Who is taking (has been taking) finasteride with an estrogen blocker

[amsch]

Hi there.

I had nice results with finasteride but had to stop due to side effects. Is anyone taking finasteride while blocking his estrogen lvl's? If yes, for how long and with success? Is it safe for long-term?

Plase read my hormonal inbalance story while on finasteride here:
Would u guys recommend me that?

Wouldnt that be too much f*****g around with your hormones? I know people who use steroids use that stuff to kickstart there testosterone productions again,But they only use it for a few weeks.

This is actually an extremely good question which I brought up with some people in the know I got the 'transcript' here somewhere but basically DO NOT take an estrogen blocker indefinately that would cause problems for you, more so then b**ch tits lol.

The jist of the conversation was basically monitoring the pecs for any development in tissue... usually when you feel tissue under the nipple its a tell tell sign of gyno forming now this is when you take an estrogen blocker. As soon as you detect formation of tissue (try get it really early) begin taking the estrogen blocker if you start too late too much tissue would have been 'formed' and you'd need to remove it surgically.

You'd take the blocker for a week or two until estrogen is controlled ... do that whenever you feel that your nipples are changing basically then stop the estrogen blocker.

What? That's the worst advice ever. Do you actually research anything before you give "advice"?

If you have ever looked into TRT (testosterone replacement therapy), the 1st step they do before giving them test (whether it's transdermal or injectable) is to put them on a low dosage AI to see if it will bring up their test levels. If it works, they can be on a low dose AI indefinitely. There are many, many bodybuilders that stay on an AI + Selegiline indefinitely as well to modulate estrogen/prolactin ratios & to increase test levels.

The key to using an AI is to not overdo it. Your goal is not to completely erradicate estrogen, but simply to lower it somewhat. If it were me, I would take 1mg Anastrozole E3D. I used this exact regimen when I first started taking finasteride. Eventually, my body normalized and the libido problems went away, so I was only on Anastrozole for ~6 months. If you wanted, you could also try DIM for estrogen modulation. Never tried DIM, so I have no idea how well, if at all, it works.

You may also want to look into getting on something like Selegiline or Dostinex/Cabergoline. They all lower prolactin levels - if prolactin levels are high, it will inhibit sex drive and can even cause gyno. I took Selegiline for 100 days in 2007 (till it ran out), and loved the way it made me feel. Increased sex drive and better mood. You definitely need to read the drug interactions with Selegiline, because it's got a lot of em.

Only reason I stopped using Selegiline for a few months was because I wanted to try using Albuterol to lose weight...And Albuterol can not be used with Selegiline. In the last 2 weeks, I have started using Selegiline once again.

I am sorry I was just paraphrasing what was told to me in jist clearly it was incorrect. Thanks for that information I am going to research this further.

You say you begun using the Anas when you first started finasteride and then stopped when everything normalized how come you didn't develop gyno after you stop? Wouldn't the levels slowly rise after stopping Anastrzole?

Sorry for my arrogance

its a catch 22 estrogen protects the hairs from androgens like testerone and dht, so lowering it will remove some of this affect but to high estrogen lowers libido and makes body fatter in stomach area. The key is to find the right balance and not block to much estrogen because alot of anti estrogens are to strong.
