I had reported earlier on my experiment. This is an update.
I was on Finasteride 1mg for 3 years. I definitely had side effects. It got much better after 7 months but I still had it. I decided to experiment with the dose. Cut to .5mg. Hair stayed good. Side effects definitely were less. Cut to .25mg. I started to loose hair especially at the crown; front seemed ok. Side effects about the same perhaps a bit less. Stopped taking it. Started to loose more hair, a lot more hair. Within 7 days my side effects completely went away. Man I had forgotten; could have 3-4 erections in a row; semen back to white; and the kicker was that there was a psychological change. I became more aggressive, more assertive, livelier. All that is great but the hair loss kept getting worse. Now, I am back on 1.25mg dose; after just 14 days hairloss has reduced (I use Rogain Nizoral and Retin A-because of all the hair massaging I think I pull out the dead hair earlier than otherwise) side effects are slow to come back but they are definitely coming back. I will go on this 1.25mg for 4 months to reverse the hair damage and then drop to .5mg.
For me what is obvious is that finasteride is it as far as hair loss. It is the basis and the most important element for controlling hairloss.
Everything else is just a help that builds on finasteride. And the thing is potent with side effects. In fact I doubt seriously if there are people with no side effects. It varies but I am sure if you are observant enough most will have side effects.
