Half of those side effects don’t even make sense, CPA doesn’t lead to gynecomastia or feminisation since it lowers both testosterone and estrogen. Otherwise, those other side effects are typical to androgen deprivation therapy; he could combine bicalutamide and CPA avoid almost all of those.

You wanna call that cope, yet you think Zix is working for you?
Yeah I’m pretty knowledgable on the whole subject. I’m a bodybuilder myself - although don’t use androgens obviously.
I’ve noticed on propecia help people have tried TRT but hasn’t helped. I suspect finasteride has fucked their aromatase response and so taking test won’t actually benefit as the T:E ratio is still out and they need adex to balance it along with T. Crucially though if sides are neurosteroid related then proviron is a must to recover GABA . Problem being though that with proviron being basically synthetic DHT you can wave goodbye to hair.
I’ve even known girls who have taken the pill and fucked them up big time. I think any hormonal drug has the potential to through people’s homeostasis out of whack and really f*** them up .
On the note of people not running PCT after a cycle - absolutely. I’ve know a stupid guy who came off a cycle of just test after 16 weeks, didn’t run any PCT and apart from the no libido and ED , he was such an emotional mess he couldn’t get out of bed in the morning.
Doesnt TRT produce more DHT? and then so making me lose hair which is going around in circles?

Doesnt finasteride block dht. Why the decrease in testosterone?

finasteride does increase T by inhibiting it from coverting to DHT. It doesn't lead to a decreased T.

Why do people have less semen on finasteride. Shouldnt it be more?

DHT is 5x stronger than T. Sometimes, the body cannot compensate for the loss of DHT due to finasteride with T. All of which leads to lower libido and watery semen.

Thanks for the clarification man. I guess its all about finding the right balance for the body. Dht as low as possible but still healthy for the individual with normal semen and normal libido. People can only experiment for themselves.

Right. Although to be honnest, the sides for finasteride are low. Most can handle finasteride with no/minimal non-bothering side effects. There is alot of fearmongering scares about finasteride is all im gonna say.
Like who?
yes you would lose more hair. The idea if people insist on using finasteride is to keep everything else as close to their homeostatic baseline as possible . However if you dont have baseline bloods its impossible to know what you're aiming for.
Yeah i can imagine DHT gel working because it wouldn't mess with E - where as using T would increase E as well if not managed.
HCG would likely allow for a better recovery as its more dose responsive whilst Clomid would be a milder response. HCG is more 'downstream' as its very similar to LH in its function whilst Clomid binds to E receptors which in turn causes an increase in LH.
Currently the forum member Hemingway (who has made posts about proviron use) is experimenting with things and from first hand experience will likely write a post for PFS recovery - however obviously people shouldn't expect it to be hair friendly.
Long term it could cause a decrease in T if you have a ton of aromatase because the ever increasing E would slowly suppress T production.

That's false. For Estrogen to silence Testosterone, E have to be on very high levels of 250 pg/ml at least. Estrogen is weaker than Testosterone if both are in same levels. Even 100 ng/dl T (which is abnormally low for males) would inhibit E to some extent. That's why transwomen are quick to reduce their T levels using AAs to castrate or low female levels before raising their E, to halt any further masculinizations and let E do its work when raised.

With all due respect, why take Zix when you can just take Zinc and Vitamin B6 orally and have it benefit your whole body/health, including hair. What's the difference between high dose Zinc + B6 and Zix ??
That same person who most likely got his progress due to needling? It has a low rate of success compared to finasteride, and finasteride isn’t even that effective.

Depends. It can show in like 2 months , or until a year has passed. Either way, i see saving hair more important than mere slight drop in libido or even sperm quantity. You don't see women complaining about semen textures lmao.
