    Pure testosterone or DHEA worse?

    Any idea which would be more likely to cause shedding when on fin/nizoral, pure T or DHEA?

    Thinking a low dose of one to recover some libido. Thanks for your vote.

    Short answer: the propecia should block T and probably dhea mpb speedup though not sure about later.

    Long answer:

    Almost 2 years ago, my Dr put me on T. The stuff came with all kinds of warning information. prostate growth, cancer etc. Yet it said MPB was a normal and expected side effect of T. And sure enough within a few months mine seemed to speed up.

    Read up on some of the T boards and it was a common complaint. Some said that propecia did stop it. I went on propecia in July and so far so good, but I am on a low dose fwiw.

      You need to have your Testosterone levels checked before considering taking any supplemental Testosterone or DHEA.
