Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some chat on finasteride experience good or bad. What doses are effective and lower side effects? I plan to run it with test e sdrol and anavar 500/20/50-75. Will .5 or 1mg eod b effective and have less chance of limp d***
As far as what's effective and what isn't, it really all depends on the person. A lot of experienced gear users will tell you to run 2.5mg of Finasteride or dutasteride per gram of test/week. If it were me, I'd run minimum 1mg of finasteride a day for your cycle. If you buy proscar tabs (5mg each), you can split them into quarters and have 1.25mg doses.
The more you take, the more you inhibit the 5ar enzyme and the more likely you are to have lower DHT levels and potentially low libido. There is definitely a point of diminishing retuns so more is not always better and you certainly do not want to crush your DHT levels. The idea of using a 5ar inhibitor on cycle is to limit an increase in DHT from the test. Having said that, 1mg/day is better than .5mg/day which is better than 0mg/day. It's that simple.
In all honesty, you are going to have to experiment to see what works for you. You may not show any side effects at all, especially when combining with IM test. Are you prone to MPB?
This info can easily be found here or on the wed by searching. Finasteride is targeted to Prostate and scalp, so no chance of very little issue with ED.
There are studies that show Durasteride is superior for preserving the hairline, and there are well published studies proving it. I just started using it on my cycle, however I have both on hand.
For a hair prevention cycle support, I suggest the following:
1) durasteride 2.5mg + finasteride 2.5mg per day
2) Minoxidil 5% 2x daily
3) Nizoral %2 check ebay, the bottle has Thai writing...can't get it in USA. Use this every other day.
4) Saw Palmetto, but this is usually in on-cycle support
5) Vit E supplement
You can also use laser treatments
Actually, almost none of the info that will be specific to him can be found on the web. It is almost 100% person dependent. He needs to actually use the product to know how it will work within his system and to see whether or not he will have any side effects. I experimented with .25 all the way to 1.25mg of finasteride over a period of 1.5 years and saw absolutely no side effects whatsoever. I know people that can sniff the tablet and not get a hard on. At the end of the day, there are more things to consider than DHT when talking about ED.
Dutasteride is shown to be more effective than Finasteride because it attacks both the type II and type I 5ar enzyme. Finasteride only attacks the type II enzyme. More inhibition of the reductase enzyme means lower DHT levels and this generally means more success in maintaining or growing new hair. More DHT inhibition can also mean more side effects (especially if you are prone to them).
1) That's a lot of 5ar inhibition for 500mg test/week. Way too much in my humble opinion.
3) 2% Nizoral can be ordered from Canada as it can be bought over the counter there.
4) Saw Palmetto is great. I have been using it for many years and it has been effective for me at slowing down the process. The Saw Palmetto in those cycle support supplements is almost useless. Most are underdosed and very few if any are standradized for the proper amount of active sterols and fatty acids. Get a stand-alone bottle of Saw Palmetto from a reputable source. It should be a standardized extract to a minimum of 85%. Take 160mg 2x a day. Pumpkin seed oil and nettle root have also shown some anecdotal promise.
One could also consider using a topical Sprinonolactone cream to help block DHT at the scalp. This is safer as it doesn't seem to have systemic side-effects like fin/duta. The only drawback is the smell.
