Can I Run Tamox Instead of Anastrozol on Cycle

I have been on deca 400 pwk test e 500 pwk for 12weeks with .5 anastrozol EOD. This is last week of my cycle. I am out of anastrozol but have tamox on hand. My plan is to run high test two more weeks then cruise low test at 250 per week for 12 wk. Is the tamox possible or is that wrong.

I am trying to keep away from gyno and estrogen buildup. I plan to run high test only after the twelve to sixteen week cruise.

if you simply can’t get anything else at all and are in emergency mode, then it’s better than nothing, i guess.

however, SERMs (tamoxifen, tore, ralox, clomid) don’t lower estrogen… they prevent it from binding to the estrogen receptor.

AI’s (anastrozole, exemstane, letrozole) prevent estrogen from being formed.

at this point, you could expect a significant amount of aromatization, and unfortunately, a ton of suppression. estrogen is far more supressive than testosterone, so if you go into PCT with high estrogen, then you can’t expect a particularly good recovery.

EDIT: i just read that you plan on cruising anyway, so that simplifies this quite a bit: no, a SERM won’t do. get an AI.

I don’t know how long it will take you to get an AI, but in the meantime you can load up on natural sources if you wish. Cruciferous vegetables being the best. Better than nothing

Thanks good info
