I’ve been back on finasteride (5 months so far)

[Myboyblue13]

I’ve been on and off with finasteride and other compounds for the past decade. I‘ve been on sublingual finasteride for 5 months now at .25mg daily and 1ml minoxidil. It seems to be slowing down although the amount of hair on my head is a lot less than a year ago. Has anyone had success with such a low dose? I’ve also been using a ketoconazole shampoo for 10 months with a mint shampoo.

From memory, I believe it took me 7 months on 1.25mg finasteride pills daily to halt my hair loss. However side effects always scare me, I don’t think I had any side effects but that doesn’t stop me from worrying and taking precautions.

Any suggestions on how to make this a stronger but safe regiment?

I'm on 1mg every other day. So far no side effects. 1mg a day for the first two weeks was a bit of a libido killer, and now I don't have that issue.
