I have been on Propecia 0.25mg for 4 months and....

[Toyboy]

I still have side effects all be it less than when i was using 1mg or 0.5mg.Does anyone know if 0.12mg daily (half of 0.25mg) is worth giving a shot? Or would i be better off trying 0.25mg every other day? I just want my f*****g hair why must every f*****g hairloss product that works cause ironic side effects?

:dunno: It could work possibly.

Hi, could you go into a bit more detail about about the sides you got with 1 & 0.5mg and how much less they were on 0.25mg?

I had bad sides on finasteride when I used it for around a year, a few years back. I stayed on it to see if I would regrow any hair but didn't.

I'm now considering getting back on finasteride at a lower dose and combining it with minoxidil to see if that does anything.

You are a dominating duck aren't you? This forum is a give and take business, get used to it.

Depends how aggressive your hair loss, don't expect wonders with that kind of dose but i guess will slow down the process for some time. If your scalp can handle alcohol & ppg maybe you can try topical RU.

Toyboy, your hillarious... I found one of your posts from baldingblog...so it looks as though he was experiencing loss of libido and erection problems from finasteride... just stop taking finasteride plain and simple.

Hello Dr, I have used propecia in the past with a loss of libido and erection problems.So for the past year i have been using Revivogen. Revivogen has stopped further hairloss for me but has not given me any regrowth. So four months ago i decided to use rogaine, But rogaine gave me bad water retention and facial swelling so i stopped using it one week ago. I am planning to go and see my doctor tomorrow to get a prescription for propecia again. I plan to use 0.25 daily. I have heard that using this low dose has a low side effect rate. Do you think that adding propecia to my regimen of revivogen will give me some good regrowth? I have a feeling that these two products will work very well together.Thanks

I would try it every other day and see if the sides go away, you may have to give it time though.

Try looking at the top of the page. It's called a discussion forum not a Q & A session.

I wasn't hijacking your thread I was simply asking you to expand on your situation.

LOL How on earth would you know that was me? I'm not the only person on earth using 0.25mg of Propecia.

Thanks man! Finally some decent advice.

 

[OverMachoGrande]

You are welcome, I would start there and give it a few months and then evaluate the sides (if any).

When I was on the finasteride I experimented with the dosage a bit. I tried 0.5mg every other day, 0.25mg daily, 1mg every 3-4 days, etc... To be honest, I thought all those combinations were better than 1mg daily but my pecker was still feeling funny.

My side effects weren't so bad, the pecker was still functional but it didn't feel the same. If it was just one course of medication for a month or so, I would just put up with it and get on with my life for a month. However, intentionally stunning my libido everyday to keep a bit of hair was getting too much for me. I tried it twice for a month and I decided it wasn't for me.

There is a graph that shows how long the effects of a single dose of finastride lasts for.

Basically, a single dose of 0.25mg finasteride is effective for 3 days or so. You could try taking 0.25mg every other day, or once every 3 days.

Dude,Thanks so much for explaining it to me I will quit for 1 week then go back taking it every other day,If i still get sides i will quit for another week then take it once every 3 days.Thanks again.

If all fails, work on acceptance... It's not so bad...

I use minoxidil at the moment, I had a bit of a regrowth but nothing visible to the naked eye. I'm coming to 6 months of treatment now, and frankly I'm bored. I have roughly 2 months supply left and once I finish my current batch, I may not reorder a new one...

If I have a choice I want to have hair, but c'est la vie. There is nothing we can do about it at moment and it's OK for a man my age to be going bald.

 

[Toyboy]

I just realised that it was not propecia f*****g up my libido,It was in fact St Johns Wort,So i have stopped that and my libido is back.

 

[follicle84]

I tried 0.125 mg of finestride and can gladly say i had no problems at this dose. It made a difference in comparrison to taking 0.25, 0.5 and 1mg of finestride in terms of side effects. I m not sure how effective it is in treating hairloss because i am now able to tolerate a quater now and so take that dosage. To update i can report i have no further hairloss after nearly four months. I switched from 0.125 to 0.25 after two months. Hope this helps

 

[EasyEd]

In regards to taking 0.25mg, or 0.5 mg...do all of you that do this simply cut the pill into 2, or 4...or would you say taking a full 1mg every 2 days, or 4 days is equally effective?? I'm considering taking 0.25, and would do so by taking 2 pills weekly (it's actually about 0.28mg). Would this work? Or is there not enough consistency?

Propecia would be doing something on the days you take it but not on the others.

False. It is the 5AR2 inhibition and thus, surpression of DHT which continues for days after even a single dose.
