    You also have shrinkage on Ker cob yes? And it corrects itself does it when you quit?

    It does, i got off it for 5-6 days and already my hair started looking crappier,
    I was taking 1 tablet every 1.5 days so that was probably not enough and it was just slowing the slide but still giving me sides, i think at the recommended dosage of 2 or even 1/day it would probably keep hair in check

    Thumbs up

    Desmond, I am glad that you shared your story about getting sides, fighting through it, and eventually beating the battle. That is a great experience that you shared. So many guys get scared and quit but you fought through it and dominated finasteride and I am glad to hear everything is fine while using fin. Maybe you will inspire other sufferers who are afraid of fin sides.

    Always interested in hearing about people who got gyno from fin since I did get puffy nipples/increased fat there and it was really my only major side effect. Not sure if it was glandular though. How long into fin did you get it? Did you notice it quickly enough to stop? Have you thought about trying a lower dosage, more spread apart so you get some benefit possibly but without the gyno? Mine started to show up at the four month period, thanks in advance for any answers.

    Desmond, how are you managing to cut up 1mg down to 0.25mg? The tablets look so small, don't they disintegrate? Are you using generic Fin, or Merck? Thanks.

    Hey JCM

    Go to your local Pharmacy and ask for a tablet cutter...look at the range and get the more expensive one. Trust me...it's worth every dollar...(it should be around $6-$7)

    Also, ask them for a little 10mL amber bottle to store your tablets once you cut them...

    Always only cut up 1 tablet into 4 quarters and keep those 4 pieces in the bottle...don't do the whole pack in one go! It might lose its efficacy...

    Hope that helps

    So...I was on fin 1mg every day 10 months ago for 3 months and stopped.
    It didn't affect my libido at all, but it did do a nice job in the shrinkage subject, if you know what I mean. It had an effect on shrinking my little friend.
    So...The question is, do you think it is something that can go away after some time?
    I've tried so many things since then but we all know that everything, maybe except of RU, is bullshit.
    Maybe 5 out of 100 things that are being sold can help, WITH fin or RU, but not alone. Impossible. Or possible for a few people. Anyway too rare.

    Right now I have what seems like a full head of hair, just for everyone to understand, some girl in my work told me that I remind her of Jim Morrison.
    For those of you who know who he is and how he looked like, I was all like "THANK YOU MADAM! (just dont touch my hairline, or I'll look like Jim Temple-son)"
    I'm heading into NW3 too fast these days, and I just have no choice.
    If I'm bald I look like crap cause I have small head, if I have hair I look like an actor (Or a singer, whatever).

    Desmond, waiting for your reply, and thank you again.
    Hey Longwayhome

    Thanks for the kind words brother...with regards to shrinkage, that does happen and it is related to both the sudden change in prostate size and lack of morning wood...

    Same thing happens when ppl undergo prostectomy (esp., TURP operations)...these effects are temporary and only last between 6-12 months...

    To prevent fibrosis, try and keep it erect for 30 minutes to 1 hour by watching some of your favourite movies to mimic the effects of morning wood...Once you go past the 12 month mark, I doubt you would have any more problems...

    With patients that undergo prostate operations, doctors generally prescribe Cialis 5mg once daily for 6-12 months to ensure adequate blood flow till the body recaliberates itself...

    Just as your semen volume returns to normal after a while, you can be sure the shrinkage will too...for most ppl anyways (there are always exceptions as we've seen the poor souls @ PropeciaHelp)...

    Good luck brother...

    Also, if you want check out my new thread about a german topical that has the same mechanism of action as Finasteride without the sides...very interesting stuff:
