I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT ARIMIDEX WAS LIKE NOLVADEX FOR GYNO SYMPTOMS. PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME THAT ARIMIDEX IS USED TO GET EXCESS WATER OUT OF YOUR BODY. IS THIS TRUE?
this has been covered adnauseum. In the simplest terms, nolva blocks the E receptor to lessen the effects of E, anastrozole actually prevents the creation of E via the P450 enzyme.
Can anastrozole reduce estrogen that is already in the system? In other words, can you just use it when you think your e level is too high, or do you have to use it constantly throughout a cycle?

No, neither can nolva. anastrozole only reduces how much is converted. Nolva cant even do that (and hence the fact its of little use for bloating) and all it does is block the ER so the excess E floating around cant cause too much damage.
