switching from propecia to proscar today.

[follijinxed]

I have been taking 1mg EOD of propecia for the last 3 months and believe I am already starting to see results. Thickening all over and miniaturizing hairs in the front starting to get longer.

I just ran out of propecia so I got proscar. I'm still scared of gyno and have noticed the first signs of puffy nipples, it might just be me hallucinating but I don't want to chance it. So, I'm dropping back to 0.5mg every day instead of 1mg EOD.

Thing is, getting those proscar tablets into 0.5mg is difficult. right now I'm only getting 5 portions per pill because I am basically cutting it into 5ths and then shaving the pill down to what looks to be around 0.5mg.

Since I work at a university and the chemistry building is right across the street, I might actually start weighing out the pills, prolly do that tomororw since I don't have time today. See If i can get 1/10th of a pill.

I'm going to try to get a hold of some Alpecin too.

So, I'm dropping back to 0.5mg every day instead of 1mg EOD.

0.5mg every day is the same as 1mg every other day. This is not 'dropping back' If you feel the medication at this dose is giving you gyno, taking the very same dose with a shorter interval will not solve your perceived problem.

there are differing opinions as to whether it is better to go 0.5 every day or 1mg EOD. Seems that 0.5 every day will make it easier for your hormones to adjust.

I am going to take my proscar every other day for now until I can get a more accurate measurement. I don't want to be taking 0.6mg every day.
