Anyone switch from taking Finasteride every other day to daily?

[jakefodor]

Started Finasteride 9 or so months ago, taking it 3x a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). Saw/read somewhere that if you take Finasteride every other day you get 96% (or some really high number) of the benefits but reduces the side effects by 80% (don't quote me on the numbers). The source was pretty decent, maybe "The Hair Loss Show" on youtube.

Basically been taking it 3x a week because scarred of the side effects. Didn't really notice any side effects and did notice results, but wondering what taking it daily would do?

Anyone take it every other day and switch to daily and notice hair improvement? What about side-effects?

Just titrate your dosage upwards to the point where you actually feel sides, not fear feeling them. Again, I know people differ but I take 5mg daily of finasteride and .5mg daily of dutasteride and if I took them blind with water, I would have no idea whatsoever that I had taken finasteride because even the two together, every single day, have zero noticeable effects on me, including regrowth lol but I did have great maintenance on finasteride.
