My Finasteride Story so far...

[Not giving up]

Des I doubt you check this much any more but I've been terrified of trying fin because of sides, but reading this has left me positive about giving your micro dose a go. I'm going to book a doctors appointment and see if I can't stop this blasted shedding. Thanks man, you're a hero!

Hi guys, just a quick update. I'm still taking 0.25mg TWICE A WEEK (Sat & Wed) and my hairline is still where it was back in July 2012 and lose less hair than my gf! LOL
No sides to report apart from reduced semen volume. Libido has been back for 2 years now. Micro-dosing is 100% effective and if you still can't tolerate it then try the micro-dose topical formula I posted instead.

Cheers,

Des.

Inteesting story, thanks for sharing.

Do you use name brand merck finasteride or generic? As a pharmacist, do you reckon there are any differences between the name brand and generic finasteride alternatives on the markets.

That's great news Des. I never did try it. Have got uro problem's and two specialist's told me to steer clear of Fin. Even so... They're not losing their hair....

Hi Desmond, hope i can get your answer. I tried 0.25, but my ithcing resumes 2-3 days after taking 0.25, so i dont understand how could you take 0.25 two times a week and be fine. I'm diffuse thinning btw

Hi guys,

Since I've been receiving so many emails and messages asking to see my results with low dose finasteride. Here you go. I'll let you guys judge the efficacy of micro-dosing

Cheers,

Awesome results.

I'm gonna ask again since you overlooked my question last time but do you use any specific brand of fin?

[Desmond84]

Hey sorry about that. I used Propecia the first 2 years and then switched to Apotex-Finasteride with no noticeable difference.

That's the only generic finasterie 1mg available in Australia AFAIK ☺

awesome results ! that's amazing
about a minox with finasteride 0,1%(1mg/ml) in it, would you use it twice daily?
thanks

0.1% Finasteride is a decent dose. I personally think using that with Minox ONCE DAILY is more than sufficient. I would titrate upwards after 6-8 months if results were unsatisfactory.

Minox does come with some cosmetic side effects so you want to use the least amount possible.

Thank you for your reply. Ive been using this topical foam combo twice a day for 3 weeks without any side effects. Im now looking forward for the regrowth. Do you think when I have regrowth I can decrease maybe to once daily to maintain? Or will hairs be” dose” dependant?

Fantastic results Desmond. Quite amazing really. And not many if any side effects?

Have you ever taken the recommended 1mg per day dosage? Is there a reason for not taking this recommended dosage? Thanks.

[InBeforeTheCure]

Wow, unbelievable results. You must have been balding very aggressively to have lost that much hair in only a couple of years too.

[Microdoser]

Incredible results desmond,
I have some questions though. Why did you choose .25 3 times a week as opposed to a lower dose every day? I started taking .05 everyday two weeks in order to achieve some consistency as knowing myself, I'd have a hard time remembering to do that every week. It'd be easier for me to just take it once a night. The itch is heavily reduced now since I've taken it and if there is an itch, usually I can just ignore it as opposed to compulsively scratch at it [don't get me wrong, i do give in occasionally ].
Long story short, what are the pros and cons [in terms of side effects and regrowth] of taking a dose such as .05 ED vs your regimen?
