as far as noveldex goes i do not know but i know its in the ster. bible i'll look it up and let you know (like i said mine are out-i found out the hard way) as far as pyramiding off , from what i can remember the worst is actually when you're done (i mean the forming of gyno) so going off is a crap shoot. the thing is that some guys are predispositioned for gyno andsome are not. i know one of my buddies was on 2000mg a week and no side effects man, not even a zit. now some just look at a bottle of test and they get it instantly, but noveldex is good to block it. oh also remember hightened sensation in your nips is not uncommon(even i still get that when on a good run of test). as far as cost for removal... no idea... mine were covered by provincial hospital insurance back then. One thing though, pick a good surgeon if it ever comes to it because one of my buddies was fucking butchered... feel sorry for him man.
tha thing is to make sure that they DO NOT go outside the contour of your nipple (outside the brown) his looked like fucking happy faces... fucked up.
hope that helped some...later
