Going To Start Finasteride For The First Time...what To Expect? How To Know If I'ts Working?

[Feelsbadman]

ive been on this forum for a while but TBH i haven't started finasteride yet. i've been to scared. however, my hair is fucked so i will start.

i'm thinking about starting off with 0.5mg a day or even 0.25mg a day
do you think this is a good idea?
also how do you know if it's working?

i suppose you can only wait and hope 6 months later?
but what if you are taking 0.25mg everyday and in 6months time your hair is worse? have you just wasted 6 months with a low dose?

also can anyone elseconfirm that finasteride won't reduce girth/erectile size?

Wait a year to see results, some people get better results over the year mark but you should have a fair idea if it is working or not after a year. As for side effects and dosages i would just stick with 1mg, finasteride can cause libido problems for some people but the percentage is low, if you are experiencing them and it's not something you can cope with just stop taking it.
