Q: “What is the situation with Nolvadex or Clomid use and vision problems? Is it okay to continue their use when problems first start, if they do, or should I discontinue immediately?” A: It probably is the case that not only Nolvadex and Clomid but all SERMs can cause vision problems on a dose-dependent basis.

Advantages of Combining SERMs
Q: “Are there ever advantages to combining SERMs? Also, what SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) are there besides Clomid and Nolvadex, and how might I use them?” A: Different SERMs in fact work somewhat differently from each other. All of them block estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and in breast tissue, for example, but some […]
Long-Term Use of Clomid or Nolvadex to Increase Testosterone Levels
Q: “My T levels are low-normal and for me there’s a drastic life quality difference when I use even small amounts of testosterone. Instead of injecting testosterone every week for the rest of my life, could I use Clomid or Nolvadex instead? When I’ve used Clomid post-cycle I had great results and felt much better. […]
Can Letrozole Replace Nolvadex for PCT?
Question: Can letrozole be used to replace Nolvadex (tamoxifen) during post cycle therapy (PCT)? If so, since it appears to be a bit stronger, how much should be run during PCT? Answer: The purpose of letrozole is to control estrogen levels, with the typical goal being the low end of normal. Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) and clomiphene […]
Why Use Both Clomid and Nolvadex Together for PCT?
Q: I have read that Clomid and Novadex are very similar products. Is this true? If so why would you need to take both? A: The administration of antiestrogens is a common treatment because anti-estrogens interfere with the normal negative feedback of sex steroids at hypothalamic and pituitary levels in order to increase endogenous gonadotropin-releasing […]

Should Nolvadex be Avoided at All Cost?
Nolvadex is the trade name of a drug containing a molecule called Tamoxifen. Its primary use by male bodybuilders is to prevent gynecomastia (the growth of the breast tissue). It was introduced by steroid guru Dan Duchaine 25 years ago. After a quarter of century, it is time for an update about its use. What […]
How to Use Nolvadex
Nolvadex (tamoxifen citrate) is very comparable to Clomid, behaves in the same manner in all tissues, and is a mixed estrogen agonist/antagonist of the same type as Clomid. The two molecules are also very similar in structure. It is not correct that Nolvadex reduces levels of estrogen: rather, it blocks estrogen from estrogen receptors and, […]

Inhibition and Recovery of Natural Testosterone Production
One of the most significant side effects of anabolic/androgenic steroid (AAS) use is inhibition of natural testosterone production. There is no way to entirely avoid the problem, but there are ways to minimize the problem and recover natural testosterone levels reasonably quickly after a cycle. In this article, we will look at the problem of […]
