Regular Member VICREP Posted March 31, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hey guys I had my DHT measure 7 months ago before star ting finasteride. It measure at 2.8 with a range of 0.7-3.1. I then started finasteride at 1.25mg and also have been taking arimidex 0.25mg twice a week. After 6 months on finasteride my DHT was still at 2.3. So it has only dropped ~ 20% Should dropping the estrogen blocker/aromataze inhibitor fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shacked Posted March 31, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) apparently combining the meds can increase DHT. **outside link removed by moderator** Edited March 31, 2014 by Future_HT_Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member VICREP Posted March 31, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 I saw that study but the dose of arimidex was the same as finasteride. That would be like me having 1mg of arimidex per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rootz Posted March 31, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 Some things to think about, What does the initial range of 0.7 - 3.1 mean? Was the same type of range analysis or whatever done on the follow up reading after 6 months? How many times did you measure your DHT before and after? Just once? Were the tests taken at the same time of day following similiar conditions? Were you on the 1.25mg Fin consistently every day? How sure are you that the Fin you're purchasing is in fact Fin?

Same ranges from same lab on both tests. Only tested once, before and during finasteride. Same time both tests. In the morning. Not sure on the conditions. Consistently on 1.25mg. Scripted from a local pharmacy so it's legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
