I created a reply in another topic that I felt might be helpful to others using propecia.

Many of the side effects are caused by lowered testosterone levels, increased estrogen levels, or both. I address how you can solve these 2 issues in my reply to this topic.

ripple-effect said:You would have to use an aromatase(increases estrogen) inhibitor along with a SHBG(lowers free T) inhibitor.
Free Testosterone wants to become one of these 3 things when it is floating around in your body:
1.) DHT
2.) estradiol
3.) bind to SHBG(Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Since Propecia inhibits the production of DHT, the Free T will mainly only convert to estradiol(type of estrogen) or bind to SHBG. To prevent conversion of Free T into estradiol you would need to use an aromatase inhibitor. An effective natural aromatase inhibitor I would recommend is Grape Seed Extract. This should also help prevent some of the Propecia side effects such as gyno which is caused by increased estrogen levels. A potent brand of GSE I would recommend is Nature's Plus:

Seagate is another high quality brand I would recommend(I use this brand b/c they control all steps in the manufacturing process ensuring quality):

You also need to prevent Free T from binding to the SHBG. To accomplish this I would recommend increasing your protein intake and using Fish oil supplements. This should help prevent sexual dysfunction by increasing testosterone levels.
This should result in a greater increase of Free T in your system which has many great health benefits.
