i am getting "itchy" and am using 2 10mg nolvadex tabs at night. do i need more?

No, 20mg a day should suffice.

i have been using them this whole time, and it just now started to itch. should i increase the mgs

The whole time? Dang! I think it's best that stuff only be used when needed. What's your stack and how much are you taking?

Btw, try bumping it to 30mg/day and see of that helps.

you may need arimidex/winny stacked depending on what your using. are you sure it is estrogen related and not progesterone?

Willk has a good point. Could it be progesterone related?
If not, then increase to 40mg/d until sympoms dissapear. Then lower down to 30mg as obviously 20mg is not enough for you.

Adding Arimidex might be a good idea as it will lower the amount of estrogen floating around, although Arimidex by itself sucks the big one when it comes to preventing gyno.

i have never heard that before? what do you mean? i thought it stopped estrogen conversion. what else would be needed?

My self and a few other people I know, when we use Arimidex by itself, we still get gyno. As soon as we take Nolvadex, gyno goes. I use both - arimidex to stop the bloat (nolv doesn't do much for me there) and nolv to stop gyno.

Oh, and the arimidex I get it on script, so no prob there. And we are talking 1mg/day here of Arimidex.

I'm glad to see Nolva will still be popular in the months to come, even when generic Arimi becomes just as cheap.

Nolvo must still be pretty popular. Last time I checked, a certain someone had it on back order. lol.

I always like to have both on hand. (So when your friends come crying that they don't have enough anti-e's and were not smart enough to take your advise and hit up a certain someone, (Some Body Cool) hmmmmm??? :) you don't have to part with your treasured Arim.

As for dosing Nolv. . .Just keep on upping the dose untill the gyno symptoms are alleviated. I see too many guys get a figure set in stone and think that that dose will work for them. That's a sure fire way to increase your bra size bro. (Don't get caught up in figures. . .the onset of gyno is judged by a feeling the alleviating should be judged this way also.) Then when the symptoms are gone begin slowly lowering the dose. You have to remember that aromitization will and does occur at different rates for each individual.
Peace. Freez.

go right to 40mg if doesnt help w/in few days go 60mg/day....
...if its prog. related--then nolva will do nothing, so depends what your on...

....as for ARIMIDEX--- it will not lower your estrogen thats already preset or "floating around" --rather it stops the conversion... so it will not do anything for that itching---you need the nolvadex...which will lower the already present estrogen..assuming this is estrogen related.
