    It's going to be difficult to cut Proscar into 1/8ths. You might want to begin treatment with Propecia.
    Indeed! I can easily do that and now that you mention the first-month vs. duration of the treatment difference (which certainly makes sense) I'll certainly do that, greatly increased cost notwithstanding-- but only for a month or so, so who cares, obviously.

    I'm assuming after that I'll try and gauge how much-- if any-- of the previously -experienced side-affects I have an then do either a half a a proscar every other day, or a quarter every other day, etc.

    Great to know that down the line even every third day is OK, as I'm hoping maybe even a half a 5mg every 3rd day would be enough for me to "lock in" what I have but -not- experience the rather unfortunate and pronounced side-affects that I've had in the past.
    I really want to be taking as little as possible in light of that experience but still prevent any more loss, hopefully there is an easily-achievable balance.
