i'd rather have a long life. Dying at 40? no way, I mean life is short as it is, and 15 years will go in a heart beat. I really do care about my hair and I hate to see it go. I cry or better I used to cry about my hair, it sucks. Once my girlfriend almost had to slap me. But I just have to...

Yeah, but he takes proscar 5mg...

hey zeroheart, great results. Are you using a quarter of 5mg finasteride? Or 1mg tablets of finasteride? Thanks

Where did you get the numbers for 20mg of finasteride? or for 100mg of finasteride? Based on the scalp DHT reduction in the study posted by antman finasteride at 1mg is 92.36% as effective as 5mg. So you get roughly 7.64% increase in effectiveness by taking the whole 5mg pill. Since you don't have numbers for the...

Well, i have read that in the US the Dr. Reddy's finasteride is only slightly cheaper than the brand name. We need to wait for other generic makers to hit the market for the price to come down significantly. Though I still think that cutting up 5mg generic finasteride will always be the cheapest option by far.

Hey, so you believe that in some people the increased dose might have more of an effect thanks to bio-availability? I would definitely agree with you. It's interesting (and sad) that many doctors do not view it like that and only prescribe 1mg to everyone. On the other hand, do you think that...

Hey Jimmy, what treatments are you using? It seems like we are on the same boat, I am also 24 and thinning in the NW3 pattern

Really nice! I hope that the meds will work for me as well. Are you still using generic finasteride 5mg and cutting it up to 1/4's?

Hey, sorry I haven't ever seen a pill cutter like that. I believe that all of them are pretty much the same and only cut the pills in half. Maybe try dissolving finasteride in vodka and drink an appropriate amount each day. Did you mean that taking higher dose than your threshold will increase...

Try adding silica and also amino acids L-methionin, L-cystin. It won't do anything in terms of stopping male pattern baldness, but it will probably help with the appearance of hair. Definitely get on minoxidil. Also a good book on these hair loss supplements is a "Hair loss for dummies" by Dr. Rassmann and Dr...

Why do you think that he is working for the big pharma? He isn't pushing any specific brand. Both minoxidil and finasteride can be purchased as generics. To Pbot64: Glad that you are having success. So did you use the 5mg finasteride and split it to quarters or did you use 1mg? Thanks for sharing your story.

bump...anyone?

Hey, I just wanted to start this thread about finasteride and mainly guys who have experience with taking different dosages (mainly higher than recommended; in the range of 2.5mg and above). What were your experiences in these dosages, was it any better or worse? How did you feel on this dose...

Hey wuffer, really great progress, congrats. Btw I was wondering, do you still use quarter of the finasteride tablet (1.25mg) or are you using 1mg propecia. And do you use generic or brand name? I hope I get results like you. Thanks for the reply.
