Hi Julie,
FYI, I always appreciate your posts.
I have tried Fin and Bicalutamide and Androcur. For both Bicalutamide and Androcur I find 25mg is enough. Or often taking 50 mg Androcur maybe every other day seems pretty good too. I usually include Fin along with Androcur or Bicalutamide. I have found anti-androgens very effective when my sex drive was ramping backup, it is a balancing act to not suppress my sex drive too much for me.
I didn't like Spiro very much with the side effects of Spiro. When I start back on HRT I usually take Anti-Androgens at first, and after a few weeks start tapering them off and just go with the E. Right now I am on a low dose of 2mg E daily dose with no anti-androgens, sometimes I use a gel instead of pill just to give my liver a break, but have stopped the anti-androgens for now since I seem to be doing Ok with just the E, my breast glands are nicely swollen and growing right now. I also often include Microgest 100mg (Progesterone) as well as E since I am interested in breast gland development.
If you wanted to experiment with Bicalutamide or Androcur, I would recommend 25mg at first, I either cut or just bite the tablets in half.
Androcur (CPA) has Progresterone effects as well that I am interested in
: "Through its action as a progestogen, CPA has been found to significantly increase prolactin secretion and to induce extensive lobuloalveolar development of the mammary glands of female rhesus macaques.[94] In accordance, a study found that CPA, in all cases, induced full lobuloalveolar development of the breasts in transgender women treated with the drug in combination with estrogen for a prolonged period of time.[95][96][97] Pregnancy-like breast hyperplasia was observed in two of the subjects.[97]".
