KÉRATENE Alphactive ® Retard

[AAsuited]

Diddy,

I have had hormone tests in the past while on propecia and everything was pretty normal. Altho right now is the time where the weight gain/flabiness is getting real bad. I see the wrinkling on the face.. less fresh/younger looking skin.. and other places on my body with lines/wrinkles/etc where there were none before. I wonder what a hormone test would reveal now, but don't have the insurance to do that anymore (it'd cost me alot more now).

I think water retention is a big possibility for a few reasons :

1) The areas that are "fatter" don't really look like normal weight.. it looks more like bloating.
2) I barely ever have those long urinations.. i barely urinate anymore it seems
3) When I exercise or do really active things, my entire shirt is wet.. drenched in sweat. Even my boxers are getting soaked sometimes.. and i'm not a big sweater to say the least.

Man, to be honest, without complete tests is a pure shot in the dark to analyze this effects, and, I saw you posted yesterday, you are loking for some medicine to reduce strogen levels...You should have a "clean" blood test before everything, another one taking fina, and a recent one (if you are) taking Kérastase, than you can start figuring things. Start to take things to control strogen levels without even know if your issues are caused by unbalance in your strogen levels, is, very risk to say the least...

If you cannot afford this tests right now, I would suggest quit your treatment to see if you get back to normal, an them start everything the way it should be, in any circunstance you should start to try balance your strogen levels without even know watch is going on with your hormones....

I can afford it

I can afford it what I want to know what my GP would say would he prescribe me something for high estrogen if that's the case and he knows propecia is doing it, do you think a GP would prescribe both ??

In this case it will depend on the level of the estrogen, if it's just the estrogen or other hormones are also with alterations and a lot of other factors, not forgetting also, how conservative your Dr. is with his protocols....But the most important you should have in mind is, "hormonal regulations" when you face more serious sides with 5ard inhibitors are not too simple to solve in most cases as some people claim.
Since you are facing some important sides, and have no idea how your hormonal balance is right now, you have some options like just run some blood tests then act, visit a Dr. and run clinical/blood tests or even suspend your treatment and see how your body responds if you don't wanna spend money/time with the above mentioned options, but, definitely the worst thing you can do is "guess" your estrogen is high and take medicine to try to control it...
good luck with your choice :-)

totally agree with you. I have seen many posts with no consistency because there is no monitoring of blood tests.

It has been 2 weeks since I upgraded my intake from one capsule a day to 2 capsules daily. The only side that I noticed is FATIGUE. When I was taking it once a day before bedtime I never felt any kind of fatigue and it was ZERO sides but with taking two capsules Im still fine but I feel like I want to take a nap in the afternoon and also want to go to bed earlier in the evening.

I will give it one more week, if the the fatigue sides don't go then I guess I will go back to one capsule a day better than nothing. This is my observation Guys.

Anyone wants to share his experience???

It does make you pretty tired - I had to take a break because I was waking up with the same fatigue levels I would generally feel late at night after a hard days work. I did notice far less hair fall though.

Yea I popped 2 the other day, i could barely leave my bed, let alone be productive,
Im starting a tough job soon and I might have to go EOD on this , even 1/day really tires me out

Yes, I experienced the same for 2-3 weeks. After that it was back to normal.

Has anyone actually had their blood tested to see if this works? I got my DHT tested this week with nothing in my system. Once these pills arrive I'll take for two weeks and re-test. I know finasteride worked for me because I had many blood tests to prove it. If this doesn't change my DHT, I'm calling this a scam.

Please post your results, i only have before levels, it is just way too expensive to test dht where i am at, its ridiculous and not feasible on a regular basis

Thank the heavens someone's used their initiative and got a blood test prior to taking these!

Thank you Ryan, I think you'll save everyone here a lot of time and hassle!

Awesome. God bless you dude. If you dont mind me asking, what's your current DHT?

I don't know yet, I haven't gotten the results back. I'll let you know.

Starting from tomorrow I am going back to my old dosage which is one capsule a day before bedtime. This will avoid me from fatigue and will still benefit me with some DHT blocking.
