Starting Avodart

[Clay]

but I'd be lying if I said I was anything but freighted now after sifting through the board. Anyone have any suggestions on how to battle the possible sexual/gyno side-effects?

I work out four days a week, I'm in (fairly) good shape and I've been steadily gaining mass for about three months or so. Bottomline, I'd like to continue with my gains.

Any input would be appreciated.

My suggestion to battle the side effects is to stay off the forums where all people do is complain about side effects,because if its in your head you will get them.

I completely agree. If you start the meds believing you will have side effects (which it already sounds like you do) then you are almost guaranteed to get them.

Deal with them IF you get them. Don't start the meds already thinking you will.

Also, since you seem to be very impressionable, stay away from these boards. It's your only chance for success.

But be sure to visit once in a while to let us know how your progress is going!

I started Dutas a little over 3 weeks ago, took 3 a day for the first 10 days as a loading dose and as of yet had no bad sides.

Loading dose? Can you explain why you did this?

 

[Patrick54]

Sure, by taking a loading dose of 1.5mgs you inhibit as much DHT in 10 days as it would take you 60 days to do taking .5 mgs a day. heres the chart I went by. it's the second one. http://www.regrowshair.com/non-surgical- ... ng-charts/

I dont believe you need a loading dose, I never did that and had very good success on dutasteride.

You also open yourself up to a greater chance of getting sides by taking such a large dose imo

 

[Patrick54]

No, you don't have to take a loading dose but for me the advantages I figured were worth it and even though I used 30 pills in 10 days they were blocking the same amount of DHT as if I would have taken 1 pill for 60 days so it was like getting a 50 day head start and a months free treatment. And I need all the help I can get. :doctor:
