Quick question re: increasing finasteride dosage

[Alan21]

Ok so I've been taking 1.25 finasteride for about 7 months along with nizoral 2-3 times a week. I see results but i feel as though its taking too long to see a significant difference.

Is it ok if i increased my daily finasteride dosage to 2.5mg ?

Maybe wait a bit longer. <Common overstatement> Im not an expert </Common overstatement> A year? And 2.5 seems like a lot. Of course you know the risks or you would not be taking it. Also I dont seem to see a lot of people taking that much around the forum. Correct me if Im wrong.

people need to read how these drugs work. increase dose is not going to speed things up or improve them!

little dose such as 0.25-0.50mg blocks 70-80% DHT. you don't need to even take a full mg as anything over 0.50-1mg does not make much difference.. you're just going to screw your body up more by taking anything over 1mg.

7 months is hardly anything. some people have been on it much longer and take a lot less.. i only take 0.5mg propecia and i will never go above 1mg. knock yourself out however!

I personally take 1.25mg a day, but that's simply because it's 1/4th of a Finasteride tab. If you understand how it works, you'd understand that you don't need much more than 1mg daily. Now if you were to break that up into 2 .5mg doses a day, I wonder if that would have more of an effect.

oh ok, so taking over the 1.25 i've been taking would be useless.

does it matter what time of day i take it? (ie before bed or in the am ?)
