My understanding of the THEORY is that DHT is involved in the anabolic processes. By suppressing DHT, you reduce your ability to build and replace muscle. This may be imperfect but sufficient.

Well that is for you to decide. If you really feel that your body is responding that acutely to finasteride, you can wait and see if this starts to resolve itself, or tank the finasteride.

Some folks respond acutely. You may be one.

craaaap. how many users of propecia do u reckon cant build muscle as well bcos of it? and is this a permanent effect. and in the 1st month is it the opposite..

so apparantly your body starts to "even out" or this will be at a constant?

I don't think there is ANY general agreement on this topic. Personally, I noticed some but minimal changes in bodyfat but I was able to largely negate this through changes in diet and workouts.

Some has not been so lucky, at least as reported on this website.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I follow a fairly low carb diet, which works very well for me (keeps bodyfat below 10%).

I do some rope skipping, bag work for cardio. Also walking.

Weights and isometrics for strength.
