Gradualism and side effects

[waynakyo]

I was thinking that some of us get even side effects from too much green tea while in Japan, they are used to it, they most likely don't.

Any of you know about, or tired, antiandrogen in a very GRADUAL approach. say starting with 0.05 for few weeks. Then upping to 0.1 for a mont hor so.. and gradually increasing it. Does this decreases the likelihood of side effects ?

Please let me know. I think this could be an interesting approach.

I am really seeing now the thinnest hairs on the front I have ever seen and I feel it is my last chance to fight it before I comletely lose them. YET for some reason. despite my very high T levels, I tend to be negatively affect by all drugs and supplements that decrease DHT ( had a bad experience with saw palmetto).

Thanks

Sounds like a good idea, however keep in mind Propecia does not work in a linear fashion. Even a miniscule amount is going to be have a significant effect. I seem to remember there is some evidence that 0.2mg is as effective a dose as 1mg for hair loss.

My guess would be that 0.1mg is going to be no less than a 50% decrease opposed to 1mg. Just as 1mg is not much different than 5mg.

Yes it is not linear, but i don't know how the curves of "hair" and "side effects" look like. Let's say they are the same, that is every tiny improvement in hair is accompanied by a worsening of the side effects. If so, then there could still be an advantage of taking very little, if say, a 0.05 mg stops sheds but cause very little decrease in libido. As long as my noodle is working, a bit of decrease of libido is only good for someone like me
