted the pertinent information below
(estradiol=estrogen)
Mean serum concentrations of estradiol were evaluated in multiple daily dosing trials with 0.5, 1, 3, 5, and 10 mg of Anastrozole tablets in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Clinically significant suppression of serum estradiol was seen with all doses. Doses of 1 mg and higher resulted in suppression of mean serum concentrations of estradiol to the lower limit of detection (3.7 pmol/L). The recommended daily dose, Anastrozole tablets 1 mg, reduced estradiol by approximately 70% within 24 hours and by approximately 80% after 14 days of daily dosing. Suppression of serum estradiol was maintained for up to 6 days after cessation of daily dosing with Anastrozole tablets 1 mg.

My doctor said it would be fine to take it every other day.
That's what I'm going to try.
My hair has definitely gotten thinner with patches of scalp showing.
I used to have remarkably thick hair. I hate this change along with all the others.
