Can I Start Finasteride Again If I Stop For A Month?

[James C]

I want to see if finasteride is causing a side effect, so I plan to stop for a month to see if it gets any better. If it turns out finasteride is not causing this side effect, can I get back on it after a month or two of stopping?

One month is long to lose ground, what side effects are you experiencing?

I have an increase of eye floaters. I don’t know if it’s connected to finasteride or not.

Lol, oh dear Lord, Jesus Rosvellete Christ, I have my entire life looking for what do we call these amoeba, germs or bacteria that every now and then floats in our line of sight. Until just today at the age of 28. Someone has given these viruses a name "eye floaters" lol.

Depending upon your dosage just titrate downward but that is a weird "side".

I’m not sure if finasteride caused it but it was the latest thing I added to my regimen, so that’s why I wanna stop for a month to see. I was doing 1mg a day for a month then switched to 1mg three days a week, and a few weeks after I made that change is when it started.

That's the way to do it. If you stop multiple things, you can't tell but the same goes for adding them unless we do so one at a time.
