Hey guys, I've been microdosing .05 (before anyone says it wont do anything, look into flat rate dose response) for two months, and the shedding has slowed down and more or less normalized. I experienced all the symptoms, but in a mild manner, such as slightly weaker erections and brainfog but the erections are now okay and the brain fog is more or less gone.

I upped my dosage to .075 last week and noticed that I'm going through the same ordeal again when I first started finasteride, such as brain fog and ed, and top of that, a more shedding than usual. I've lost a lotnof hair due to the shed and really dont want to induce another shedding phase, so here's the question- will upping my dosage induce another shedding phase? If so, I'll probably just ride out .05 and see its effectiveness before upping my dosage.

Lol keep wasting your time... You're not even using .1mg you seriously think you're gonna notice any difference in your hair. Have fun potentially altering your hormones while receiving 0 benefit

Have you even seen the graphs for micro dosing? The scalp DHT level suppression is similar. .05 has entirely gotten rid of my itch and induced shedding for 1.5 months, which mean that finasteride's clearly doing something right.

No worries man, I felt the same thing when I was using .25 and saw no improvement if you're in your 20s low dosing just won't work. Good luck though

Dissolving them in 50ml of alcohol.
Getting tired of people asking the same questions, look at this post to learn about microdosing

.05 will reduce a significant amount of scalp dht while keeping serum dht only slightly lowered. If you're looking to maintain, try itout.
