hair_tomorrow, what did you do about your gyno?
Well back in '99 or 2000, I saw a picture of me by the pool (after 8 months on 1mg proscar daily) - and I was shocked that all of a sudden I had gone from a flat-chested male to a male w/ boobs. I got off finasteride immediately. Never really had that lump in my breast - but definitely developed enlarged breasts. They grew so gradually over those 8 months that I really didn't notice - although I was experiencing the nipple burn.
I worked out, excersized - but the boobs remain.
5 years later and a lotta hair loss later, I'm back on a reduced finasteride dose and 1ml of arimedix (e-blocker) every other day. By week 6 the nipple burn returned. And I could swear I felt a lump. Dropped down to 1mg proscar every 3 days.
Stopped arimedix, and Just started nolvadex daily, and cranked the proscar back up to 1 mg every other day. If it all works out, I'll get off the nolvadex and back on arimedix by the end of the summer.
Unfortunately - I don't respond to any topicals - but had great regrowth from proscar. Unfortunately - I also experienced most of the negative sides one could experience. I lived w/ the sexual sides because my hair was regrowing. I didn't realize my breasts were growing too.
Oh - and I'm also on week 2 of a daily topical anti-fat cream. There's been at least 1 testimonial from some forum member somewhere that this stuff worked worked for him. So I'll stay on that for awhile too. Expensive and smells like super strong minty ben-gay.
(have I gone over the top yet?)
