Finasteride. Anyone experienced side effects taking 1mg, 3 times a week?

[Macbooky]

Hi. I have just found these forums so hopefully someone can offer some advice please. I have Finasteride 1mg tablets. I am 53 and really want to stop my hairloss but am extremely worried about the serious side effects from the drug. I have been prescribed 1mg daily but am wondering if 1mg Monday, Wednesday and Friday only, would lessen the potential side effects?

Has anyone taken 1mg, 3 times a week and still experienced any side effects? Thanks!

docs on youtube said x3 a week is effective. finasteride keeps your dht levels low for many days and it takes days to make new enzymes. I get side effects 3 times a week because thats only one day off finasteride. I can handle only monday and thursday 1mg. but I still get sexuall sides but at an acceptable level. Actually only been on 1mg twice a week for 2 weeks so we will see in the future.

Im gonna be honest here. Side effects can remain for months after quitting. I never truely recovered after quittng for months. It is a risky drug to play with. I get ejaculation problems (less force) and less semen and worse quality. Probably less morning erections too. But libido and erections are never affected thankfully. But im in the (minority) go ahead and try the drug.

Thanks very much for your input. I honestly just don't know. I'm aware that only 2% of men are badly affected and knowing my luck I'll be one of them!

Sure he can try it and see if he can handle the drug.

Apparently, if you take it 3 times a week you can still get 65% effectiveness. I just wondered if taking a low dose to begin with will leave less side effects.
So that’s why I was asking if anyone who’s just taken a low dose had an issues. Thanks guys.
