    Maintenance dose of test and dose of tamoxifen

    Hello all, just looking for some advice on dosage of tamoxifen with a maintenance dose of test E 250/ml, and One CC per week. But I have been taking this dosage for at least 7 years now with no issues and desired results. BUT my nipples are getting bumps under them and I suspect Gyno,,, what would be the correct dose of tamoxifen based on that low of test dose to feel some relief of tenderness? Thanks for any info in advance

    Probably I would have a sensitive E2 panel pulled first. Your estrogen may be high and a small amount of an aromatase inhibitor may be needed rather than a SERM if you plan on maintaining that dosage.

    What AG said. Know that you may have been just fine for 7 years but our bodies change over time thus requiring us to change our protocols. It's not unusual at all for a person on TRT to be able to go without an AI for years then things just change and one is needed. Happened to me as well.

    I'm curious where your T levels run at trough and how your Hematocrit is holding up? I'd also strongly suggest you cut your dose down a little and consider changing your protocol to possibly 100 mgs x 2 per week. You won't notice the 50 mg drop and that may just be enough to mitigate the possible estrogen issues without the need for an AI (not serm). Serms prevent estrogen from binding to chest receptors but do absolutely nothing to stop estrogen from rising.

    I was running 200mg/wk for about 1 1/2 - 2 years and noticed I got really tired. Had not had the problem before. Added some adex and that solved the problem but I later stopped that and lowered my dosage to 150mg/wk (My current TRT dosage) which removed the need for Adex. Feel much better overall on this dosage.

    Yeah blood work is critical for you at this point. Any time your body starts changing and requiring new drugs to maintain we want to find out why. Make sure your estrogen is in check cause it's prob high. If so, you will want an AI not a serm because we want a little estrogen for brain and joint health but too much can create a lot of health problems for us men.

    But if you're set on taking nolva then take 40mg until the sensitivity goes away then drop to 20mg.
