I remember some ppl posting information on fins life in the system. If it could have the same effect but essentially not be in the bodies system then I can only see positives... ..however 5mg seems a lot to take at once!

Hi all, My pharmacist recently informed me that a local Melbourne professor has researched a 1x 5mg dosage of finasteride once a week and the results are to be released shortly which are positive. Does anyone have information on this? Cheers.

Keep posting mate. I am back on the finasteride myself. Taking 0.5 - 1mg daily. Looking to give it 6-12 months with minoxidil and nizoral.

Wow, great results Norman!!! You must be so stoked. I read your 1st post from '09 previously but didn't see the others. You have had MAJOR growth. Makes me think about getting back on the finasteride. Thank you for sharing your story. BlackLabel - Please keep us updated with your story. Cheers

Same boat here. minoxidil 7% once a day for 5 years with great results. Skipped a few days here and there when I was getting low started shedding then switched to a 5% solution, shed more and more. Seems as though the shedding has calmed down but lost ALOT of hair in the process. Upped dosage to...

This is an interesting topic. I used minoxidil alone for 5 years (once a day) with great results (after taking finasteride + minoxidil for 2 years) However now starting to see a lot of thinning. Is the minoxidil not working anymore? as I've upped it to 2x a day now. Also starting using Nizoral.

Norman, Have you continued to take the 0.5mg of finasteride? Got good results from that dosage? Will you continue to do so or will you step up to 1mg? Cheers.

I was going to suggest you take 0.5mg for a week then step up to 1mg. I am looking to take this approach. Getting dizzy over 0.25mg? I think thats all in your head dude!! Build up to 0.5 and see how you go. I didn't notice any sides whilst on finasteride except for anxiety, however, it may have not...

Coffeemug - very interesting points you have made. Be interested to hear what pans out for you. Maybe the 0.25mg is a little to low of a dosage? Maybe up it to 0.5mg?

Thanks Wuffer. Guess I'm still debating whether or not to get back on to the finasteride after a 5year hiatus. Cheers.

Like i've said i have had really really good success with minoxidil the past 5 years (i did take finasteride for 2 years prior). Although now its starting to plateau. You may want to try minoxidil first mate. Easy to order Regain online. Just apply it once a day.

Thanks for the reply. If they have a ton of lawsuits why are good doctors still prescribing it?

Can you point me towards this topical finasteride? Don't worry, I in fact have 2 boxes of finasteride (1x proscar and 1x procepia) - in case things get drastic LOL

Answered already? You stated that you 'bet' the site was taken down was due to potential lawsuits. Forgive me if I'm wrong but you having a guess is not a concrete answer. It would be interesting to know how long the site has actually been down for and considering ethical doctors are still...

Mate, have you tried minoxidil topically? You might get a good 5 years out of it. I know it doesn't block DHT but you could maintain. Hopefully by then there will be topical versions of finasteride readily available.
