yeah, it's definitely a tough one as I had great results while I was on it for 2 1/2 years at 1mg/day. I didn't have sides while on it but when I got off it I did notice that I had morning erections again and higher libido (wasn't really aware of losing either while on it). But I got scared regarding the potential for long sides. I know it's just a potential but it would suck that I saved hair at the expense of some more important things. However, I'm almost 5 months off it and there are days I really want to get back on it (but the fear stops me). I did start Rogaine Foam a couple weeks ago so I'll see if that helps at all.
thanks.

honestly when it comes down to it, it has to be your decision, but there are millions of people on this drug and only about 1000 that "CLAIM" they have long term sides from it...that amount of people could have developed their sexual problems from many other things. I'm not saying it isn't propecia that caused them, but my doctor is on it and he said he believes it is safe enough that he would prescribe it to his own kids..that says something

What kind of blood test should we check before starting FIN?
Testosterone, DHT,
what more?

I think I remember reading something about Asian men having lower levels of Test/DHT than American/Europeon (on average, I know there are always exceptions). Maybe they don't need as high a dose? I don't know for sure, just a thought.
