Hey guys,
Just wondering if any of you on here run Finasteride(Propecia) with your TRT? I started on Finasteride about 3 years ago for my hair loss. I was aware of the sides and had a great dermatologist who I trusted write me the script(wasn't going to risk non pharma Fin). The first side I noticed was that my estrogen was def rising quicker after my trt injections. I do 1/2cc Mon and Thurs(250mg enth total). I was getting all the high estro sides, feeling emotional listening to music or watching movies, sore joints, and itchy nips. Now before starting Fin, I would do my 250mg test and just take 1mg Adex capsule on Monday. No issues, whatsoever. Now, since starting Fin I cannot manage my Estradiol. I know, I know, get bloods, not so easy here in NS so I have to rely on the "Bro" method, i.e. going by feel. I have pharma Adex instead of capsules and I split the 1mg tab in half with a pill cutter. I've tried everything, including switching to Aromasin 12.5mg tabs because I've read it's not as strong. I've read page after page on when the best time to take the AI. The last two weeks I've tried taking the .5mg adex on Weds morning and Sat morning(so around 48hrs post injection). I keep detailed notes on my mood, libido, workouts. It seems Monday injection day, I'm full of energy, great mood and high libido after my shot. It's not until around 5pm Tuesday that my mood starts getting shitty, and the littlest things are getting on my nerves, followed by libido going to shit. I wake up Weds morning, eat breakfast, pop my 1/2 mg Adex and slowly my mood starts changing, but then an hour later it's as if I crash my estradiol to 0 and get all the low estro sides. Sorry for the long description guys but if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated!
