    Default 0.25mg EOD

    So given the state of where my hair has gotten, Im going to risk propecia, I mean if I get sides and they are noticeable, I will accept and move on, obviously my bodies not tuned for it.

    BUT, surely a low dose at semi-regular intervals would work? Opinions?

    There's a considerable amount of evidence regarding the efficacy of finasteride, with respect to biological gradient.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10495375 is one I found in about 15 seconds.

    Just go to pubmed and research the topic. You'll have to weed through studies involving rats, women, individual cases (yank, yank), and other studies utilizing questionable methods.

    Ultimately, if you value your penis over your hair, you'll prefer erring on the side of caution. But regardless, there's a reason the scientific community, while not perfect, has come to the consensus that 1mg/daily is the ideal bio gradient. All things to take into consideration. I'm interested in how others with experience and knowledge on this topic will respond to your thread though.

    Of course you're right and deviating from the prescribed dose could have all sorts of implications, but a lower dose could at least maintain what I have. I may order it and see, if worse comes to worse, Ill do a you, work out and rock on.

    Congrats on the potential job btw.

    If you go into it "expecting" sides you will get them - The mind is a powerful tool dude

    Simply introduce it gradually and based on experience im sure you'll be absolutely fine.
