Ive tried taking .5 ED and had sides, so A year later I am here to try .25 every other day or .125 every day. Which would be better? Should I continue with my topical spironolactone twice daily? That is my only treatment at the moment. Tried rogaine foam but gave me headaches.

I recommend 0.25 mg finasteride a day, and 50 - 100 mg zinc in addition, if you get side effects.

50-100mg? That's a lot of Zinc! The RDA is apparently 15mg :ermm:

Do you find this supplementation combats sides, such as drowsiness and ED?

Large doses of zinc works as an aromatase inhibitor, and it's recommended by a Dr. Shippen in his book "The Testosterone Syndrome". It's altered testosterone/estrogen ratio which causes side effects, and an AI shifts that ratio back in favor of testosterone. Drowsiness can be caused by a lot of things, but zinc will definately help with the sexual part.

Quit if your joints begin to crack. It indicates that the estrogen level is too low.

I believe I will try out .25 EOD for about a month to see if i get the sides.. I got sides last time around week 3-4. I already take a multivitamin with 15mg of zinc. If i dont get sides ill continue up to .25 ED. I will keep the zinc in mind. I looked up a 50mg dose at walmart that I could add to my daily vitamin.

I have about 10 propecia from last fall. They have been in their container now for about 10 months in my bookbag. I have left my bookbag in my car in summer heat a few times. WOuld they still be good?

Hard to say. It can get very hot in a car, especially in summer. They're not supposed to be stored above 30 grades C, so I would throw them away.
