Of course it would, any AI should be started immediately with the Nolvadex. The nolvadex will help to stop the effects almost immediately while the AI will take a little time to be effective.

Note on Nolvadex is that it's biphastic (as most drugs are) are its main half life (high activity time) we are concerned with is 17 hours with a peak in 5 hours. It's elimination half-life is around 7+ days though and a steady-state level of it takes several weeks to obtain. But again, the main number we are concerned with regarding getting levels up and doing their job is 17 hours so once or twice daily to obtain its benefits in the short term.

Excellent advice already given....
The dosages used in clinical trials (to reduce tumors, not gyno) is 2.5 mg/day, tapering down by .5 mg every 7 days or something like that...but this protacol would definitely bring estrogen levels down to completely undetectible levels in most people pretty damn quick and keep em there for a long time. I know guys who have used it @ 1 mg/day and tapered down by .25 mg every 5 days with excellent results. You do want to taper it no matter what dose you use to avoid the rebound effect. I would go ahead and use it...a few weeks on it wont seriously hinder your gains, and its hard to find training bra's in size 44.

Sorry bro, that shit aint funny. Good luck with it...

Hmmmm, so thats why everyone told me to take Clomid once a day and divide the nolva into two dosages for PCT....makes sense now, thanks for the info.
