So I bit the bullet and started finasteride at half-dose (0.5 mg daily). After day 2, my nipples were definitely sensitive (more like an aura around the nipple area, but no visible growth).
Day 3: similar, getting very excited about continuing this drug. no sexual side effects, but an aura around my areola.
Day 4: visible swelling and paranoia occurs. I thought no way - no way finasteride can wreak havoc this fast on my hormones for me to grow tits on day 4.
Day 5: Undoubtedly growing, with a sort of pulsing/tenderness around nipple area. it will randomly get erect and feel very "full". No lumps are felt, however.
So my questions are:
-has anyone else had this?? From my research it seems that many get tenderness but some go away and some become full fledged gyno.
-Would reducing the dose to 0.25 mg help? or even 0.125 mg?
-would topical finasteride have less of an effect of breast enlargement/tenderness?
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!! Please don't delete my post I am relying on you guys to help me make swift decisions.
