...taking finasteride? I screwed up and my card got declined when trying to order my next shipment. Only I didn't realize it until a few days later, and now I only have a couple pills left. I plan on cutting them to lower dosages, as I've done in similar situations in the past, but I've never cut it this close. The order should be in now. I'm hoping I didn't screw myself too bad.

i believe it takes dht levels quite some time before they reach pre-finasteride stage (like 2 weeks? dont quote me on that though you can research on here using the search function to find the answer to that). But if you are really worried, go into a walk in clinic and get a presciption for propecia or proscar. Explain to them that you have been taking it etc. Hope this helps

hopefully. i'm actually having problems with cards getting declined from inhouse. i can't figure out why. this never happened before, and i've been ordering from them for about a year now. my bank even called me earlier today and left a voicemail suggesting i call them back asap. i just borrowed my mom's card, so hopefully that goes through.

Yeah this is one of my biggest fears, getting stuck without a supply of finasteride. I think a few days wont do any harm but a 1 or 2 weeks could defintely do harm. Always make sure your well stocked up with finasteride and minoxidil, whereever you go. I bought like 5 packets of Proscar early last year and I still havent used them all. So my advice is to buy in bulk. But be carefull and make sure the expiry date does not expire beyond how much you will use in that period. Not so much with finasteride. Im pretty sure Proscar has a shelf life of around 2-3 years so your safe to buy at least a years supply. Buying a few months worth is just stupid, thats how you get yourself into trouble.

It takes almost 2 weeks for DHT to return to baseline after your last dose of finasteride. You will be fine without it for a week or two if need be.

Don't worry about it.

In one of the finasteride trials a group was on finasteride for a year, and then off. After a few years they were just about the same place as people who had been on the whole time.

Like Beaner said you'll be fine. Just fix or change your credit card and start ordering from waaaaaay in advance, I mean, like a 6 month supply if you can afford it. You can't be sweating a shipment like this man, you will end up frustrated.
