Just came off of 4 weeks 1test/4AD/OHT, started pct with Tamoxifen Citrate @ 60mg for 5 days, and 40 for the past 3.

I was retaining a lot of water, and dropped it all in about 2 days or so. (about 8 lbs)

Now, Im constantly thirsty. I mean constantly. Im pissing like a race horse because I must be drinking 8Oz+ of H2O every hour at least.

Is this the body's response to the excessive fluid loss? Should I keep drinking water in response to the thirst? It was really bad yesterday and seems to be quite a bit better today...I dont feel dehydrated or anything...

USUALLY if you are thirsty it is already too late. NORMALLY you should drink enough so you don't get thirsty.

It concerns me that you think 8oz+ an hour is ALOT.
I am thinking PERHAPS this is why you gained so much water weight. 8ounces an hour is only about a gallon a day and if you are on Prohormones or AS that is a MINIMUM to drink.
 
Well, maybe its more like 16Oz...

But you're right - I definately did not get enough water in for the latter part of the cycle. And that's when I gained the majority of the water weight.

Usually I do drink at least a gallon a day.

And this NEW estimate is based on what, that you got busted drinking to little water lol

Just kidding bro actually my reply to your post reminded me that my water intake which used to be really good is now HORRIBLE. I don't even want to tell you how LITTLE water I now drink. :sad:

So I just went and got a glass of water and am making a vow to learn from this.

Thanks and good luck.

:D Well, sorta:) The water bottle I bring to work is 16Oz I was chugging that down every hour or so. But you're right - the last weekof that cycle and the first week of PCT I didnt drink nearly enough water - I know it was less than a gallon a day for a few days straight.

I did a brief search and excessive thirst can be caused by exessive fluid loss or retention, anxiety, diabetes, and a host of other ailments. We'll see - like I said its getting progressively better.

Yesterday it felt like I had sand in my mouth all day...

Does this have anything to do with the bloodpressure supplement maybe?
 
Its not too bad today...Im beginning to think its all in my head. I definately wasnt drinking enough water, though.
 
Nolva can cause you to drop a lot of water and dry you out. Not drinking enough water, or dietary changes can make it worse. Did you alter your diet at all when you started PCT?
 
not really just kept the calories high...around a 40/35/25 ratio. Maybe alittle too much salt last week. The only thing new in my system in the tamoxifen.

Its more like a cotton mouth feeling than an all-out thirst. I have plenty of saliva and my throat isnt dry.
 
Its really a lot better now...I feel thirsty every 2 hours or so instead of every 10minutes. Damn. That was unexpected!

Thanks for the replies gentlemen...

You know now that I think about it, for the last 2 weeks of that cycle my urine was a darker yellow. A telltale sign of not enough water. I can't belive I over looked such a basic necessity! Within days of comming off, it was back to its normal pale yellow color, and then I dropped all the bloat.

Stupid!

Thats weird I am 7 days into pct with 40mg ed of nolva having just finished a 1test/4ad/4oht cycle as well. Dropped 9 lbs in 4 days when I started pct, can see my abs all of a sudden and all the bloat is gone but am thirsty all the time.

I was just reading your thread when I realized how freakin thirsty I am and I just had a drink. Got to go get some more water its driving me crazy!
 
Cool so its not just me then!:) When it first hit me, I would be thirsty as soon as I finished a glass of water. It was very unsettling. Everything is fine now, though.

Damn Nolva...

Definately the cause.. Nolva makes me piss all night.... :blink:

In the future try to down some Pedialyte when this occurs... I used to use it in College for hangovers :D, but it works well for this too. It will definately help!
 
when I'm on pct I'm thirsty all the time and piss all night. so your not alone. I have a friend that had the same results while taking winstrol. it dries you out also.
