    drop the dbol thats your problem. if you are likely candidate for mpb then dbol is not in the cards for you

    From what i read in the medical literature,fina doesnt completely stop the conversion of test to DHT it only stops it to about 70%. If you take a high amount of test it could be a problem.

    30 days is not long enough. It takes 6months to a year to start seeing slow results. I have been taking it for 6 months now and can say my hair looks more full. 1mg is enough for fina to work but with a cycle you might want to step it up. I take the generic wich comes in a small 5mg pill and split that in half making it 2.5mg and lasting me 2months for only $10. At 5 mg i think its suppost to reduce prostate cancer. Be patient and keep taking it.

    I agree, I have been on propecia for about 7 years it can take 6-12 months to see results. I took before pics, 6 months pics, and 12 month pics and its a hug difference

    I have been shaving my head for years.

    My point here is that, when I started doing that, my hair stopped falling out.

    The irony....

    Yes, Rana is correct.

    It does take awile from what my med book says.

    best

    It takes a bit to kick in but gear will make it worse. The shedding is from the gear not the fin. I too would drop the dbol , also here is my hairloss regiment:

    Dutasteride (much better than fine) 2.5mg ED (yes that dose is totally fine, some run .5mg ED but the higher dose is need to get SCALP DHT down)

    Nizoral shampoo once a day

    Siro 5% topical ED

    That is the best thing you can do other than shave your head if you want to run gear. Also search hair friendly cycles. I have MPB and have run lots of test and VAR without a problem.

    I dont understand the question? You quoted what i said is the best regiment for hairloss. I was able to run 500mg of test without hairloss when i was on the above regiment. Also if you have your PCT drugs you can just stop your cycle. You should always have EVERYTHING you need for your cycle, estrogen control, hairloss, and PCT before you start anything.



    - 2JZ - it takes long time for the body to clear Fin or dutas out of the system. even is you stop suddenly you arent going to see much hairloss for a while longer. If i remember correctly it takes several months of dutas use to get stable low levels of DHT.

    Why did you stop taking it?

    Im still on cycle I just stopped the dbol and my hairloss has slowed.. And I do have everything, pct, fina, support supps, this isnt my first cycle bro i know what im doing. Also, in a study it states that after 14 days of fina 70% of dht has been removed from the scalp..
