Microdosing on finasteride - Updates?

[MicroDoser]

Hey guys! Some updates
I upped the dosage from .05 to .075 for about a week since I posted and it resulted in more serious sexual sides so I stopped. However, I also get ed and low sex drive during the initial 2 weeks of .05, so I am reconsidering going back to .075 as I feel like I didn't give it a proper chance.

Thoughts on dosing .05 so far [it's been two months]:
I've had mild sides such as mild brain fog, fatigue and softer erections, but I've still been able to perform 2-3 times a day. Brain fog is annoying, but on some days it's ok. Strangely enough, I had a lot of drink last night and woke up with relatively less brainfog, which is strange. Maybe it's just a fluke, but it was an observation today.

My shedding has stopped to slowed down by very much, starting last week, but now I feel that my scalp is itchier, not so much on to top of my head, but on the sides and back. Very strange, any thoughts on that guys? I'm considering washing my hair everyday instead of every other day in hopes to subside the itch.

At this point, I am considering upping the dosage to see what it'll do for the itch, but I'm afraid that it'll induce another shed, did you guys find that your sheds came back after changing doses? My hair is thinner than it was when I started, but thankfully the shedding has slowed and now I'm just looking for the follicles to come back.

There is a government study backing up liquid finasteride. It doesn't have side effects like oral Propecia.

At first, I really didn't believe it. But I use it myself. And liquid finasteride stops more scalp DHT than oral as
well.

where do you get it?

Updates:
It's been two months since I've been on finasteride on a dosage of .05.

Been on .06 for the past couple of days, the sides hit me and my erections are softer than usual. Still hard enough to penetrate, but it requires a little bit more warming up to get it up. Brain fog is actually gone and my fatigue has lessened over the course of the last couple of days though, which is nice.
I'm going to give .06 till the 27th of july [about two weeks total], and then if the ed doesn't subside by then, I'll go back to .05 which was fine.

Shedding has stopped, which is so great. Hair still feels thinner, but when comparing the current pics to when I first started, you can't really tell that I've lost hair unless you were to run your hands through it. For a while, the itch came back, and it's still there, but still less than it was when I first started. I'm not sure if the itch is a reliable indicator of how well the meds are working, but I do take solace in knowing that the meds do subside my itch.

What does brain fog feel like? So it makes you feel dumber? It sounds pretty horrible if I got that I would drop the finasteride in a second there is no way that kind of thing is going to turn out well for someone long term.

Answered in earlier pages. It's hard to find the right words sometimes, lack of concentration. That's gone away since though.

Update: I tried .1 last week. I got fatigue and brainfog from .1 as well as an inflammed scalp, similar effects that I had when I first started microdosing .05. I freaked because sebum production and the itch was ridiculous, and went back to .05. After a few days of back on .05, my scalp calmed down, but it sometimes still itches. Nothing that drives me crazy though, it's not like the itch attacks I've had in the past.

What's really disappointing is the condition my hair has been in since I started microdosing. I'm 11 weeks into finasteride, and there has been no improvement whatsoever, my crown and hairline are thinner than baseline. I'm considering giving it one more month to see if there's any signs of regrowth, and if not, I'm going to try to up the dosage to .2.

Never posted before, but thought I might have something to add as I've been microdosing for 2 years now.

I took 1mg finasteride daily for about 15 years. In 2014 I saw the charts posted on one of these forums, and hypothesized I might get away with as little as .05mg twice a week. As there was no simple way to divide the pill into 20ths, and I wasn't keen to mess about with dissolving it in alcohol, I settled for taking 8ths twice a week.

Two years later, no discernible difference in appearance. Can't comment on side-effects as I have never had any I am aware of, before or after this experiment.

One thing that seems new around here is references to Japanese finasteride coming in a dose of 2mg. Anyone know where I can get my hands on some? Or is there any smaller pill out there? I'm keen to push this to .05mg and I don't like cutting the pills, it's a hassle and not entirely safe (although I'm pretty scrupulous about preventing it coming in contact with anyone else).

We dont have .2mg pills in the us and ive never seen them online. Alcohol really isnt messy. Crush five pills of 1mg finasteride (5mg all together) put it in 50 mg bottle of alcohol. every 1ml is .1 mg of finasteride

You probably realise I meant to put a decimal place before the 2mg. Anyway is there an online source for the .2mg Japanese pills? Not keen on anything involving crushing or cutting.

It's a tiny amount of alcohol.

You don't consume a percentage, you consume a mass, which is the product of percentage and volume. Since the volume is small, then the mass is small.

How much alcohol would i have to consume if i wanted to take .2mg finasteride ?

Tbh according to doctors even 1 glass of wine every day can be harming and the alcohol percentage is super low in wine...


Could i just that sh*t topical btw?

Did you pass high school?

Buy a litre of everclear.
Buy ten 5mg tablet of finasteride, dissolve.
Consume 1 ml a day, that works out to 0.05 mg of finasteride a day for a tiny amount of alcohol, done.

And no by the way, one glass of wine does nothing bad to your health.

Yep, some studies even suggest that a glass of red wine a day is actually good for health
It even was the first anti radiation med
