    I have scheduled an appt with a dermatologist to get a topical fin script but it's not until Feb 3rd.. UGH! I don't think I can afford to wait long.... Does anybody know of any peptide/research chem sites that sell liquid finasteride? I know of Minoxidil Max but I heard a bunch of shady...

    Test Prop @ 15mg ED/SQ vs Test Cyp @ 20mg ED/SQ... Results.....

    Today I reduced my Test Prop dose to approx. 8mg ed/sq (hard to be exact with those small lines on the insulin syringe.. lol)... but I think I am going to go back to Test Cyp as that should give me better stabilization and less drastic Peaks/Troughs as I get with Prop.... I'm thinking Test Cyp...

    Test Prop @ 15mg ED/SQ vs Test Cyp @ 20mg ED/SQ... Results.....

    Test Prop @ 15mg ED/SQ vs Test Cyp @ 20mg ED/SQ... Results.....

    My 10hr post injection results aren't too bad, assuming it didn't peak too much higher in the prior 10 hours (10-12 hours seems to be the documented peak times from my research).... I think Prop @ 8-10mg would be the ideal dose, but I'm also wondering to achieve more steady levels without huge...

    MPB and Finasteride (side effects/dosing theory)

    I was considering going the topical route, but I am worried about transfer to my wife and kids after rubbing in... figured super low dose oral route would be the way to go... but regarding my theory you have to admit it does make sense considering all factors... I am almost 100% sure that ED...

    MPB and Finasteride (side effects/dosing theory)

    If Finasteride has a cumulative effect then it wouldn't matter what dosage someone was taking as the finasteride would continue build up in the body to levels that would eventually cause side effects, it's just that a lower dose would take more time to achieve the negative side effects as...

    1-Test Cyp - amazing results (low shbg)

    The Brand name of Bupropion I am using (SOLCO from Walgreens) hasn't many good reviews that I have read, but then again it's subjective because people who do get good results probably don't bother to post how great it is because it was expected. Anyway, I been on 10 days now and haven't really...
