Just wondering what side effects this has. Women have to take estrogen after the change of life to prevent arthritis(not sure how to spell osteo).So what effect would it have on a man?Also what mental effects does it have?

Thanx for any info

Reducing/eliminating estrogen can create a wide range of problems. For instance, the effects it can have on blood lipid profiles are quite significant.

Ive never had a problem with nolvadex. I had a slight case of gyno last year, and it cleared it up pretty quick.

Clomid on the other hand makes me extremely emotional. Emotional to the point of not being able to control myself with crying/nervousness/anxiety/depression etc.

Nolvadex and clomid are SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) characterized by being an estrogen receptor antagonist. Arimidex,letro, etc are A.I.(aromatase inhibitors) that eliminate/reduce estrogen. Estrogen has positive effects.

I have a problem with a small amount of fat in hips and thighs. Wondering if an anti estrogen supplement might help. My testosterone levels are normal for a male my age. Thanks
