Having been on bicalutamide for the past 14 months - my advice is that whilst it is safe and has a low profile of side effects it takes an age to build up enough to block testosterone (like 2-3 months minimum) and you have to live with increased testosterone in the short term while it blocks up your receptors - you will retain high levels of t (although it has nowhere to go) without sufficent estrogen to lower production of t. Spiro just made me feel bloated and brought me out in a rash although these side effects werent serious they werent much fun either.....
Due to supplier issues am having to switch to cypro - I would caution having tried it over the past couple of weeks that it is very strong but it would definitely do the job if thats what you want. The effects are mitigated by having about a 2 day half life and whilst fertility can be comprised it doesnt reduce testosterone to castrate levels indefinitely. There is an article here suggesting 25mg is just as effective as 50mg (although this is in conjunction with estrogen):
