cutting finpecia ?
I see a lot of talk about small dosage going from the 1mg to 0.5 how do you go about cutting it ? and how do you know its the right amount ? are sides usually a lot less with lower dosage ?

Some people use special pill cutters. I tried one and found that I prefer to use a scalpel blade. Any very fine, sharp blade will do the job.
There's no need to worry about any small variations in dosage that might occur as a result of one half being slightly larger than the other.
With the lower dose there is a reduced chance of experiencing side effects, or the side effects can be milder. That's if you experience any at all.

would you recommend starting at 0.5 ? ive been taking it now for just over a week & half ?

It's a dosage that many people take with success. You can always up the dosage back to 1mg at a later date.

i think it also depends on your height and body weight. i've been prescribed 1/3 of finasteride (5mg) by dr. bernstein.

will i see the same kind of results with 0.5 as 1mg ?

.5mg is in actual fact an appropriate amount to take in terms of fighting DHT as just as or nearly as effective.
Also see this chart to see difference in dosage and its effect on hair count
