Im taking .5mg of finasteride each morning and I had no sides after the first week and those were just minor.
Im also using minoxidil with my regime.
I can def see major improvement in my hair. The roots are much thicker and my natural dark color is back though the tips are still much lighter but this is growth from before I started fighting.
I cant voucher if the finasteride is doing anything for me at this point as its to soon and finasteride usually isnt noticeable till the half year mark. Im sure most of my regrowth and thickness is due to Min mostly.
But clinical trials have show that finasteride is pretty baseline after .2mg. The trials show that .2mg is 80% as effective as 1mg.
A lot of guys take .5m as its more than enough DHT blocker for most individuals. Though some individuals dont respond well to finasteride so that is also a factor.
You wont know till you try it for yourself as no one can answer those questions when it comes to us all being individuals.
So I would say try .5mg after 6 months if you dont notice any improvement then move to 1mg. Dont expect finasteride to do major regrowth as its mainly to prevent further loss and regrow some of the most recent loss and rethicken what you have still. Hairs that have been dormant for many years will be less likely to respond to finasteride with out Minoxidil also.
