Tamoxifen or anastrozole?
ad
Wanted to get an idea of what y'all are using, and why. I've been using arimidex. when I had some gyno flare up, I used tamoxifen and letrozole to remedy it before it became serious. I've recently read that some people just use tamoxifen as a E blocker. What is everyone's thoughts on this? Or is this just a personal thing? Some work better for others perhaps?

Any person that is saying use tamoxifen as an anti e is a sarm goblin that knows nothing. You use tamox if you have gyno or pct and use aromison, adex, or letro for reducing and managing estrogen. But raloxifene is a much better alternative than tamox for gyno, works much better and less side effects but ralox is not as readily available cuz it’s more expensive.
It's simple:
By using AIs, you interrupt free testosterone's biotransformation into estrogens.
Using tamoxifen, you make the tissue in specific regions (in your case, the chest) less sensitive to estrogens.
It's important to remember that tamoxifen use does not affect estrogen levels.
AK8012.5mg Aromasin on a Saturday afternoon if I go over 600mg of Test per week. I also split up my shots to keep blood levels stable and no side effects. 150mg every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (450mg total). Been doing that forever and never needed an AI. Might pop one if I ever start to feel emotional though, rarely.
I like Aromasin
AK80and toiturls!
Im running 10mg of anastrazole every 3 days to combat the gyno issues. What about using Caber?
10mg? Have you already developed gyno or is that your preventative measure?
That's a hell of a lot of arimidex every 3 days
Maybe he means 1mg? My pills are 1mg pills
Long story short my lab results kept coming back with high estrogen and fatigue symptoms. Cnt seem to process my test fully apparently so my drs answer was take a full pill every injection.
They are two different substances with different mechanisms of action. One is an aromatase inhibitor, and tamoxifen is a SERM. The first acts on the enzyme that regulates the conversion into estrogens, while the second acts on estrogen receptors, leaving the estrogens still in circulation. If estrogen levels are high, they remain high. They have different uses.
I use an AI during the cycle and tamoxifen during PCT or when my nipples start to itch.
That seems to be my goto when the AI isn't enough, I add tamoxifen in 2x a week. Although I've never went on pct. Figured gear is my forever drug of choice now
I’ve had gyno form with zero itchiness and pain/sensitivity in the nipples
