nolva side effects?

[VaughnTrue]

I finished a cycle of M1D and M1A by legal gear just over 3 weeks ago. Everything went smoothly and I gained some serious size. I started my PCT at 40mg Nolva(plus all the liver supports) and have been tappering it down to 10mg for the last week(which started thursday). After the first week of PCT I started to notice an odd side effect(or at least i THINK it is), my urethra(inner base of penis/urine "tube"(haha sorry, best way to get my point across) has been experiencing what feels like serious spasms. They last only 1-3 seconds and dont hurt...just very odd. As I've tapered down the Nolva, I've found the spasms to be less frequent. Has ANYONE ever experience something similar?

While it is very unfortunate what you are experiencing, the drug you reference does NOT appear to be the responsible party. A majority of nolvadex's metabolism is hepatic (liver) and much is excreted via the biliary route in the feces (not by way of the urinary tract).

In addition, estrogen receptor density would not be touted heavily in the urethral meatus either.

How are other factors in your PCT going as well as alternative agents being used?

The rest of my PCT is composed of Milk Thistle, Taurine(my absolute favorite supp for pct, talk about a life saver), 6-OXO, and other liver/herb supports. I havent a CLUE as to what could be making this happen. The only other supps I'm taking I've been taking for months now, and are your basic Muscle Milk, Cytosport Whey, and multi's...:-( I hope after my last week of PCT it stops...its insanely annoying/borderline scary.

Well, you have suggested that things seemed as though they were potentially improving. How are the quoted "pumps" today? Any improvements?


How bout water and caloric tallies?

i only noticed 2-3 yesterday, and 0 as of today so far :-) so much much better. My water has always been constant...as much as I can physically keep in me without puking, i drink. My calories are up around 3500/4000 each day, and are only healthy foods(chicken breast, ultra lean beef, peanut butter, bananas, pineapple, veggies, and occasionally some pork). The only time my diet changed was this past weekend...it was my sisters wedding, and after 6 months of PERFECT eatting, I figured I owed it to myself to indulge on some good stuff.

personally i wouldnt worry too much about them bc i have felt them in the past, never had anything to do with a cycle (at least for me, mine happenned on a clean system), but i can clearly remember that feeling and it was awkward to say the least. same with you, i could never put my finger on what caused it, but they came and went, 2 or 3 days, then maybe a few months later id experience it again...but this was about 1-2 years ago. nothing since. so i cant recall too much from lifestyle to compare pump causes with you lol.

if it gets out of hand or troublesome, maybe see a doctor and let me know what it is!
