Dosing Nolvadex?

[teutonic]

I'm taking tren/prop combo from EQL for 8 weeks. Taking bromo during cycle and clomid after cycle.

I also have Nolvadex on hand. I have 40 pills at 20mg apiece. Now wondering how should I take it? Should I start at the first day of the cycle till end? Only problem being I don't have enough for the full 8 week cycle.

Or take it at the first sign of gyno (itchy nips) and dose it at
40mg day 1
20mg day 2 and on till symptoms stop or still take it even after symptoms stop.

Thanks for any input.

You just copy and pasted what I said. Does any one have an answer or suggestions.

LOL, that's the answer.
Don't use it until you have to - avoid the lowered IGF-1.
You can use it for the post cycle recovery if you don't need it...

[teutonic]

OK. but if I do need to take it do I stop when the symptoms go away OR do I continue taking it throughout the rest of the cycle.

Now that was funny shit !!

I'd continue with 10 or 20 mg a day, after symptoms go away for the length of cycle.

Continue until the end of cycle...
10-20 mg ED after the symptoms disappear will be enough... that's the usual dose used in gyno treatment..

Thanks for the help.

I would run 10mg throughout your entire cycle. Nolva can act as a psuedo-estrogen and do good things for you such as cholesterol levels.

The whole thing about Nolva hinders gains from IGF-1 lowering is WAY overrated. The amount the IGF-1 lowered is highly INSIGNIFICANT when you compare how much anabolics you are taking in.

If you do wait till you see signs. I would suggest 60mg until pain or signs go away. After this continue running at 20mg for at least 10 days past the last sign of symptoms. If you are in midst of cycle, you should just continue running it as the chances of the estrogen buildup returning is high.

You can find many studies on medline...
Here's an example:

[Testosterone and estradiol levels in male gynecomastia. Clinical and endocrine findings during treatment with tamoxifen]

[Article in German]

Eversmann T, Moito J, von Werder K.

Oestradiol-(E2) levels in serum were significantly higher in a group of 91 males with gynaecomastia than in a control group. The levels were highest in patients with testicular tumour, hyperprolactinaemia and idiopathic gynaecomastia. In gynaecomastia of puberty and primary or secondary hypogonadism, the E2 level was within normal limits, but the testosterone/oestradiol ratio was significantly reduced. Tamoxifen, at a daily dose of 20 mg, was administered over 2-4 months to 16 patients with gynaecomastia. Of twelve patients with painful gynaecomastia ten became painfree. Gynaecomastia regressed partially or completely in 14 patients, in only 2 was it unchanged. There was no recurrence of gynaecomastia after discontinuing tamoxifen. Side-effects did not occur. It is concluded that tamoxifen is a promising alternative to the surgical treatment of gynaecomastia.
