Testosterone and side effects

[He-Bat]

does anyone know if men who have high testosterone are more or less likely to develope side effects from propecia?

In my opinion i believe the people who usually get side effects from finasteride have less DHT especially in cases where gyno is present. DHT protects men from developing gyno. I am of course just voiceing my opinion based oin logic and not fact.

Or it might be just how ensetive your system is to changes in the body, totally unrelated to baseline test/est/dht ratio.

Some people cant even get hit by a bee, ofc someone will get sides from inhibiting huge chunks of dht from the body

Probably. Finasteride should never be used during a BB's cycle, because it increases the risk of estrogen related side effects drastically. In worse cases of PFS, they usually end up with low testosterone level - just above the bottom of the normal range. Read about zossima in my thread.

Does exercise have anything to do with side effects?

No, but hormones express themselves during workout, and you burn fat, so if anything, it'll probably reduce the chance of side effects.

In my thirties, most of the signs

Hello everyone, I'm new around this place. I've been really searching for answers online for several hours now, continue to have some issues regarding testosterone levels. Allow me to let you know just a little bit about myself. I'm a thirty-three yr old man, and my health is actually presently really terrible. I was very careful with my meals and particularly committed to exercising. I mainly do weight training, but sprinkle in a little bit of cardio also. I've never before tried drugs, and I also don't drink that much either. In spite of this for a lot of my mature, I've dealt with the following symptoms: Intense low energy, often tired. I almost never have enough energy. REGARDLESS of plenty of sleeping. My brain doesn't often work well, like I'm in a fog. It is hard to focus even for a short period of time. Even though I'm pretty smart, it is difficult to get the words I mean to say. This really is irritating as I am aware I posses great potential, that the enthusiasm is simply not there. I frequently am pretty depressed/blue. I many times experience a background low level panic (primarily socially) for zero actual reason. It's depressing in a way I can't describe. I barely desire to have sex even a little bit. Even when there are sexy young girls all around me, but I just don't pay attention. Anytime I have intercourse, I have erection difficulties. It feels so incredibly hopeless. What things can I look into? My test levels are really low for my age (365 ng/dl from a lab test), but my doctor won't prescribe me testosterone.

Are you on finasteride? Get off first if you are. Read my post below this about my blood work on/after finasteride.

Secondly get these from GNC
DHEA
http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4193179&cp=3593185.12961113
GNC Sport. It has L Glutamine and Arginine
Zinc in a high does

DITCH COFFEE..... ZERO CAFFIENE!

Work out and soak in HOT HOT HOT baths

When my T went down to like 350 from finasteride I cleansed myself for a couple weeks+ and made sure to start eating more raw foods and take these. I always took them before so I thik it helped but I also think it helped bring me back to where I should be at near 600 and rising (fingers crossed)

Also I know this sounds weird but stimulate yourself. I personally beleive that helps A LOT. When I was having "cough" difficulties, I would find the time to pull up some video material courtesy of the WWW and get to business. Yourself helps in two ways. You have more variety to find what might get you going, and you dont have that tension and nervousness of not being able to perform with someone else. Once your back to good and comfortable then give being with someone else a try..... just try to get one out prior so you dont go quick wink wink nudge nudge lol.

As for high T, I personally believe yes its got a bigger chance for sides in time. I think without the DHT being converted and or used you eventually end up with more roaming T than needed and it causes an inevitable a roid crash which is what I felt like I had. Shrunken nuts and all.
For MONTHS I felt amazing and full of sex and energy. Then BAM it all reversed. It was like being on T boosters or roids then having your body shut down. No libido, ED, sucked up balls, ab and groin pain, prostate issues ETC ETC.
Do I Know for sure this is what it is, no BUT I have been around enough people in the gym to know how roids reacts to them. I also think this is why some people get wicked acne on finasteride.

Try it but monitor it with repeated bloodwork, doses and if anything happens stop.

GeorgeM, you may want to research clomid with low dose arimidex if you are dealing with low T issues. It was not clear from your post as to what may be causing it. Are you taking any medications? Do you have any other blood tests?
