Finasteride vs. Dutasteride on blast/cruise

John99Test · Mar 2, 2009

Ok I am currently on a cruise portion of TRT then going to blast with a 500mg per week cycle of Test Enanthate and a very low dose of 15-20mg of Dianabol per day for 4 weeks. I currently take 2.5mg of Finasteride a day and 0.5mg Arimidex EOD. My question is that I have noticed my hair thinning over the last year or so but at a VERY slow pace. Should I drop the finasteride and jump on Dutasteride? I have used it before at 0.5mg ED and started to get a lot of breast tenderness, so I stopped. I was wondering what you guys use out there either on TRT or on cycles. I don’t have a history of MPB but I have noticed thinning. I know it’s a losing battle but I would like to keep it as long as possible as I am only 27. Should I take the dutasteride EOD, or maybe twice a week? What about Finasteride all week and Dutasteride once a week? I am trying to find a good balance between keeping my hair, gaining muscle, and not growing breasts. It’s difficult.

By cruise portion I mean I take low dose year round and up the dose to 500mg twice a year.

I take one of ips finasterides everyday bro. I am in the same boat. 26 years old hair thinning a bit. Others don't notice but I def do and like you know I know its coming. I took duasteride for three months and it worked better than ips so far. I have never had prolbems with gyno so cant help you there bro.

How much dutasteride did you take when u were taking it those three months. Why did you stop the dutasteride and go back to finasteride. I am def not arguing that dutasteride is better than finasteride in keeping hair. It is def better however I think gyno can flare up way more on it and I dont like how it can mess with DHT in the brain. Finasteride has a good track record but I have to tell you if I lose a good amount even with the Finasteride I will hop back on the Finasteride. When do you take ur Finasteride by the way? Morning? Night?

I had found a site that I didnt have to have script for the duasteride out of canada. It worked damn well. These ones from IP dont seems to be doing as well. I was using rogaine also. Hair def thickened up. Now on IPs hasn't thickened one bit. I dont think taking it at morning or night matters.....im not saying its better the dusteride i am saying duasteride is at least better than IPs finasteride....
