Thoughts on taking alternating finasteride doses of 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg?

I've been taking 0.5 finasteride for the past month and a half but the horror stories regarding Reflex Hyperandrogenicity has frightened me. Also, assuming this regimen is viable, would this allow me greater room to up my dose if I feel I'm losing the effects?

It probably isn't really going to help you much, at that dose. If you're going to use doses that low, you probably should supplement it with regular strength Minoxidil. Even if you only plan on taking Minoxidil once a day.

Finasteride only reduces DHT by around seventy percent, when one milligram is taken daily. Lot's of men even use 125% (1.25 milligrams, Proscar five cut in quarters).

Not true. I have used .25 EOD and had GREAT regrowth.
Try it.

It could be you have good genes. And if you are, I'm happy for you.

Think about it. If half of my genes are for good hair (Full head), and
half are for baldness, and I think I'm going to be a Norwood 7 by 30 (because of a brother).

Of course, I'm going to surpass that goal.

At that rate, I could even claim pumpkin seeds cured my baldness (in theory). Even though it probably didn't.
