Take 1mg everyday and if you get sides, lower the dosage. Most of the posts I see on here about finasteride not working is when they take those mini doses, 1mg everyday is recommended. I've been on it for 2 months and have had no side effects, I can't grow much facial or body hair which apparently indicates naturally low DHT and even I haven't had sides.
Are you serious, looking at other peoples post on here, my hair looks so much better. Im curious are you saying that cause of my crown?
I get mine online from a registered online pharmacy, works out at about £12 a month for generic finasteride. It's hard to get a prescription in person in the UK, but if you're in the US you can probably get one.
I barely have any visible hairloss either but you need to get on finasteride as early as possible because there is no guarantee that it will regrow hair but it will most likely stop more hair falling out. If you don't want to get on finastride yet, you could monitor your hair over the next 6 months and if it gets a little worse, start treatments.
ohhh gotcha I was thinking about the same thing. Whats ur experience so far? any sides?
I have been on it for a little over 2 months, no side effects at all, I don't read about them. Side effects are real with any drug but I think a lot people scare themselves into imaginary side effects by reading stupid finasteride horror stories online.
yea I thought to. I have a consult with a Derm this week. So ill get on it. Do you see any noticeable positive effects on your hair?
Nothings changed, which is a good sign that its stopping or at least slowing the hair loss, I do have some small hairs at the hairline but it's hard to tell if that's regrowth or miniaturizing hairs, I'll know for sure around the 6 month to a year mark if it's working.
Look at the crown, the 4th pic is worrying.
I struggled big time with sides (mostly brain fog and mental issues) for years as to where I got off of it entirely and swore I would never get back on the “poison” again. Eventually, I caved and tweaked and tweaked and tweaked the dosage & frequency until I found what works for me. I only take .25mg 4 days a week rn and still have significant results from it. I think for me, the drug was staying in my system for much longer than most others, so it built up over time and that’s why I had my sides. Find what works for you if you do have sides — not everybody is built the same.
I saw this too, but I think you should pick the highest dose you can tolerate. I do .5mg and if I feel good after 2 months I'll move to 1mg.
