Dutasteride, Nandrolone, and Hair Thinning

The only thing I can add is that dutasteride has a famously long half-life, taking up to six months to fully leave the system. If you’re worried about hair loss, using dutasteride (even topically) tends to be a net negative with Deca, unfortunately. But everyone’s different in how they respond.

I definitely think there's some truth to that. But like with most substances, it varies from person to person. About a year back, I was on Finasteride while doing a Test/NPP/DHB cycle. I thought the DHB was the culprit for my issues, even though it’s 5-alpha reduced, since I hadn’t faced this problem before with Test/NPP. The difference this time was that I was on Fin with Test/NPP/DHB. I experienced some shedding that concerned me, leading me to cut my cycle short. In hindsight, I think it was probably the combination of Fin with NPP. I’m actually about to start a Sust/NPP cycle in three weeks and plan to stop the Fin next week to let it clear my system. I’ll wait about two weeks at the end of my cycle for the NPP to leave my body before starting Fin again. Interestingly, I didn’t encounter this problem when I was on Test/TrenA and FIN.

That makes sense. I considered stopping before my next cycle as well, but I switched to dutasteride and found out it has a really long half-life compared to finasteride. So I’d likely need to revert back to finasteride several months in advance and then stop that before the cycle. But if I run high testosterone, I still have to worry about DHT. Unless nandrolone manages that? I’m still figuring it out. I’m definitely not ready to give up nandrolone, so I’m weighing the advantages and disadvantages. Thanks for your thoughts.
