[QUOTE="broker, post: 133501, member: 25926"] My concern with long term hcg is the possibility of decentisization which is not proven but speculated. Further, i took hcg at 1000 iu per week( 500 iu 2x per week) for 6 weeks and coincidentaly got eppididimytis and a swolen prostate. I dont know what the actual cause was. The fact that hcg directly effects the testes leads me to be concerned. My theory on finasteride is using it to prevent dht from skyrocketing. A very small amount that keeps it ( maintains) within a normal range. The problem with my theory is if you can actually control dht with finasteride or just taking any amount of finasteride is enough to kill it. I suspect no because its available in 5mgs and 1mg which means the effects are dose dependant. I was thinking of taking .5mgs 3x per week and then getting tested for dht levels. Thats only 1.5 mgs per week. a cautionary thought is if the actual drug can somehow permanantly damage the 5ar enzyme or somehow damage the androgen receptor itself, i just dont know. Whats interesting is arimidex does exactly the same thing with estrogen as finasteride does to dht and yet no one ever has permanant issues with estrogen production after arimidex use. I realize they are two different drugs but they both prevent conversion at the respective enzymes. Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
