Has anyone been on testosterone concurrently with finasteride or dutasteride? Results?

Not from experience, but I know a decent amount about the subject. if you use it in combo with dutasteride especially you should be good to go

all relative to how sensitive your follicles are to androgens, primarily DHT.

Iv'e been on 600mg test for close to 10 months straight, and haven't lost a single hair. Iv'e even taken dianabol at 50MG for 6 weeks straight and didn't even shed, had mild androgen activity, and the odd itch in my scalp but nothing alarming. Again, this is apparently notorious for eating up hair due to how androgenic the compound is.

A buddy of mine started diffusing all over from 500mg testosterone.

To many variables. Put it this way, if your male pattern baldness is not agressive, and prior to finasteride it receeded very slow then chances are if medication has maintained then you wont loose any additional hair. On the opposite side, if you shed, itch and are still actively receeding on finasteride, then I wouldnt touch steroids with a ten foot poll.

Everyone's different but I don't think high testosterone levels is good for hair. It does depend on your genetic sensitivity to androgens though. DHT is the worst culprit but I think test is at least partly damaging particularly to frontal and temple hair loss .

I'm on a lose dose of test 300mg per week - been a month now and I'm not sure if it's affecting my hair - you guys know how it is sometimes you look at your hair and think 'great' the regime is working and my hair looks good - then other weeks it looks crap . Probably psychological

I think the benefit to something like CB will that it will compete not just against DHT but also T which IMO should help it work better than propecia or anything that simply targets DHT and raises T indirectly

Just asking, what would happen to the DHT in the follicles that are free but can't stick to Telogen Effluvium androgen receptors??
Will their a feedback loop or something??

If you were on dutasteride you would have virtually no DHT in your system to attack your follicles. High testosterone is also likely not good for people who have aggressive balding so if you are one of those people you may need to combine dutasteride with something like RU58841 to block the androgen receptors in the scalp. I'm no expert/scientist though I'm just theorizing
