My Finasteride Story so far...

[Notcoolanymore]

For the guys who are on the .25 mg twice a week regimen - what is the best way to get finasteride into such a small dose? Are you buying the 5 mg pills and then splitting them with a pill splitter? Or buying the 1 mg propecia?

I don't think it is possible to cut a 5mg pill into .25mg? If you plan on only using .25mg two times a week, go with name brand propecia. It may cost you $75 for 30 pills, but if my math is correct it would last about a year.

Well I can tell you that it still seems to be working for me. I was able to ween off minox and did not experience any major shedding. I did the same about 2 years ago when I was on minox alone and experienced tons of shedding.

At this very low dose , I am not growing back tons of hair but I am not losing it ether.

Will keep on like this and eventually may up dosage to see if I can get more regrowth.

He's around, I've requested updates several times, doesn't reply.. Which is not like Desmond usually.

Hey Desmond - just like to ask how your experience with Fin is going mate? Any updates? Cheers.

I want updates too! I´m going to meet a doc next week because of my low sex drive. The thing is that I´m really afraid that I have totally ruined my libido and thinking to put the propecia on the shelf for a while but I don´t want to lose anymore hair which have put me in a difficult situation.

Starting to see some very small hairs at front of hairline, mostly in the center. You can only see them under good lighting but they are there. Velus only but hopefully this is a positive sign of things to come

Nothing to really report in the crown, but that is ok as the first time I was on propecia, I got regrowth at the hairline first and crown took another 5 months or so before it started to respond.

Great news Desmond, glad it's panning out for you.

Mpb47 may I ask your age? 47 maybe?

48 Yes even some of us older guys want to keep their hair if they can, though I am at the point I can deal with it if propecia doesn't work for me.

[hiilikeyourbeard]

Desmond! dude that's awesome news. I'll be doing this now

Hey guys,

Today is exactly 12 MONTHS since I started taking 0.25 mg of Finasteride TWICE A WEEK

First off, ALL my sides have now disappeared! My Libido is now back to pre-fin which is truly unexpected and I have my morning wood again ...I think powering through the sides for 1 year may be the key for those of us that may experience minor sides! (Please note, if you suffer from gynecomastia on fin, don't power through it! That will only make things worse)....

Secondly, My hair loss has completely halted and I have had some regrowth in my temples!

__________________________________________________ _______________

This was a great learning curve for me. Guys if you really want to HALT your hairloss until we have better solutions, take 0.25 mg TWICE A WEEK and allow 12 months for the minor sides to disappear!

The lower dosing doesn't completely remove all of your DHT and your body can adjust much better in my opinion!

All the best guys and let me know if you need any advice

Cheers,

- Des

That's great news and what I was hoping to hear. On the same .25 2 times a week and so far so good at 2.5 months as of Saturday.

This is something other guys should try rather than doing nothing and it is good to hear you are having success!

Finasteride spray sounds like trouble if there's any woman around.

And thank you Desmond! If I ever decide to jump onto propecia, I'm gonna follow your routine

Same goes for sex without condom .....

I used 1mg first time and had sides over night major sides, so i decided I had to stop hairloss so I used 0.25mg finesteride spray from genhair worked awesome I had amazing results and sides I could cope with etc. until 7 months down the line I started losing hairs fast, two weeks later I jumped on 1mg propecia and had no sides and stopped hairloss again. So your body can become tolerant, I now use 1mg every other day for a year and I'm ok.
