Nolvadex dosing for puffy nipples

How long has it been since you increased the Arimidex — are you giving it enough time to work or do you need to raise it? I’ve never had to run both at once. If you want to keep estro levels where they are but get rid of the nips, I’d do 10 mg Nolva daily. If you want to actually lower estro, try 0.25 mg Arimidex every three days. You shouldn’t need both — either bump the Arimidex or go up to 20 mg Nolva. What’s your goal: just lose the puffiness or reduce overall estrogen? Pick one and stick with it. Just my bro-science.

If you upped your dose and the symptoms got worse, it might make sense to drop the dose back down. The only way to be sure is to get bloods and see what your levels actually are. Use an AI to bring estrogen down and a SERM like Nolvadex or raloxifene if gyno is present. I’ve personally never needed daily Nolvadex just for puffy nipples — if you do, it usually means your estrogen is too high systemically and needs lowering.

I’ll take a different stance than most. I’m a big fan of Nolvadex for handling sides. A buddy of mine starts getting sensitive nips once he’s over 500 mg; when it shows up he blasts 40 mg daily for two weeks, it clears up, then he drops to a 20 mg maintenance for the rest of the cycle. Works every time for him. Bonus — if you’ve already got some gland from puberty or past hormones, Nolva can shrink that tissue too. Personally I think swapping in compounds like primo or EQ to control high E2 is preferable to relying solely on an AI, and then Nolvadex takes care of any gyno front. For really bad cases, raloxifene is extremely potent.
