Thoughts on Nolvadex
« on: March 06, 2006, 12:02:32 AM »
I've heard alot of different things on Nolvadex. Mostly good, but some say to stay away from it. Does Nolva suffice as a good anti-estrogen, or is it better to just spend the money and get Arimidex?

arimidex is good for during ur cycle expecially if ur running a compund that tends to make u hold more water, which in the end meand their may be more estrogen floating around than normal. nolva is used for post cycle therapy and can be used during a cycle if u see gyno showing.

Agree with m19--Nolva is not meant to be used as an on-cycle anti-e.  Use arimidex or letrozole while on, and save the nolva for PCT or to use if some gyno apears during your cycle.

If the only aromitizing drug I'm using is Test Prop @ 100mg EOD, do you think I'll be ok without the Arimidex and just keep the Nolva on hand? I'll be taking Masteron too, which I guess is somewhat of an AE.

i dont believe that about nolva cutting gains in half, maybe cutting them a bit but not that much. proviron is good helped keep water off me but i did have some sugns of gyno pop up while using 50mg ed of proviron and i still got some signs which then i used nolva and got rid of it.

Nolvadex is an anti-estrogen

Arimidex is an aromatase-inhibitor

Completely different category of drugs.

Nolvadex blocks estrogen receptors, so the estrogen can't exhibit the effects on the affected tissues.

Arimidex blocks the conversion of Testosteron to Estrogen thereby cutting off the supply at the source.

Nolvadex you should be using during PCT.

Arimidex should be used on-cycle if at all.
