I’ve seen many people say this but fail to find any decent reseach behind it, I also fail to find any users supporting it. From what I’ve found it is all based on an old report from 2001 and discussions around it at that point.
The theory is that finateride will convert deca to DHT in stead of the less harmful DHN. But from what I can see either the research behind it is very simple or the report is overly simplified.

First of all, if you use Deca you will most likely use Testo as well as Deca stops your natural testosterone production. Finasteride will have positive effects on the testo part of your cycle.

Secondly, the half life of Deca is 15 days while half life of finasteride is 6 hours in adults. The recommended dosage of finasteride is 1mg five days a week, while for practical reasons most people take 1.25mg as the cheap pills come in 5mg and you split it in four. Research also show very limited difference in taking 0.2mg a day and 1mg.

So what I fail to understand is how this limited amount of finasteride with it’s very short half life makes such drastical changes and making Deca from one of the mildest to really horrible for your hair. Is it just a parrot that has been repeating the story for so long that people believe in it or is it truly bad? I struggle with believing in it to be honest.

Personally I’m prone MPB and seven weeks into
Dbol 30mg/day week 1-4
Deca 300mg/week 1-10
Testo E 500mg/week 1-12

I’ve been taking finasteride for years at 1.25mg/ 5 days a week, but reduced it a bit during my cycle. I did experience some shedding during the last week of Dbol, but after that I haven’t experienced any hair related side effects. I will probably stop with finasteride for two weeks while the deca concentration in my body is on top but except for that I plan on staying on it. The reason for this is that you can stop for shorter periods while on finasteride but yo shouldn’t stop for longer periods while you are on it.

Please enlighten me as to how staying on finasteride is so horrible but base it on own experiences or at least not the ONE report that is floating around the net. It’s now been talked about for 11 years. if it is truly that bad we should have hundreds of people that could confirm how bad it is, as we do with winny/dbol and mast.
