Yeah, I don't want to have to prepare it all of the time and worry about it not being good quality and keeping it cool in my dorm..If I don't do spiro I am looking into CB because it's supposed to be side effect free and better than fin and dut both

Could always try ID's solution, seems to be working well on hairsite.

[Cob984]

where can you get CB though?

I wouldn't reccommend this.

When I tried topical spiro I had worse sides than when I started on propecia.

The fact that some people get sides from topical spiro shows that some of it IS systemically absorbed. You are then essentially getting into your blood stream a medication that is used by transsexuals to feminize them!

My advice is come off propecia for a month until things get back to normal. Then consider restarting propecia on a much tinier doses taken intermittently rather than daily. For instance start off taking a few crumbs of it, wait 4 or 5 dys and take the same again. Then up it to taking an eighth of a tablet (by biting a bit off with you teeth) and do this every 3 or 4 days. Eventually progress up to a quarter of a tablet every 3 days. After 4 or 5 months see how you go from there.

This is what did when I started taking propecia and it allowed me to overcome most of my sides and benefit my hair. I have now been happily taking it for nearly a year and a half and my hair is looking much better

I herd another guy was biting a tiny bit off he got good results, I gain alot more weight with propecia than proscar as soon as I start propecia I gain weight in. A week, I herd propecia is dissolved in the stomach and proscar us dissolved in the intestine,Any way I think I might just bite the propecia tablet once a week any ideas?

I am taking anything between approximately 0.2mg to 0.7mg every 2 to 5 days.

I would say on average I am taking 0.3 or 0.4 of a 1mg tablet every 3 days.

Sometimes if I take too much I feel a little bit of sides creeping in so I then reduce my dosage and leave a few extra days in between taking it again.

This probably all sounds a bit crazy to anyone who doesn't get sides, but for someone like me who has experienced very real sides in the past, I think this is a great way to take the drug. It is all about experimenting with extremely low dosages of the drug spaced out numerous days in between, and then getting a feel for what your body can handle.

Probably better off exploring the PGD2 angle now.

Topical spiro will give you sides, google some experiences and see for yourself.

So the best way is to bite little bits of the tablet there is no other way to cut the pill in eight peices ? I best I could do was 4 with a cutter maybe 5

[GuyFromUK]

Yeah when I started on it I bit tiny bits of the corner and then didn't take any again for several days.

See how you feel after 3 or 4 days and then bite another tiny bit off the corner.

Keep doing this for a few weeks or months until you get an idea as to how much of it your body can tolerate.

If you take too much and notice some sides then don't take any again until the sides start going away, and then go back in with a lower dose.

This will benefit your hair

Hmm I had the impression it only stays in your system for less than a day. Wouldn't it be better (although impractical) to take an even tinier dose every day?

If you got side effects from Finasteride, it is a very safe bet that you are going get side effects from Spiro - in any form. Men should not even touch Spiro in any form - unless their lives depend on it.

I use topical spiro. I honestly can't tell you anything completely positive. I believe I lost ground on it when I used it solely with minox for a few months. This is actually what prompted me to get on fin and now duta. I have seen a few success stories though. Can't really hurt though, but it is pretty much the weakest topical DHT inhibitor from what I've read. You may want to look into experimentals.
