Hi guys, I posted here back in september about being reluctant abiut gettig back on finasteride after getting sides the first time around. Istarted finasteride again April 10th and, so far, not a side in sight. Here is my routine:

0.5 mg finasteride everyday
50 mg zinc everyday
2000mg msm for quicker hair growth
Biotin for healthier hair
Nizoral 2% once a week

Lifting weights 3 times a week

I believe I have a slight case of brain fog, however nothinf i cant handle. And I already began to have people comment in my thickening hair. Btw, I am an nw6 heavy diffuse thinner.

Thats cool. I had a similar story. Got on finasteride at .5mg every day..had sides...quit after a month. Let a year go by. Started back up this time on .25mg every other day and taking around 100mg of zinc per day. Had sides the first couple weeks, but not as bad as before, they eventually went away...upped my dose to .25mg every day and only 50mg zinc...no sides after a month of that...and recently upped my dose to .5mg every day, not really taking zinc anymore...so far so good. Hoping to eventually up it to .75mg then 1mg over the next few months.

My hair has always grown pretty fast and I've already noticed results in the first couple months. The shedding has pretty much stopped, some hair around my temples has appeared to either re-grow or at least thicken and my hair overall has a way better texture. Hoping to get some serious regrowth/thickening as I get farther into treatment.

For anyone who has had finasteride sides I would definitely urge you to start at .25mg every other day and see how you feel..see if the sides going away (if you have them at all)
