I was taking Avodart off and on for 10 years with no problem. Stopped for several months in 2016 and then when I restarted, had classic PFS symptoms. Two months ago I mixed one Avodart tab in a bottle of Minoxidil. I used that on my scalp and I pretty quickly had a good result. I felt more normal. My office looks out over the bay and I could immediatley see with clarity that didn't exist before (blurry vision dry eye being one of my symptoms but the decreased libido is the most troubling.) I decided to do this weekly. The second week was okay but I think the third time I used it, I felt more PFS. I am intrigued about possible using extremely low doses of Avodart. Any thoughts??

I don't know man......................
RU had no effect at all?
How long did you wait between ellaone and ru486?
What kind of doses?
Were ella's positives long-term?
I think we have better ways of fixing pfs now than getting back on the offending drug.

I took Ella 10mg daily for three days Feb1-3rd. Felt good. Better libido. Started Randro Feb14th because I felt benefit was fading. That seemed to briefly help and I definitely felt a much better effect than when I had previously tried Androhard several months ago. Took RU 26, 27,28th. 10mg do like a month later. I feel like I am trying anything to get a benefit. I restarted Randro yesterday but only plan to do for a couple days.

It is because finasteride acts like a protestin in the body. So when you replace the missing protestin you will feel OK again (I.e. going back on fIn). Deca is the same thing, deca is a progestin and it would reverse PFS symptoms, but all the progestins act as band aids because when you get off then you are back to baseline again. While you were on fin, it altered your body's progesterone and cortisol receptors so now when you come off it your body is not the same despite normal hormone levels.
