Thanks alot Rawtashk; I have ordered some Zinc Picolinate, Magnesium (w/out Calcium), and Vitamin D supplements, and have started a much healthier diet as of a few days ago. I'll be chucking regular exercise into the mix shortly. I'll report in a new thread if I subsequently rise above the...

Fair enough, guess I'm getting off topic with my request - I'll invest time in researching post-finasteride libido-increasing treatments myself and post in a more relevant thread if required. Cheers guys, take care.

On second thoughts.. So as not to end on such a downer, now that I have everyone in such a good mood, would the more experienced among you guys care to name a few post-finasteride remedies I might try (homeopathic remedies politely rejected), in a final attempt to make me half the sexual being I once...

Hi guys, I found this old thread having posted early on in this thread before becoming slack with the updates. The bottom line on my experiences since giving up to date is that while my libido has crawled back slowly over the months, it hasn't returned to anything like the level it was at...

Thorough finasteride Cessation Update: Still good.

finasteride Cessation Update: Disclaimers: Some of the following symptoms may be attributable in part to a crash diet I started a few days ago, to shift my spare tire in what I hope to be record time. Eating more regularly and very healthily as of today. A TMI warning in advance for the graphic...

Hi johnt, I agree with Timmysee that you that you cannot yet rule out beyond reasonable doubt whether your system can happily tolerate a 0.25mg dose, and would need to give it a bit longer to see if sides subside. However, in saying that I am not recommending whether or not you continue at...

Hi all. Slight change of plan: Given how good I have been feeling this last week since temporarily quitting the finasteride, (see earlier posts in this thread) and because of what seems like an ever-increasing number of people reporting adverse side effects, I am giving more serious consideration to...

I have Fincar 5mg tabs, but I will probably need to buy some 1mg tabs in order to divide into .25mg. One tiny tablet into 20 pieces will be impractical :)

Hi all. Timmysee: Good work, now stick to the lower dose for a while, even if the depression subsides! At least a couple of months. Johnt: I'm off finasteride completely for the time being. See earlier posts in this thread for full story. Sides continue to fade. Libido also steadily improving...

Hi johnt, I totally relate to the dilemma, johnt, and I've got real sympathy that you stuck it out for so long previously. To be honest, i'm bracing myself for the likely possibility that even on a very low dose, the finasteride sides will be too much to justify what is ultimately 'a little bit more...

Hi johnt, neuromet and all, Thanks for getting on board! Let's see how things go for us, then. Thanks timbo, for the chart. finasteride every day, or every other day ('eod')? I will need to research again to verify this and provide sources; But I remember reading that it is better to take a small...

Hi Timmysee, Nice one! Thanks for convincing me to get involved. But listen - is it perhaps worth sticking to your original dose for a while longer? I don't think two weeks is enough to judge the side effects. Its up to you of course, but think - if you get on OK after three months on the...

CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC. :) Hi all. 1st time poster. WHERE I'M AT: Like Timmysee, I recently gave up on a Finasteride regimen (12 months of 1.25mg daily, 4 out of 5 days) following about 10 months of massively reduced libido and a recent split with a long term girlfriend not totally, but...
