    .25mg - good results but could be better?

    The sides were nut ache (left testicle only), knee pain, water semen and decreased libido. I also had a dull ache in my prostate region sometimes. These sides were very pronounced on 1mg and very subtle on .25, so there's no doubt that they weren't just psychological as some claim. Really...

    .25mg - good results but could be better?

    I know this topic has been covered to death, but wanted to share my experience and get more feedback before I move forward. I've been on .25 mg generic Finpecia for almost 8 years. I've been able to thicken and maintain at around a Norwood 2 (though I'm not sure). If I comb my hair a certain...

    Would going from .25mg to .5mg finasteride help me any?

    I just take the regular 50mg zinc supplements you find at any store. ALWAYS take zinc on a FULL stomach or you'll yak. My stomach is so sensitive to it that I take half (25mg) right after a meal. Edit: I said empty before. I meant FULL stomach. Man, I need to proofread.

    Great! Glad it worked out for you. Maybe I'll experience the same. Did you experience any sides at all?

    Would going from .25mg to .5mg finasteride help me any?

    Been on .25mg finasteride since 4/06. I'm about a Norwood 2, with a little bit of scalp showing on my crown where my whorl is and my hair parts. Some people have experience regrowth on finasteride, and I've definitely had great maintenance and thickening. Maybe I can achieve more on a higher dosage. The...

    Been on finasteride 0.25 mg for almost 3.5 years. Should I go to 0.5

    I've had definite success with 0.25 mg finasteride daily, for almost 3.5 years. I started Ro foam almost 1.5 years ago with no real visible results. I'd like to fill in a little more of my crown area, and I seem to shed almost constantly. I've seen the DHT inhibition chart that shows anywhere from 0.2...

    3 months taking minoxidil so far

    I've been on Ro foam for almost 1.5 years and don't see any substantial results. <maybe> a slight thickening of the surrounding hair on my crown but some days, when my hair's oily I see a nice white line going down the middle of my crown when my hair's parted. Has not filled that in.

    minoxidil: Foam vs. Liquid

    I tried both the liquid and the foam. I tried the liquid (2% and 5%) a few years ago for about a year and had no visible results. I started the 5% foam a year and four months ago and I don't think there are any visible results. Been on finasteride for 3 years and four months. If you need cheap use the...

    Is Rogaine foam once per day as effective as twice per day?

    I've been on .25mg finasteride for about 2.5 yrs now with great results. However I wanted to fill in what I lost in the crown area. I've seen an improvement with 2x daily rog foam but was wondering if 1x is sufficient.

    Is Rogaine foam once per day as effective as twice per day?

    How long does it take to absorb and be effective? If I put it on after I shower and style my hair, there's a clump of "glued" hair sitting there. What if I put it on as soon as I wake up, and after about an hour take a shower? Will this wash away any benefits?
