Have you taken propecia before? What does the cycle look like, your age, etc. everyone is different. I hated the first few months on finasteride, but, now to tell the truth, i guess i have forgotten/gotten over the sides (if any). there is too much vague info i could give you, narrow your ? a bit

26 | 6'1", 167lbs | I have been taking Propecia for well over 3 years. I have absolutely no sides from Propecia.

Weeks 1-10: Test 250mg e4d
(custom injectable, 50%Eth/50%Cyp)

Weeks 1-15: Nolva 10mg ed
Weeks 1-15: Liquidex .25mg ed
Everyday: Propecia 1mg (happy w/ the results)

Weeks 12-15: Pct, Clomid (day one 300mgs, day two 200mgs, 100mgs for 10 days, then 50 mgs for another 10 days)

You should have no problems with gain hinderance or hairloss with what you have laid out

best of luck.

-but at 6'1" 167lbs, you are pretty underweight. if you still intend on running a cycle, make sure you are on top of your diet. Im sure you could keep gaining naturally for at least another 20lbs....

If you are anything like me adding 20lbs naturally is easier said than done. For me that would be a joke. lol But he's right you better eat like a fiend. Eat like that bag of tuna is is full of P***y. lol And I will try to find that article tomorrow if you PM me i'll send the article to you.

I read somewhere that Propecia, taken over time, will lower test levels. Is this right?

No, it'll simply reduce DHT levels. DHT, being very androgenic , can help with muscle hardness (like winny or proviron ), and it can also, along with test, keep your androgen:estrogen ratio higher to reduce potential for gyno. However, most people that use finasteride don't notice any difference other than at the hairline.

Will taking propecia while on deca cause a reverse effect on your haor by making it worse?

I don't think it will make you loose more hair. I have heard that you shouldn't take it with deca because it can screw your cycle up.

Nandrolone itself is a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor (although it yields DHN in the process). So less DHT is produced if nandrolone is present. Also, DHN is less androgenic than nandrolone and much less androgenic than DHT. So, finasteride with deca (nandrolone) should both work to reduce DHT levels, and since finasteride will inhibit 5a reductase, it'll also keep levels of DHN lower too.

I am under the impression that DHN is less androgenic than nandrolone .

You are right. That doesn't change the theory/mechanism of finasteride with nandrolone , but DHN is less androgenic than nandrolone. I'll correct that.
