I’ve been reading that Fin upregulates the androgen receptors. Bear with me here. We’re taking fin, receptors are being upregulated, we suddenly come off, what happens? A surge of DHT, testostetone, hormones. This is why we feel horny as hell after cessation. This lasts about a week on average, then our androgen receptors decide to desensitize due to overexpression. Well I’m going back on Fin, 1Mg per day for 30 days and I’ll see what happens. I’ll be taking a cocktail of anabolic/androgenic hormones concurrently, and continuing through cessation. I hope to experience an upregulation of my androgen receptors, coupled with the hormones will maybe bring about a recovery.
I’ve always been curious to know what happens if you restart taking finasteride.
but as a shock of 1,000 volts, I was always afraid to try. I think it might be a good try, and might find a possible solution.
put diary entries here. good lucky!
how long did you stop fin? if longer, you must have big balls to restart! not literally 
I think that is a really bad idea. I crashed while on the drug. “Post” Fin is bullshit. The drug is fucking with your from the start. If you keep taking it you will just zombify yourself.
You’re a braver man than me ha!
That sounds like the craziest regime I’ve ever heard!
There’s the possibility that things get worse. In my case, I began to have problems, so I decided to stop to see if things would get better. What happened is that my problems got worse and worse once I stopped, so I decided to take the drug again, thinking it couldn’t be from it because I hadn’t been taking it for months. When I went back on the drug, things continued to go downward and it got to a point where the fatigue was so extreme I could hardly sit on a couch.
Really, you’ll be a bit of a guinea pig if you do it, but my impression is you won’t get benefits from it and you’re risking been worse off afterwards.
dudebro don’t do it … that’s the dumbest idea ever. I got fucked up while still on it.
If you do this, you will post a suicide message to here.
get your head checked
this will create a shockwave to your body again. You have to use it forever if you want a recovery… With trt of course.
I think its a good idea. I was talking on the phone with another member about this EXACT protocol recently. As far as a relapse, THIS time you will know what is happening to your body AND how to recover. The first time you crash is REALLY scary because you aren’t expecting it AND you don’t know what the hell is happening. You have the information advantage now…
Please post diaries…my hypothesis is that as you lower your DHT again your body will become more sensitive and a lot of the symptoms should go away.
Now - the tricky part if how to come off Fin. Let’s say you take Fin for a few weeks and you feel great(which I expect)…if you stop cold turkey you will likely experience a crash again because your DHT will come rushing back and your body will freak out(PFS). If you are smart about how you come off - and you seem like you’ve thought this through - this might be the cure, or something close to the cure. I was thinking something like this:
1st 3 weeks - 1 mg daily
2nd 3 weeks - .5 mg daily
3rd 3 weeks. - .25 mg daily
4th 3 weeks - .125 mg daily
5th 3 weeks - .0625mg daily
6th 3 weeks - .0375 mg daily
The hard part is going to be getting a consistent dose. A pharmacist might help you prepare the smaller amounts, I am not sure if a store bought pill cutter will do the trick…
Keep us posted…and I am expecting good news!
do you even know what you are talking about?
how do you know if your body will come sensitive agian (to dht?)?
It coulbe that what happened before… will happen again. but even worse… Probably the same will happen again, but worse.
I thought we all had concluded that finasteride is poison… i dont understand why people use it as a cure now.
Get your heads checked.
I am just applying what we know right now about PFS. Men with PFS have upregulated androgen receptors, thus they are hypersensitive to testosterone. Based on the research, if he lowers his DHT again by taking Fin, the body should/could adjust to the lowered amount. That’s why I am certain he will feel better almost immediately while on Fin.
Think about this…most men got worse when they [i]stopped[i] taking Fin. It wasn’t the Fin that actually poisoned us, it was the upsurge in DHT and our bodies reaction to that surge.
Here - he will be slowly raising his DHT back to normal levels - his experiment alone will tell us if the likely cause of PFS is the upsurge in DHT following cessation of the drug.
This is by far the best, most scientifically based protocol I’ve seen on here. So far as I know no one has yet tried taking Propecia AND weening off very slowly.
I applaud his courage, and am anxious to hear his results. It is likely he will crash again - but like I said - now that we know what the crash is and that its temporary, it won’t be as bad the second time around.
Good luck and keep us posted!
bluejaysfan already did this in his strange semi-religious belief that it will fix him and it made him doubly worse. He is right now nigh-recovered/recovered?.. with the methylation protocol. 
hint: this is THE worst/most insane idea, stop encouraging the idiot.
Adam, if we are hypersensitive to testosterone why would raising it via Propecia be a good idea?
Also, how would going through a second crash with knowledge be any easier? I haven’t seen any evidence of people doing anything during a crash that helps make it easier.
Dudebro, how long have you been off Fin? I wonder if an experiment like this should be tried by someone who has been off Fin for years with no improvements.
Just for the record, I didn’t get any benefit when I returned on it, just a further degradation of my state, that was already bad enough as it was. Don’t think it’s ethically right to encourage someone to make an experiment that will most likely turn out to be disastrous just to check a theory. Would you do it, Adam? I’m sure your response is no. It’s like people who say that the board of directors of Merck should go on fin for a month to show they stand by their product. Someone that’s encouraging this but wouldn’t do it himself has to be a little indifferent to what might happen to the other person.
I agree. It is insane to go back on it especially for people who have partially recovered.
I was like a zombie while on the drug, it took me a long time to recover mentally if I was to go back on it it could permanently destroy my mental health.
The only thing that will happen is that your already fucked 5AR will get fucked even more. Don’t even try this crazy idea!
I crashed on drug, and im fucked now. Dont even thin tthat. Dont do it.
me too,i crashed while on it,i tried going back on it some months after i crashed,i was thinking along the same lines as you,i think i got through half a box around 15 pills then come off again,i never felt anything for better or worse,i doubt i could of felt any worse at the time to be honest,dont do it…
