Hey everyone. Im basiclly doing some research trying to figure out if Propecia and its sides are worth the hair regrowth. I was wondering if users that have also had blood tests, expereinced a reduction in testosterone. I know the main function is to stop the transformation of test to dht. DHT is 3xs more potent than regular test so it got me thinking. I work out quite often and am trying to GAIN weight and with an increase in estrogen and possibly a decrease in testosterone, it would become much more difficult. Any opinion is appreciated. Thanks

Don't be worried, its just a pill. If you stop taking it, sides will stop.

this is not right about Dutestride ( avodart ) becuase no one knows what would happen to your brain in long term use .

That's true, I was talking about finasteride.

Though I don't understand why someone would start with Duta, especially if their worried about sides. :)

Wait so duta can possibly mess with your brain but fina is proven not too? Or are both of them up in the air?

Finasteride tends to somewhat INCREASE testosterone levels a little, it doesn't normally decrease it.

finasteride has a 2% chance of you not getting a boner while on them and brain fog. Its very low risk

Duta, no one knows the long term effects. Its taken to be a last resort.
