UPDATE
So I quit finasteride back in August 2015 after my last posts here.
Boners back to normal within 3 months. Everything was working well.
Of course hairloss accelerated and it started to become a bit noticeable in the crown area. In September 2015 I went on a religious pilgrimage which involved...
Bald and single is better than not bald and impotent. Anyway I'm not worried about our relationship as it has been through some major tests but always held together.
It's more than just a bit less horny. Sometimes it's been a struggle to get any hardness at all with full on stimulation from me...
It's the old risk / reward calculation. The fact that the wife can live with me losing my hair (or experimenting with hair transplants lol) means it's not such a tough call.
I do have a lot of hair so I am tempted to start minoxidil now but in the interest of not risking spoiling the wedding photos...
I've reached the point where I've decided to stop taking finasteride after 2 and a half years of taking a daily 0.5mg dose.
I had very early male pattern baldness - diffuse thinning at the front and some loss on the crown. finasteride did a great job in thickening up the crown to make the thinning invisible and then maintaining...

I guess finasteride must have shed any recently miniaturized hairs and they grew back and maintained. If I had waited any longer I would probably have lost them for good (unless I maybe added a stimulant like...
Although finasteride has a half life of a few hours it's effect on lowering DHT production lasts a week or 2 if I'm correct as it takes a few days for DHT levels to recover (happy to be corrected on this).
Therefore the time of the day probably isn't that important.
I was on 0.5mg daily for past 2 and a half years. I had early diffuse thinning at the front and some loss on the crown. finasteride did a great job of bringing back hair on the crown (can't see any loss there now) and then maintaining everything else I have and it's still working.
However, erection...
