yes. as a beginner, you might be better off with lower dosage. a number of study suggested that 0.2mg work almost as well as 1mg. so if you take 0.6mg might be a good trade off.

if i have this information while i started propecia, i will have started with 0.5mg.

here a link from regrowth forums. ignore the topic and read some of the link posted in that thread.

i had sever mood swings, watery semen, loss of libido, tired and foggy feeling. but maybe it was cause im kinda the type of person that drinks no caffine, alcohol, drugs(not even for headaches) i put nothing in my body so maybe i am alittle more sesitive than th e average person. :roll: but the .6 im on now is much better than the 1.25 :D

Rubbish. The dose of Finasteride is 1mg. Not 0.5mg. Not 2mg. For god sake this has been researched and trialed by the FDA. What is it with you people who suddenly think you know better than the largest and most respected drug regulatory body in the world. 1mg of Finasteride is the most effective dose producing the least side effects, Merck poured money time and effort into establishing this fact. Look through this forum, and I guarantee that the people who are moaning about sides and lack of results are the people who pissed around with the dosage.
1mg of Finasteride daily = Lots of hair :)
f*****g around with dosage = Baldness and sides :(

Exactly. Nothing is more telling than actual experience.

While myself, I've been on Finasteride for more than three years. 1st year was 1mg, 2nd year (first six months) .25mg, and .5mg in the remaining time. Also, in the last three months, I added Minoxidil to the process. Incidentally, looking back at pictures, I actually have a more thick and fuller head of hair now than I did in my early twenties. So I must be doing something right.

I also experienced far more side effects on 1mg than on .5mg. There you go.

Unlike you Ive done research and LISTENED to advice given to me, rather than ignore all favorable evidence in favor of my own deluded paranoia.

No need to be confrontational. We've all done the research and are doing our best at being well-informed, otherwise we wouldn't currently be here.

There also have been plenty of studies performed showing just a few percentage points difference between 1mg and .2mg. For you that might be too large an amount, for me it's not. Everyone's different.

the early dosage test have shown that 0.2mg is almost as good as 1mg. they must be stupid!!! it only almost as good and how dare they suggest anything lower then 1mg!!! i believe that 1mg is the choice because it optimized dosage. the rest of the people who doubt so must be wrong and stupid.

the same question is raise to mercks. and they reply that 1mg lower DHT scalp serum by 7.3% more than 0.2mg. so there is no doubt that everyone should take 1mg. 5 times the dosage for 7.3% improvement!!! oh my God!!! mercks is right!!! those suggested lower dosage is wrong and stupid for not listening to them. can't believe stupid people who don't listen to them. they should be burn in hell.

people here experiment with their treatment all the time. that why they are here. so if there is some indication that 0.2mg might work, they should not take anything lower than it too!!! because the drug company making big money is always right and the rest of us is wrong. stupid us!!! now people, get off the forums and take your propecia once a day and 90% of us will never lose any hair even after 5years!!! only 2% are loser who will experience side effect. the rest of the 98% is only imagine things if they feel any side effect as mercks is always right. no questioning allow here!!!

according to your logic, except minoxidil and propecia which is approve by FDA, rest is all rubbish!!! there is nothing else worth trying!!! so guys, throw away, your nizoral, spironolactone, azelaic acid, zix, dutasteride, ozbrew, etc!!! those stuffs is evil!!! if you are getting results from these rubbish, it only your imagination!!! believe in FDA approved only!!! glory to FDA!!!

i am very sorry to suggest that anything lower than 1mg might work. i will repent and take only 1mg from now on until the end of my life. and the rest, you better follow. or you will find yourself losing all your hair. those of you who are still losing hair while taking 1mg, most likely you are in the 10% group that does not reponse to propecia or you are a loser that imagine things. you can believe in me as what i said is approve by FDA and they are the absolute truth.

Amen.
