    Default Important read regarding propecia!

    Hey everyone, I've been surfing around this forum for a couple weeks now, finally decided to join. Anyway, I came across a very interesting read regarding different dosages of propecia and the effects on DHT levels.

    http://www.physics.upenn.edu/faculty.../propeciafda2/

    What I found pretty interesting was how taking even a 0.05 mg hit of propecia dropped scalp DHT levels down to the same level as higher dosages, but also reduced serum DHT by 50%. Looks like we need to find that balance between maximizing our serum DHT levels, and minimizing the scalp DHT levels. Also, I know there's another chart that's been going around with similar results....

    Anyway, what are your guys' opinions on taking 0.05 mg, or even 0.125 mg propecia every couple days? Though propecia's half life is short, from what I've read, it still takes a while for the 5AD to regenerate in your body, and for serum DHT to return to normal.
