Anyone take Anastrozole every other day?

I wonder if anyone here takes Anastrozole every other day. If so, does it lessen your side effects? Thank you.

It has been almost 4 weeks since I went every other day with anastrozole. It affected my stomach and digestive tract when I started it the first few weeks ( 2 years ago) and experienced that again, but milder with lower dozing. Too early to tell for sure how I feel, but seems to be better with less brain fog and joint discomfort!
My decission may have be easier than for most since I had a score of 10% and 3% with AI. I believe they are doing cliinical trials on lower dosing now.

I'm surprised they're so adamant about not every other day. Considering that this one dose has a 50-hour half life. So you're doubling and tripling up every time you take a pill? Is that why you get sick later rather than at first. I am so tired I can't lift my head off the pillow. I sleep 24/7 almost. I have no energy to walk one small block to the pharmacy. I feel sick all the time. I swear to God this is not living. I do not even want to stay alive like this.
