TOPIC: Alpha Blockers which do you use?

Dr Oates wrote: Hi Members,

I prescribe Prazosin (Minipress) as alpha blocker for shrinkage/Turtling. I start at 0.5mg night then morning. Next night go to 1mg and continue that twice a day. It comes in 1,2 an 5mg tablets with dose up to 40mg/day used.

Nobody has reported lightheadedness yet. I say not to use with viagra/Cialis and they can work together to drop blood pressure - an potentially \'catastrophically\'. But it is also in the drug advice that they can be used but 4 hrs apart( at least for Viagra).

I think it definitely works for quite a few guys.

When does this start in relation to a procedure? They start taking it the night before or the night of? Is this your standard regimen for all procedures?

just popped a flomax for a trial.

Hunkydory,

Are you using the anavar for collagen grwoth? I\'ve just ordered some equipoise (boldenone) to be used for my next PMMA session in 3 weeks time. Seems to increase synthesis severl times over.

I agree with the 200 remark, it\'s justit being safe for the long run. Were you advised to do this by a doctor? Better in the states I think. Deosn\'t exist in the uk.

You stay completely soft. It is not as powerful as Cialis which is more like getting a semi.

Do Alpha blockers give you a pernment semi or do they just make you hang longer and that you look completely soft?

I am trying to keep it at 150 - 200. I am doing Anavar as well for 2 months. I definitely feel better on a higher dose of test but plan on doing this for the long haul and the older you get the more sensitive to estrogen you become so would love to do this without Arimidex. I will probably settle in at 150 but enjoy the difference 200 makes too much.

@Dream, I don\'t want to give bad advice so I would google it -

Just out of interest Hunkydory, what is your dosage for trt?

I\'ve got low test just now due to coming off a steroid blast, I\'ve just gone back on a cruise dose until PMMA things are done. I\'m going for at least 150mg a week, thinking about 200mg just for a boost.

Test prop yesterday, can feel a slight uptick in mood and libido today i think.

Good stuff, looking foward to trying. thanksf or that.

Flomax works the day you take it so you should see benefits right away.

Just ordered some flomax. How long do they take to kick in?

I always buy Flomax in Mexico (2 month supply)- it is super cheap over the counter and it helps keep you longer while you are recovering. I think Flomax is meant for long term daily use but not entirely sure about that, so I would look that up.
Unrelated, but no entirely, I started Testosterone therapy 2 months ago and my Dick turtles about 80% less. I was not expecting that.

Have to be others that have used them, surely?

Thanks, Reklaw.
Have you used the drug yourself?

Yes, dream, it seems to cause relaxation of blood vessels leading to vasodilation. Is my understanding anyway

Terazosin

Alpha blocker avoids Turtling?
