    Default Taking the plunge; My Finasteride Progress

    After over a year of ambivalence I've decided to bite the bullet and take finasteride. I will take 0.25mg or 0.5mg per day (still undecided), I will be very weary of sides and discontinue should I encounter any (special attention will be paid to semen quality, I don't want to be infertile).

    Some additional details:


    The finasteride I'm taking is generic, by an indian company called "Genpharma"
    Bought from www.4RX.com (redirected to by gothair.co.uk)




    Age: 22
    NW: 1-1.5
    Condition: Thinning since 18, Shed a lot in the shower
    Sex drive: Low libido as no current girlfriend, ejaculation remains at once or twice a week.
    Penis size: (Only joking)

    Pics will be posted soon (looking for pics of me with short hair)


    I have some questions for those who have had 0 side effects, what time of day do you take the drug?

    Thanks and wish me luck!

    Day 12. I've been taking 0.5mg every other day. No sides whatsoever so far. Sometimes though I can feel movement in my testicals, but it could be a nocebo. Semen seems normal. Morning erections present.
