Your Webmaster's experience with Gynecomastia

It occurred to me that I never wrote up my own experience with gynecomastia.

For a year and a half, I was on Zoladex and single-dose Casodex (50 mg/day) with no gynecomastia. When I went off the Zoladex and onto triple-Casodex (150 mg/day), my nipples became extremly tender and my breasts began to swell. I also put on about 40 pounds.

When I stopped the triple-Casodex, the gynecomastia disappeared. I also lost the 40 pounds and my weight stabilized at where it was a year before.

In other words, it clearly depends on the drugs and the man.
