Quick Question on Nolvadex

[Smokescreen]

I understand that nolvadex DOES NOT lower estrogen. But! Can taking Nolvadex at say 20-40mgs per day for a few weeks kill sex drive????

I heard or read that it can do that. But what I don't understand is why! Why would Nolvadex kill sex drive if it DOESN'T lower estrogen.

Usually the lowering of estrogen to a higher degree as with an aromatase inhibitor would cause the problem - think of femara killing sex drive. However, Nolva - an estrogen agonist/antagonist - does not lower estrogen but rather blocks the receptors for it to "stick to"; in addition, nolva does lower IGF-1 levels. I never experienced loss of sex drive with nolva; however, with Letrozole it was fairly prominent when I used high dosages.

I think its something to do with test and estrogen having to be balance, and when you take the nolva this upsets that balance. I read on here a while back that estrogen plays a role in ya sex drive also, not sure where the post is now.

Guess this borders on hijacking, but I was wondering if taking Nolva while on OT cycle would have an impact on the anabolic effects of OT?... would they be enhanced due to blocking of estrogen?

 

[Smokescreen]

Yes Yes! Both Mr. X and Raffaz are 100% right on that. But like Mr. X said....

So if Nolva does this and not actually lower estrogen. Then why the fuck the decreased sex drive???

Look I'll be dead honest only because this is the type of person I am. My competition with Satch is right around the corner. And I got drugs laying around the house that will get me ripped to the fucking bone!

But the only reason why I DO NOT want to use them is either because

a: I'll feel like shit!
b: It'll kill my sex drive OR
c: make me feel like shit AND kill my sex drive.

And I am NOT going to do any of these just to win an internet competition. Know what I mean?

I'm actually using Tren right now. And I've only been on the stuff for 4 weeks. And just yesterday I was really considering just dropping the Tren and just stick to all 100% natural. Because this stuff is making me feel like crap! No nightsweats, but I do have a bit of insomnia and I feel fucking lethargic as hell!!!! And I'm doing all of this for what???????????

Quit fucking hijacking threads dumbasses! I asked a question. I think I deserve an answer to this particular question. Go ask your own fucking question in YOUR OWN thread. Cool?
