    I haven't noticed anything while on fin, but when taking dut I find I loose weight. This usually happens starting after about a month on. I'm not sure by what mechanism it would cause weight loss though. I used to worry that It might cause weight gain as it suppresses androgens, but I've only experienced the opposite. I do however worry that the weight loss might be do to loosing muscle mass, seeing as dut affects testosterone and DHT.

        This weight gain stuff sounds weird. Do you guys work out or do any form of exercise? Weight gain is part of age, especially if you don't even try to stay fit.

        If you are young, and work out, and are gaining weight from fin, then i'd believe you.

          My doctor scared me when he said sides of armirdex on males is thyroid cancer I'm not going to risk armirdex, I'm going to try taking fin every two weeks , so one week on I'll take it 3 times, one week nothing and so on,I'll still gain weight but not as much,should be able to keep my hair

            Yes it's called quitting.

            I workout 5 days a week and was in the best shape in my life prior to FIN. Drug literally ruined my body in the 1 year I was on it. I actually tried to improve my diet and incorporate more cardio during this stretch because I blamed it on age.

            Well, I quit after other serious sides arose and sure enough all the excess fat and weight dropped within months. Nothing was changed from a diet or workout perspective. Fin without a doubt can cause weight gain.
