It's a breast cancer drug, but bodybuilders take a much lower dose -- 0.25 or 0.5 mg, two or three times a week -- to get their estrogen down and their free testosterone up. If your estradiol level is fine, the beta blocker nebivolol causes a significant increase in testosterone.

Thank you very much for interesting information! I have forwarded it to my psychiatrist. Do endocrinologists prescribe Arimidex and/or nebivolol to patients with pathological estradiol or testosterone levels if they have psychiatric symptoms?

Today I took the blood tests of estradiol and the other things I mentioned. I will post it here when I have the results.

I wonder if my low testosterone levels are part of the effect of my meds, since I have very little aggression. In 1996 I took my first testosterone blood test, and it was low already then. I used psychotropic drugs at that time too.
