    This would mean that Finasteride, rather than actually blocking the conversion of testosterone to dht, converts a certain percentage of testoserone to Estridol(estrogen), explaining the increase in estrogen while taking Fin. Estridol is the strongest of estrogens, and much stronger than Testosterone in men, explaining the loss of male characteristics, and gynomastia.

    There's also one other factor. I'm turning 27, and I in intend to use 0.5mg Finasteride just for maintenance until I'm say 37,cause by then I would have matured enough to not care about my hairline.

    I don't want to look like Zac Efron till I die, so if we take that into account can 0.5mg Fin ± Minoxidil get me through

    Has anyone had sever sides or crashing at 0.5mg?

    I still have some dull groin, testicular pain, but then again a lot of guys say it passes and they claim to have been on it for 2-3 year without any further side effects.

    And also when I stop, i'm not going to t quit cold turkey, I'm going to to wean it off, slowly perhaps over 5-6 months and record my progress

    It sounds really good and foolproof in my head, sadly I need some light at the end of the tunnel to follow through. If anyone had a positive experience using Fin and getting off it safely, I'd love to hear it

    And also my hairloss is not that severe, with some blow drying and styling I can really poof it up. Like they say, better prevent it than look for a cure (which in this case there is no cure)
