I would like to see that graph too. When I went back on Propecia, I increased my dose tapering upwards slowly every 7 days by .025mg (bought a digital scale on amazon.com). I went up to a total of .3mg, and went back down to a total of .25mg a day. Did not get any shedding untill I decreased...
Everyone is different. Yes, the sides are dose related. The higher the dose the more side effects. The lower the dose the less side effects. You have to find a dose that for you produces the most optimum growth with the least amount of side effects.

I'm glad you mentioned it I thought I was the only...
I'm someone who's been there, if 1mg is working for you stick to it. Increasing the dosage only increases the side effects, and the 3months worth of shedding you get from the increase is no fun either.
I got significant shedding, increasing my dosage from 1mg to 2mg. And also massive...
My experience after using Propecia is that whenever I doubled the dose of Propecia, more specifically increasing from 1mg to 2 mg or 2 to 5mg, I got massive shedding. If I increased the dose very slowly over many months (got special scale to weigh & cut pills down) , I did not get much...
