I'm soon to drop finasteride and am probably going to move to RU58841.
I'll probably use 25mg per day as this seems like a good compromise between cost and effectiveness. (and el_duterino uses 20mg now I believe)

What I want to know is whether I'm likely to experience sides from this dosage.
I do get mild side effects from 0.5mg of finasteride which is one of the reasons I want to stop.
It seems pointless to order the RU if I'm likely to experience similar sides. Maybe fluridil would be better?

The main reason people use topical anti-androgens is there is almost no chance of side effects. The reason the internal finasteride is causing sides is because it's directly affecting how much DHT and other 5-AR2 reductase going on in your entire endocrin system.

With topicals like RU you are mostly letting it sink in to the skin, where its absorbed and the DHT is largely prevented from affecting the androgen receptors in your hair follicles.

You probably won't experience any side effects.
