Just thought this would really help me and probably others too!

Ok I want you to say:

1) The dosage you took or are taking.

2) Whether you experienced side effects (and if so on what dosage, and how long they lasted)

3) Whether it is working for you (and on what dosage)

4) How long it took to work for you


I'm really quite interested to see the results of this :)

I have not started yet, but hopefully this will help me and others to gauge the drug a little bit better!


Hoppi!

Pff just take 1mg and you will probably be just fine.

Your hairloss will stop and you will have no or very insignificant sides.


Good luck

hey 1 mg no sides. during the first week or 2nd week i had minor testicle pain for like a day or two, and no mornign wood, I think it might have been all in my heard, since then no sides at all, i dont even think about them anymore. Been on it 13 months, hair is alittle worse since when i started, but i think that my hairloss has pretty much stopped the last couple months or at least slowed down alot.

1) 1mg

2) Possibly slightly weaker erections...however..not 100% they were not like that before I started taking finasteride, simply because I am not 12 anymore. - No difference when coming off finasteride for a month, or from taking 0.25mg or 1mg.

3) Still losing ground at the hairline. But shedding has reduced to maybe one or two hairs in the shower, as opposed to 5-20.

4) Shedding reduced after about 2-3 months. But as mentioned, not really 'working', although if shedding has reduced, presumably slowing the inevitable down.

1mg, 0.5mg, 0.25mg and 0.125 mg (1'8th)

I got most side effects from 1mg (brain fog, weaker erections, fatigue, testicle pain, gyno, breast pains, weight gain etc). At 0.5mg i got all side effects mentioned above apart from weaker erections and brain fog. At 0.25mg the remaining side effects were still there but much weaker. At 0.125mg i only suffered from minor gyno and fatigue which only occured gradually.

O.125mg dose didnt do much harm but gradually caught up with me unlike the higher doses which occured after weeks of usage. I still shed hair at this low dose so just to let you know the dose power changes didnt change the level of hair shed at least with me.
