like I said, nothing changed except adding the fina.
No coffee, no thyroid meds, test/eq is the same dose. I took it in the morning with food. I am now going to try to take it in the evening with my sleep supps.
Thanks for the advice. I’ll give it some time.
Yep it worked!Any luck? A lot of people with the sleep issues don't get them when taken with dinner. Taking in the morning likely affect some circadian pathway in certain people.
Yep it worked!
No more sleeping issues. I’m going 0.5mg MWF now with dinner.
What I do notice btw is a bit softer look than normal.The deal with finasteride is that taking 1 mg daily is like guys trying prevent gyno/E2 sides on TRT/cycle by taking 1 mg adex every single day. It's going to be a bad time.
Finding that sweet spot (dosing and timing), most guys will save their hair with no side effects.
In many ways. Can not take these 1.25 mgs doses anymore. Caused limp penis galore, again. Small doses from now on.What I do notice btw is a bit softer look than normal.
But everything has it’s pro and cons, it’s not weird lower DHT makes you softer in general.
I notice it even with 0.5mg three times a week so I can imagine such doses fuck you up lol.In many ways. Can not take these 1.25 mgs doses anymore. Caused limp penis galore, again. Small doses from now on.
Interesting. My DHT levels are always elevated so it would be nice to bring them down just a little without any adverse effects. I have no hair loss but I don't want it to increase my cardiovascular risk.0.2 mg finasteride is virtually as effective as 1 and 5 mg daily.
Like Aromasin, finasteride is actually a STEROID hormone.
Also like an aromatase inhibitor, this 5-alpha reductase inhibitor can be therapeutic or toxic on a dose dependent basis.
Example:
You have gyno developing, weaker erections , moodiness and water retention; You take 1 mg adex per week, you feel like awesome and no side effects. Up that dosage to 1 mg DAILY, now you feel like shit and worse than before the AI; weaker erection, bad mood, joint pain and low libido.
Similar phenomenon with finasteride. Many men will not tolerate 1 mg daily without side effects. You want the therapeutic effect (stop/reverse hair loss) without the side effects.
As with arimidex/letrozole/etc, finasteride, an enzyme inhibitor, has a sweet spot therapeutic dosage that varies between individuals.
As little as 0.25 mg MWF or daily finasteride can stop and reverse hair loss with little to no side effects in most men, especially if started as early as possible. (Side effects can be further mitigated by playing with timing; morning vs evening, one can often "sleep through the side effects)
The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia - PubMed
In this study, doses of finasteride as low as 0.2 mg per day maximally decreased both scalp skin and serum DHT levels. These data support the rationale used to conduct clinical trials in men with male pattern hair loss at doses of finasteride between 0.2 and 5 mg.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govClinical dose ranging studies with finasteride, a type 2 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, in men with male pattern hair loss - PubMed
Finasteride 1 mg/day is the optimal dose for the treatment of men with male pattern hair loss and was subsequently identified for further clinical development.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Really bad where even 20 mgs Cialis didnt work, soft penis , and only hard until right before ejaculation. Currently trying, off a small piece of the 1.25, maybe 0.35 mgs, and also use topical finasteride with ru85541, which can also get into bloodstream I've heard, which used to think topicals couldnt , now currently not too sure.I notice it even with 0.5mg three times a week so I can imagine such doses fuck you up lol.
or prostate risk. Have you had a psa test?Interesting. My DHT levels are always elevated so it would be nice to bring them down just a little without any adverse effects. I have no hair loss but I don't want it to increase my cardiovascular risk.

It's always below 1 but I just turned 38 so I'm not at the age yet where it gets worrisomeor prostate risk. Have you had a psa test?
I’m 69 and PSA is 0.3It's always below 1 but I just turned 38 so I'm not at the age yet where it gets worrisome
I've seen transplant specialists recommend protocols of .5 dutasteride 1x a week + daily finasteride @ 1mg.I've had really good results with Dutasteride at .5mg, 1x a week.
I currently have acces to dutasteride 0.5mg also. Do you have any erection/libido problems on 1x per week?I've seen transplant specialists recommend protocols of .5 dutasteride 1x a week + daily finasteride @ 1mg.
Finasteride only did not stop loss for me even with combination of oral minoxidil.
Dutasteride + 5mg oral minoxidil has been the best combination for me and its very obvious in progress pictures. I didn't even notice I was taking the dutasteride as far as sides go, whereas finasteride just didn't feel right mentally.
