Just ordered my 1st batch of proscar

[Chorizo]

Hi,
Having browsed this forum for about a week and getting tons of info, I finally ordered a batch of proscar.
I started thinning at 26, I'm 32 now, would say I'm around a Norwood 2.
It's definately difusing all over on the top, and my hairline is pretty high.
I have one of those "scandinavian" hairlines where you show alot of forehead. Will post pics as soon as I get my hand on a digital camera, so you can judge for yourselves.
My question is: Is it possible to cut generic proscar into 16 pieces?
Ive read that a smaller dosage of finasteride works just as well as the 1mg.
The 16 pieces should give me around 0.3mg each. So I figured I'd start of with that.
Any thoughts?

Look they chose 1mg for a reason so you should go for that dosage. It may be to your advantage to start out on a smaller dosage and slowly ramp it up to 1/4 or 1/5 of a proscar. This may help your body adjust and cause less of the typical initial side effects that usually fade by the end of the first month.

Besides I really doubt you can divide a pill much smaller than 1/4's, maybe 1/8ths but 1/16 is going to require grinding into powder and either weighing it out or drawing it into lines and visually guessing their equality or you could put it into solution and divy that up. Is it really worth the bother?

Thanks for your input Dinzy. 8)
Check out this link for why I have chosen to go on a lower dosage

Notice the results in table 1 :wink:
Figure I will increase my dose to 0.6 if/when 0.3 is no longer effective, then 1mg when that saturation point is reached.
