Is 1.25 every other day as effective?

[Secretlybatman]

I'm thinking of trying every other day instead of everyday because I'm getting bald spots on my legs which I assume is due to the lack of DHT. They're itchy at the moment as well. One of my nipples (Just the bit that sticks out) is harder and a tiny tiny tiny bit bigger than the other nipple when it expands during heat. When it's flat there's no difference and I don't see any or feel any lumps underneath it so I don't think it's gyno but i though 1.25 every other day might be a way to be safe on that. I take generic proscar cut into 4s so I don't think i can cut it any smaller so is every other day as effective as every day?

Why not just take Finasteride daily? It should be easier since it's a simple consistent daily dosage. Taking Finasteride daily versus every other day shouldn't make a big difference. Again, doing a consistent daily dosage should be easier since you won't need to keep track if you need to take the medication at a certain day or not.

I used 1.25 daily successfully for 5yrs. I would say daily is your best bet

If you're taking finasteride, it is best and easiest just to take it every day. Taking finasteride ED is a very little bit more effective than EOD. The difference is tiny, though. Reducing your dose in order to combat side-effects is futile, however, because finasteride has an almost flat dose-response curve once you go above a threshold dose at which finasteride begins to potently inhibit DHT. The threshold dose is different for different people, but for each person, there is little difference in DHT suppression between all doses above that threshold. Below the threshold, you will have so little DHT suppressed that your male pattern baldness will not be treated. As you can infer from this, it is pointless experimenting with lower doses of finasteride in order to try to stop your side-effects while at the same time trying to maintain finasteride's effectiveness. If you are someone whose body simply isn't able to handle DHT inhibitors, the sensible thing to do is to stop using these drugs and instead look for alternative options to treat your hair loss.

.25 eod cured side effects
For the last year been having sexual side effects. Been on propecia for 5 years. Orgasm was not as strong, no pulsating feeling and overall less sensation. Changed dosage couple times and settled on .25 eod. After 3 months sides are gone. Still retain hair front and back thickness. Little shedding maybe 5% more than usual but its hard to be sure as this happens seasonally. Morning wood is back as well as well as better muscle bulk. Still use rogaine on front and back twice daily. This routine is tolerable and can say that i don't have any side effects. It's worth a try if you don't want to completely go off propecia.

I took 20mg daily successfully for 10yrs. I would say 20mg daily is your best bet.

20mg daily for ten years????? What made you choose a dose that is 20 times higher than the standard hair loss dose? And how much did you pay for all that?

Cutting 5mg pills into 8s would get me around 0.62 mg but damn that sounds hard to do.
