There are many posts on the use of Androcur and it seems that most people start with like 150 mg per dag and then go back to 100 mg per day. But to prevent feminization some use Tamoxifen. But how much dose to use for one day. Will 20 mg be enough per day. How long do you need to keep using it.

I´ve been an androcur user during the last 4 months. I really don´t think you need adding tamoxifen so androcur alone, is unable to cause a noticeable extent of feminisation. In my case I use it in low doses though.
But maybe you could need taking tamoxifen If you want to prevent gynecomastia.
I suggest you start only on androcur and with time you are realising by yourself If you need tamoxifen.
If you begin to have undesirable breast growth then you could need start on tamox.

Gynecomasty (man boobs) is unfortunately not infrequent with Androcur. I've seen figures like 15%.

I'm one of those who got the gynecomastia with the use of the generic version of Androcur called Siterone. I'd been on the Siterone for about six months and decided I wanted to try and achieve castrate Testosterone levels prior to a possible bilateral orchiectomy surgery. I noticed the breast growth shortly after I started the increased dose of the Siterone and didn't think too much about it but by the second month in I started getting breast buds and they became very uncomfortable.
So I got some Tamoxifen and started with 10mg a day. Bye the end of that month the breast growth seemed to stop and I could no longer feel any breast buds. I went and got another blood test and while I had been very near castrate Testoserone levels, that had gone up by about 35% with the simultaneous administration of the Tamoxifen. So I quit the Tamoxifen as I didn't want my Testosterone that high. I never got the painful breast buds again but I do have some breast tissue along with the fat I have in my abdomen and chest area due to weight gain.
I've not used any Tamoxifen since my trip to Southfield, MI a couple of years ago.
YMMV.

Are any of these drugs available over the counter or from foreign sources? I'd like to try them beginning with small doses to find out how it feels. I don't think I want to go too low because I was on Lupron for a year and a half and didn't like it at all. I assume Lupron took me to zero or close to it. Maybe the effects of these other drugs might be milder than Lupron.
