    Hey Philippe mind going into detail of what it was like coming off? I recently quit in a similar manner, only probably over a month and a half. I'm 3 weeks off now. I had no sides on but when I lowered my dosage from .25 to .015 I got some weird changes to my body, testicle ache, prostate pain, and a weird discomfort in the area near my lower abdominals above my junk. Also a loss of a little sensitivity to my member, that all cleared up in around 2 weeks and I lowered my dosage to 0.006 for about a week and a half with no changes, then quit all together. After I quit I had a little more ball ache then nothing for about a week now at the 3 week mark the past few days I've got that weird pain/discomfort above my junk below the abdominals. It's probably just my body still adjusting, but its got me a little concerned.

    Im not dissing Spencer or Spex, but I trust you guys aren't making these up. I guess the only way is to take it and see. I mean you guys who have had sides, would you advise 'braving it' or at the first sign get off it?

    How are you guys getting your dosages down to the third decimal place? Are you using some type of analytical balance?

    Tough to say. Some persist through perceived side effects, some lower dosage and continue treatment, others wean off. I would not, however, recommend stopping cold turkey if you experience sides.

    Its annoying, I have a prescription, but I've not touched it for about a week over sheer fear of sides. But you read posts like these and think..should I gamble? But then listen to Spencer and Spex...it's all fine.

    I guess I need a deep think as to how much I really want my hair. Where are my clippers...

    Yes, low libido, and testicle pain but it all went away a couple months after.

    Honestly Id recommend just not taking it small risk or no its not worth it man. I can't describe the fear and stress i've been going through getting off and every little hormonal hiccup, ball ache and now this weird discomfort making you think "OH SHIT, AM I SCREWED" when you have to face, and I mean really face the possibly that you killed your dick you realize hair is not something worth risking a healthy life for. And if you do decide to get on it I would quit if you got sides, waiting it out seems like a bad idea to me

    It's not exact, but you gauge it 1/4 of a pill of Propecia(I was on 1mg propecia) is .25 cut that in half and it's roughly 0.015 then in half again is roughly 0.06 i mean sure you aren't getting it exact but you do your best. Getting between 0.010 and 0.015 isn't that hard using 1mg pills. Now using 5mg generic, yeah probably a lot harder.

    Instead of cutting the pill 8+ times, you could crush, then dissolve the pill in ethanol and proportion the dosage out with a small graduated cylinder.
