    Take Proscar when you are using heavy androgens, esp Testosterones and Tren . Keep the dose low as high is both unnecesary and will hender gains (even low doses results in less strength gains due to CNS non-stimulation from DHT). It starts woking as soon as you take it. Prolly 5mg EOD or every 3rd day is good. I wouldn't take more than 5mg/day unless you have big prostate/hairloss problems and/or your doctor recommends it.

    actually the half life dictates that it must be taken every day for hair loss 1 mg a day is good ...for prostate problems 5 mg a day ...the finasturide letroole combo is a great cheap product.

    .25mg ed of the ldex and 10 or 20mg nolva should be more than sufficient

    You dont want to take finastaride and Deca together, it will actually make you more likely to lose your hair!

    nolva won't do anything for bloat.
    THe Letro will boock the conversion to estrogen. Estrogen is also very hard on the hairline.

    This is a good thread and I like Mikes explanation as well. Proscar is medically prescribed for prostate enlargement at 5mgs ED. Finsiteride is prescribed at 1mg a day for Hairloss. 1 proscar pill a day is complete overkill for hairloss no to mention the gains that will be lost. I know this first hand b/c I was taking 1mg finisteride a day while cycling. I know my body very well and I wasnt getting any gains. The minute I dropped that finisteride my gains were coming strong.

    Its a rough call when knowing what to do in this situation. The only side I really have ever dealt with is hairloss and am very concerned. Right now I"m taking 500mgs of Saw Palmetto which was recommmended by a hair restoration clinic for hairloss. It seems to be working quite well but want to see what others are using.
    I was contemplating breaking about Proscar pill into several pieces and using it over the course of 5 days. That would make more sense financially. But no sure if it would be just as effective.

    I will let you know starting next week. I'm running deca + fina together. I'll keep you updated. I'm not prone to losing my hair either, but my crown has thinned out a little. No receding hair line though. I'm not going to have that happen at the age of 26.

    I'm about to start taking Proscar(finasteride) with my Test/EQ/Dbol cycle.
    I'll be taking it at 2.5mg/day and probably continue to take it for a long time. If you go to their website, you can read more on dosages and such.

    deca and finastride/ durastride?

    Any updates on the deca and finastride/ durastride cycle?
    I too will be starting a test with deca or EQ cycle soon, and would like to clear up this issue of mixing finastride/durastride with deca.

    I would like to take a test/ deca cycle - but I'm very concerned with hairloss and gyno. I just got rid of some lingering gyno with letro, that stuff worked amazing. I know 1 pump of AR's letro is equal to .25mg - so I built up from .25mg/ ED to 2.5 mg/ED. Stayed at that level for 4 days then tapered back down. Gyno is gone!

    What's the best advice if someone was prone to haiross and gyno and was taking a 500mg test/ 400mg deca cycle. Would you use nova or letro, armidex, proviron ? What levels would you take them at? And what about taking durastride with deca, or should you not take it at all bacause it will make hirloss worse?

    What would the results be if you Substituted EQ for the deca?

    please help with some good advice

    Deca is far more anabolic than androgenic and, when combined with finasteride, it becomes more androgenic.
