Proscar / Propecia

[C0LUMB0]

Anybody still use this stuff while ON ?

Some people say to stay the fuck away from it, its does more harm than good.

Am seeing quite a bit of hairloss on this current cycle and have some proscar, just want a few opinions before i start using it.

cycle is test only ...no deca.

Ive been on it for just over 6 years now with no issues and a full head of hair I probably shouldnt have. Some guys cant handle the slightly lowered sex drive, I actually get more shit done that way. To each there own.

6 years full time , or just while on cycle ??

what dose ?

My personal experience was that I was on it for 2 years and I had no libido whatsoever. Every one is different, it did work on the hair but not on the libido....

4 yrs full time, 1.25mg/ed (one proscar pill split into 4 doses). no issues, did not affect my sex drive / libido or anything, worked great for my hair. In fact, im the only male person in the family with a full head of hair.

Do you use a shampoo?

I have tried different shampoos from time to time that claimed "break up DHT" on the scalp and was using them, until a dermatologist who I used date told me that any anti dandruff shampoo will remove DHT from the scalp. I stopped using them and have not noticed a difference.

Read through the posts. I believe propecia may have been doing me harm...

I've stopped taking it.

Have you tried Nizoral?

I used propecia for a year and had to stop due to libido issues. I also did notice that my body was becoming a little more soft that normal. Look, im no doctor, but DHT is a good thing when it comes to regulating estrogen levels and building lean muscle. I'm sure I will go bald in 10+ years, but I like being a horny fucker with a 6 pack. Plus, I dont look bad with a buzzed head! LOL!

I have started using Nizoral shampoo and toco 8. the results of both have yet to be seen...

Estrogen also plays a very important role in building muscle, thats why guys who try to run Estrogen blockers the whole cycle limit gains. Ive got the same if not better abs since starting Proscar in college. Im defiantly not a doc either but I have a hard time believing 1 or 2 mg of a DHT inhibitor is gonna turn somebody into a banana.
As far as sex drive goes, no arguments on that one, it will lower your sex drive. I lost a little bit off my drive since taking Proscar but thats a good thing for me, thinking with my dick all the time gets you into trouble and makes me lose focus of my goals.

DHT management is an interesting subject.

It appears that running 1mg ED Propecia along with .5mg EOD Arimidex while on a Testosterone Cypionate only cycle was not a good idea for me.

I developed minor gyno symptoms on only 400mg Test per week and .5 EOD Arimidex. According to bros on this forum, it had to be the propecia causing this.

Lowering your sex drive may seem OK when young (although I think that's a bad idea) it will definitely hurt you when you're older.

I have been on avodart for 5 years non-stop; hair is too important to me, but it is what it is. No issues at all for me, including sex drive... still fcuk like a monkey.

What do you guys think of Saw palmetto for preventing the conversion of test to DHT, with some Stinging Nettle for blocking 5-ar? You guys think it is as effective as prescription Propecia? I've heard many cases of it being as effective, but still have some doubts since I haven't heard any of you guys talk about them.

Do you use a shampoo?

Nizoral 2% 5 times a week .

You might try Pregnenolone, I saw reduced shedding and increased feelings of well being.
