Finesteride Double Dosage At Once Or Split Morning And Night

[Thinning Sucks]

I have been on Finasteride (split up 5mg tabs) since about 1999. I’m losing the battle with heavy diffuse all over and crown basically gone. The finasteride had helped maintain but it’s slowly getting worse this year and I need to try to thicken up. I know all about the dosage is optimized at 1mg studies, but I think I need to try another kick start method such as doubling the dose, which I have read can be effective for long term users. I use minoxidil 2x daily and nizoral 3 to 4x per week. I add a shot of essential oils in minoxidil just for the hell of it.

Question —is if you were doubling dose to 2.5mg would you take it at once in morning or split it to 1.25 morning and 1.25 night? ~6hrs in system maybe better 1 morning and 1 at night.

BTW - I’ve tried dutasteride and it gave me sides lower ab pain with just 1 a week keeping finasteride daily and really didn’t do much for me after at least 6 months, even tried topical in minoxidil and didn’t do anything (maybe even made things worse). RU @ 3.5g in minoxidil was also a waste $ as least for me using it for up to 2 years.....

Hey wow that’s a long time, Spencer Kobren from Bald-truth uses 5mg tablets without split EOD or third day if I am correct? I remember reading a post.

You by any chance done something different since losing ground? Change brand? Also who was your supplier for RU? Surely you would be better mixing in KB solution or Ethanol and alcohol and trying 5%.......?

Ok thanks....

RU I tried all the typical order brands Chemyo, France brand I can’t remember name now etc. Not much effect. Waste of money for me...‍

I started pumpkin seed pill 1000mg everyday - I hope no interaction with finasteride daily. This was the change also. I would hope this does not cause more hairloss.

Not sure what’s going on - got blood test and things look normal but iron sort of low low so started iron pills. Let’s see.,,I’ll try the 1/4 morning finasteride and one at night see how it goes for up to 4-6 months
