I've posted my story before, but want to give an update. I've been on finasteride 1mg daily and min twice daily for many years with great success. Given the studies on how lower finasteride dosages could have similar efficacy, I dropped my daily dosage to 0.5mg about 4.5 months ago. After a few weeks, I felt great physically and mentally...no fog, morning boners almost daily, etc. Just in the last few weeks, I've started to notice more shedding than normal...nothing major, but noticeable. So, it appears there's a difference in effectiveness between the two doses, at least for me.
I'd like advice on where to go from here. My first thought is to go to 1mg on Mon/Thurs with 0.5mg on the other days, so just adding 1mg/week extra to my regimen without going back to 1mg daily. Does that make sense or any other ideas?
I definitely like the way I'm feeling on 0.5mg daily, although my sides (mild fog, less morning wood) at 1mg were mild enough that I got used to them.
