Anyone use Tamoxifen

[conklcl]

I have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for about 6 months now first Androgel for a month and then I asked to go to shots less work. I take 70mg 2x a week so 140mg a week my Levels have been staying around 650 to 730. (Just started the 2x, 3 weeks ago was only doing a shot a week)
I went to my endo today because I have been having breast pain and burning he gave me a prescription for Tamoxifen told me to take 5mg everyday. He also really wants me to go back on Androgel said I will have less problem with highs and lows and E2.

What do you guys think so far I have really not seen any change in my sex drive,mood or anything?

I think you need to come see us, so you can get on a real testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) program

5mg is pretty low....i take 20mg a day

I see now

Yea 20mgs until the pain goes away. Then stay on a Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like adex.

5mg is pretty low....i take 20mg a day

I looked at my bottle and they are 10mg not 5mg. My doctor told me to take one a day so he must of meant the 10mg. Do you take and Aromatase inhibitor (AI) or is this it for you?

I have been on 10mg of Tamoxifen a day for 3 days now and I feel a lot better no chest pain or burning. That stuff works really good for me.

Im not saying to go against what your doctor tells you , please consult your physician before making any changes to your program.

With that being said, Nolva is a SERM. That stands for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator. This basically means it acts like an estrogen in the body and competes with estrogen. It has a higher affinity to the estrogen receptor than E does so it attaches to the E receptors in the breast tissue before E can.

This is why your symptoms have subsided. The high amounts of estrogen in your blood now can not activate the receptors in the breast tissue.

The problem with this is estrogen is still running rampant in the body. This is suppressive to your HPTA and causes stress on the organs. It is also probably making you feel lethargic.

We don't use Nolva anymore unless gyno is un controllable with an aromatase inhibitor or AI.

The Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will actually slow the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, therefore lowering total estrogen levels in the body and increasing serum TT. This is the proper way to deal with high estrogen.

The following is a study with one of the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doctors I follow regularly.

Abstract

Gynecomastia is an unusual side effect associated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) that has been traditionally treated with surgery, radiation, or discontinuation of testosterone supplementation. We report here our experience with two cases of gynecomastia in men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) who were successfully treated with the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole.

I called my doctor and he is telling me that Tamoxifen works the same as Anastrozole. The resume he prescribed me Tamoxifen is the price is cheaper but they work the same. He will prescribed if I want so is he wrong?

 

[IMT staff]

If your doctor told you they work the same I would find a new one.

 

[BigFella]

If your doctor said that then he is an idiot. Next time you see him teach him how to use Google.
