Try some L-Arginine, its available from most health suppliment shops. I take it now after reading about it the forums and now I feel it harder to keep it down rather than up sometimes. :lol: I find it best just to take it when you think you might need it, not necesseraly every day.

Hi mate, I started taking DIM as a supliment a while back to see if it helped and it did. Thing is I was taking the recomended daily dose and my sex drive returned but i started to lose the effectivness of finasteride and had a bed shed so i dropped DIM. Just last week I found just how low my sex...

Temples, Just wanted to mention something, When I started finasteride I started to notice i a swelling in my chest (man boobs) I thought I had gyno. I also still get that tingly feeling you mentioned. However, I started doing a little more excercise and try to watch what I eat, and the...

I'm still not sure if i have gyno but i have definatley had an increase in fat in my chest since starting finasteride (and i have been excercising more than ever ironically). I have bought a product called DIM (diindoylmethane) which is supposed to help reduce bad estrogen and promote good estrogen...

Yea thats a fair point. I just thought that finasteride caused a rise in estrogen levels generally, and gyno or no gyno, this product would help put the balance closer to the natural level. I will try and see the doctor about the situation, and see what he suggests. I think there was someone on...

BHD - I have seen it mentioned on other forums and if you do a search on google there is lots of information available on it. I understand what you are saying about natural not necessearily being safer, but all the documentation i have read so far seems to indicate that it is less risky than...

Have either of you had any thoughts on DIM? There is a natural health shop near me that sells 60 capsules for £15, so I am thinking of going to get some tomorrow. Reports say it may also lower the risk of developing prostate/breast cancer too and being a natural substance, there does not...

I am thinking if trying some DIM (diindolylmethane) capsules as i believe they can help lower the unwanted estrogen in the body. I have read that this substance is found naturaly in some vegetables, so i am willing to try it before going for any of the stronger drugs. BHD - Did you consider...

anyone?

BHD - How is your situation going are you on a reduced dosage of finasteride, or have you stopped all together? Also i forgot to ask, is gyno always painful? Although i think my pecks are swolen i have no pain at all?

ok, thanks for the help guys, i will keep an eye on things and let you know what the outcome is, either way.

ok thanks, I will stick with it and see how it goes is it possible to get a swelling in the chest without developing a lump?

do you think i am imagining things or is it likley? I really dont want to quit proscar now!

Before i start i would just like to say i used the "search" but couldnt find an answer to this. I have been on 1/4 proscar for nearly 2 months and after reading about the possiblity of developing gyno, i began to get concerned. I checked my pecs but cant find any lumps or pain at this...

Thats what i hoped to hear. So really the earlier i start treatment the better. Thanks for your help Axon, you have put my mind at rest :lol:
