I know you people are going to think I am crazy, but In my first month on Propecia I gained 8-10 pounds of muscle at the gym. I have not done to much differently, I did add 5g of Glutamine a day but I dont think that is it. I am also allot more aggressive and easily agitated, you might say I am a real bastard now. My strength went way I up to, I wonder if this is going to continue, The most I have ever been able to get up to drug free and still be lean was 195- I am over 206 and gaining a pound a week. The strength is throught the roof also, I am 5'8" in height.

My quick temper and easy frustration lead me to believe it might be something with the Propecia- It took about three weeks on P before I really noticed the weight gain and attitude change. This happen to anyone else.

I noticed that as well. I was not lifting weights but I definetely noticed an increase in libido and testosterone my 1st month. Soon afterwards the effect will wane though. I experienced a major dropoff soo after the 1st month and now it has leveled off to where I was before. Many others experienced this as well..

I posted about the same thing back then. Read some of the responses.

Testosterone goes up during the first few weeks on Propecia. Totally expected. It will go down soon, so enjoy it while it lasts. Soon you will be an emotional blubbering feminine she-man

shedmaster, been on propecia a week now, just trying to gauge what my potential reactions may b..

how much of an increase did u experience? after a month, how bad was the loss of libido, r we talking mr limp dick or something? and how long before it waned off.

general question too, is it significantly easier to build muscle on ur 1st month on propecia? if so im definitely down the gym at least 4 times a week for a month..

My weight now is 224!!! I have NEVER been this high in my life!!! I have now put on almost 12-14 pounds while on Propecia. My freind just stared at me quietly for a mintue when he saw the numbers on the digi scale. He was like, "What the hell are you eating man?" haha

Yes I have also noticed some mood swings and my strength has gone up, however now Im noticing that its starting to dip up and down something bad. Maybe its because Im finally starting to level off hormonally??

Hopefully you wont get the giant increase in zits like I did around the the 3rd month.

HairLossTalk.com, its been taking awhile for things to "normalize" with me. I think it might vary from person to person, as I know that this has been going on for a few months and not just a few weeks. Anyway, enjoy your new found strength and size. :lol:

well, I didn't go around trying to beat everyone up because of the testosterone but it was certainly significant enough to notice a increase in libido and general feeling of health. The dropoff left me feeling tired, lethargic and a loss of libido for the most part. Not a complete loss but enough to feel less then wholesome. I was more concerned about the overall crappy feeling that had me convinced that my cheap indian finasteride had contaminants (sp?) making me feel this way. A couple weeks later, I was fine.

I would say it would be significantly easier to build some muscle becuase of the increase in testosterone. This effect will dissipate though.

Thats interesting HairLossTalk.com but I believe everyone is different, it could happen but I am hopeing that I do not experience a drop in Libido, I know a bunch of guys here like Stingray never had a drop. I am and always was horny as f***, I could get layed three times in a row and then still be looking to screw another women- that type of libido has been a drag and almost makes me feel like a sex fiend, thats all I think about.

We shall see if it levels out, I do expect it to, but my particular body is quite resilent and it should just return to my normal horny self as opposed to the super Horny toad I am now. It would be so cool if I were able to gain the 1 to 2 pounds of muscle a week for a long while.

I have always been a somewhat hot headed Italian but this stuff makes me wanna throw people threw windows and punch their teeth out for cutting me off in traffic.

So now your an Italian? Geez dude, start being more consistent with your posts, so far you have been a white guy, Mexican, black dude and now an Italian.

Not to mention other things, but let's start with clearing up your race at least. :roll:

I'm sure you've seen some results, but it is impossible to build that much muscle in that amount of time.

yeah can't be 8-10 pounds muscle, not possible. 1lb muscle = 3500 calories to generate. Your eating habits would have to have drastically changed during that first 4 weeks. (like 1000 calories at least above maintenance levels) Probably a lot of water, but i do not doubt you gained muscle. Around 3rd month of propecia i was definately getting some unusually crazy lifts, which then went away later, probably due to test levels aromatizing to estrogen.
I too gained about 10 pounds in the past 6months, probably 4 pounds muscle, 6 pounds fat (dirty bulk, bf% went up 1%)

So propecia can make you get bigger if you lift? What about after a while on propecia would it be harder to gain wieght or easier?

Also can someone please explain to me what happens while your on propecia?

The first month you should have increased testostorone and then after that your testostorone should be more near the normal level? Please explain.

Cassin my father is Italian and my mother is African American don't know where the Mexican you mentioned came from, you obviously have me confused with someone else. My ethnicity does wonders for my hypertension though. :freaked:

I dont believe it is inconsistency, as you have just proved you cannot even prove your statement that I said I was a Mexican- Your just another balding jagoff with an attitude. Get real and state the facts Ca**h**

Could you play that violin if it was shoved up your *** sideways??? Maybe we should get together and talk about it?- I will be in Houston next week, PM your address.

10 pounds of MUSCLE isnt possible but gaining that much WIEGHT isnt hard to do. I know first hand as my bodyweight has jumped dramatically in the last few months. It seems to have stabilized lately.

HOWEVER, on anabolic steroids I have put on 10 pounds or more of LEAN mass on a 8 week cycle.

lol

It, as well as other odd posts of yours, was one of your many attempts of yours to brag about about how many women you "bang" and how big your dingus is. I am not gonna waste the time going through all of your posts to pick them out. You have probably edited a bunch of them by now anyway to hide them.

All I am saying is chill out trying to impress people on FREAKING HAIRLOSS DISCUSSION FORUM!!!!!!!
