Hi all,
i don't think is a side effects post, rather a dosage question, but if it is I apologize and you can move it, mods.
If you want to check my previous side effects post- you can find it here:

Proscar 1.25mg has done amazing things for my hair - been on it 3 months now and it's coming back nice and thick and the diffuse thinning was really coming fast before i jumped on meds.
However, I'm having libido problems. i also had back acne for a few weeks but it's since subsided. I'd like to try cutting my dose in half to .625 to see if the sexual sides reduce. I was able to get the pill cutter to cut approximate 1/8ths but obviously they aren't perfect and there's a bit of variation from piece to piece. Will this be ok? Will the pills remain effective if there's say .1mg variation?
I can't afford propecia and these proscars are tough to cut. I've pretty much decided to quit proscar if the sexual side effects don't subside and try some topical solutions. I don't want to be eating horny goat weed for the rest of my life.
So to recap:
1) Are those 1/8 proscar pills with slight variation ok?
2) How long should i give my body to adjust before i accept low libido as a side effect that won't go away?
3) If I quit proscar and try something else and it doesn't work, will i be able to return to the state I'm at right now with some thickening, or will the loss I would sustain while off proscar be irreversable?
THANKS!
