Finesteride 1mg Daily Increase To 2mg Now Experience A Backlash???

[brill007]

if the efficancy from 0.5 mg to 1mg is only 9%, then why is everyone taking 1mg and not half a mg?

Because that's what their doctors prescribes. My doctor didn't tell me what the efficacy difference was until I looked it up. I suggest you ask your doctor just to see if he/she actually knows what she's talking about and not just reading off the booklet.

Have you changed from brand to generic by chance ?

I don't have an answer for you but I strongly suggest shooting an e-mail to Joe Tillman - he deals with patients with cases like this all the time.

Hi Alan,

You probably had a telogen effluvium, maybe a mild one, from the extra dosage and with time that most likely would have settled down and those hairs return to anagen. I personally don't think you had anything to worry about , but I'm not a doctor. Just stay the course and you will most likely be fine. Give your current intake more time to settle, and maybe re-evaluate at one year.

Good luck,
