Let's find out our right dose of finestaride

[Chilean guy]

Hello guys,

After being on finestaride for 5 years with no side effects, this year (at my 30 years old) I began to experience sexual dysfuntions... after 1 month without the drug side effects were completely gone but my hair started falling very quickly.

My purpose with this thread is to share experiences and find out a regimen of finestaride that will allow us to get the benefits but minimizing it's side effects.

I know deep in my heart this is possible! I read that 0.25 mg of finestaride can actually do 80% of the work that 1 mg does.

My experience so far:

After recovering from side effects for being 5 years on the drug with 1 mg daily (1 month to recover) I started with 0.5 mg daily, at day 4 I noticed some side effects, I stopped taking it and it has been 3 days already, each day I show a noticeable recovery (this tells me that my body is recovering faster and maybe re-adapting to the drug)... I will start again when Im fully recovered maybe with 0.25 mg daily or 0.5 every other day... if those don't work I will try 0.25 mg every other day.

I am not ready for acceptance, I will not give up without giving it a try!

Thank's in advanced for sharing your experiences.

Best regards

Based on the research out there I would strongly suggest not to continue after falling to such sides. Take your recovery and run with it.

Hello, thank's for your answer.

What research do you refer to? (if possible with author and links)

I got a better initiative:

Let's find out how to upregulate CD200 and CD34+ cells.

I hope science will find that out for us... in the maintime I am looking for serious answers that may help me and other people who suffer this problem... Sarcasm does not contribute.

Please do a simple search "propecia side effects" Some get off lucky, some not so much..

Bodill32: the search has been done already before posting this and im aware of the sides. However, I am still not able to find out if by lowering the dose one person might get away from side effects and get the benefits of the drug in the other hand. Have you?

if you were fine for 5 years on Finasteride is it not possible your sexual dysfunction was caused by something else? A lot of things can impact libido. did you see a doctor?

I am seeing a doctor recently, I have got to check my hormone level now.

The thing is that after I stopped finasteride, sexual side effects dissapeared. I started taking it again and sides appeared again, I stopped taking it again and sides dissapeared again.... to me that is pretty conclusive... unless it is all in my head, I always keep a door open to that option.

I will start tonight with 0.25 mg with the best energy! let's see what happens.

For hair, the best dosage is 5 mg/day. Side effects are not different than 1 mg..

Or you could take the initiative to do something better with your time than waste it on stuff thats already known with dosages for finasteride.

Face it dude, Finasteride isnt a cure, its a mediocre treatment that most of the time only slows down hair loss. Try reading more about hair loss and finding ways to right whats wrong with the follicle;
dkk1, pgd2, arachidonic acid, CD200 cells, CD34+ cells, fibrosis, etc.

This isnt sarcasm either, im being serious.

Oswald: for hair the recomended dosage is 1 mg/day. 5 mg/day is recomended for large prostates. Thank´s anyway for taking interest in this thread.

I am looking for results dude... I apreciatte your contribution in terms of what is wrong with the follicle (dkk1, pgd2, arachidonic acid, CD200 cells, CD34+ cells, fibrosis), I did not know about those themes, but as you say that is just reading, no results.

Don't cut my wings man, there is nothing wrong about experimenting and searching ways through (categorizing something as a "waste of time" is a total arbitrariness, it must never be done)

Regards.

Lemme put it this way; no meddling with doses as long as your above 0.25mg per day is going to change anything. Studies showed that it gives the same efficacy at 1mg, 5mg or more. All it does is reduce DHT, thats it. You could cut your balls off and remove your prostate thereby eliminating DHT completely and you still wouldnt regrow your hair. You're wasting your time.

Come on! you can do better than that...

Ask anyone on the forum thats done some research and they'll tell you the same thing. It's a dead end. Put your efforts elsewhere.

are you even reading that propely? There is a half of one percent difference in plasma DHT levels between 1 and 5mg. That is literally nothing, and certainly wont have any effects in terms of regrowth. Even 100% inhibition will never give you full regrowth. Regrowth is based on the ability of the follicles to heal in a low DHT environment

So its like a time bomb which once set would never go off.......You can SLOOWWW the timer only but nothing else can be done??
Man this is depressing

you can stop the timer, and reverse it, but only by a certain amount. No matter what you do, some hairs will never regrow

Yeah. You're some right but IC50 values are different. For example, for me 5 mg worked very well than 1 mg dosage.For some people 1 mg dosage can be enough, but some people not enough because of very aggressive hair loss process.

IC50 values very very important for scalp DHT reduction. 1 mg dosage works very well for large organs like liver, brain etc.

But like prostate or hair follicules, 1 mg dosage can't be enoung for ''some people''..For a lot of people 1 mg dosage is ideal dosage, but some people need to big dosages. 1 mg finasteride didn't work for me but 5 mg dosage worked very well for me.
