Should I stop finasteride during deca?
- Thread starter Nixter
- Start date
could you give me an example cycle you've run with dosages? Ran anything else at the same time?
keep in mind I never run high doses of anything so a cycle for me is not a typical cycle for most. That being said I concentrate on my workout consistency and diet and in my 40's I am still getting stronger and in better condition.
I have been as high as 200 mg of deca/npp per wek but usually 100-150 mg of deca or NPP added to 100-150 mg of my TRT and I will gain 10 lbs - 15 lbs in a few months. Nandrolone is a wonderful compound for healing/growth but it gives me deca dick and it is not heart friendly to put it lightly so I will not run high doses ever. Even at 150 mg per week my sex drive is reduced and I need ED drugs which I don't with Primo/test enanthate. I don't run deca for more than a few months at a time and consider the compound an addition to help facilitate healing and nothing more. Again - I'm no spring chicken and my health is more important than trying to be the biggest guy in the room. That being said with a decent diet and consistent training and a small amount of gear I can easily get up to 230 but prefer to sit at 220 as my stomach is leaner and I am much more vascular.
If I did run high doses of deca/test - I would be 250 or more and I have no interest in being that heavy at my age.
I'm in a similar spot. 44, health is main concern. Also around 220 (though I'm 6'4) I got up to 240 at one point and just didn't feel good. I was think of running Deca for 10 weeks at 300mg on top of 150 TRT. After that I have some Primo to try out on top of TRT. How much Primo do you run on TRT?
I stopped Fina, started RU-58841, and will continue with the Nizoral throughout the Deca run

My 'trt' is 100 mg of test per week and the same for Primo (or 150). I am 6 feet tall so 220 is a good weight or a little lighter. The combo is great and doesn't mess up my blood or BP.
If I wasn't worried about long term health I would run low dose NPP or deca forever as literally nothing hurts. I know guys who have for years. Even my knee with a partially torn meniscus doesn't hurt. On top of the health concerns, it knocks my sex drive down and like I mentioned I need viagra. When I don't take it, I don't need it.
Depends on how your hair loss is with just test. If you lose hair on trt dose without fina then I’d recommend to continue to run it.
I dropped the fina during the deca. At test 150 and 300mg deca, I wasn't a fan of the sides though. Anorgasmia and it fucked with my sleep. Added the fina back and switched to 400mg test and 50mg TBol. Enjoying this much better. Sleep is better but still waking up a fair bit. I can't seem to stay asleep more than 3 or 4 hours in a row. I can usually get back to sleep though and get enough in total as long as I go to bed early enough.
I do similar now. I’m more hair and health conscious now watching my liver, kidneys and heart health.
When I blast I do 500 mg test and 25 mg tbol. I’ll run the tbol 7 weeks. I also use fina 1 mg daily. I smoke weed to help me sleep.
It’s dependant on the individual how much hair loss you will have. . Nandrolone does utilize the 5AR enzyme to convert to dihydronandrolone. It’s less androgenic then DHT but depends on how your body responds to more nandrolone in your system.
so depends how your body would react to it. I personally wouldn’t run propecia for anything other then testosterone and couple other mind steroids.
im not a fan of changing chemicals and there natural conversion in the body. Testosterone yea but the others are a guessing game. If you’re worried about hair loss still to mild doses

Interesting. Do you figure 25mg is doing much of anything? TBol is fairly mild, especially compared to 500mg test. Love weed but it gives me a hangover.
After having tried various compounds other than test over the last 4 years I think I'm going to stick to blasts with test only, I seen to tolerate it the best. Well maybe primo too, as I have some I haven't run yet. From everything I hear, I'm going to like it.
25 mg tbol is mild but it definately works. My strength, vascularity and overall body composition looks way better with it then just test. I also have no side effects other then slight BP increase.
Weed edibles give me hangover but smoking/vaping and tinctures dont
