How Effective is 0.5 mg finasteride?

[Broken]

I used to take 1mg finasteride daily but after experiencing some non-sexual side effects, I switched to half the dose every day & it has taken away the sides. I wanted to know whether people have got results from taking 0.5 mg dose & if it is almost as effective as 1 mg. Or should I try to slowly work my way up to 1mg daily?

Thanks

There are people on this forum who've had success with 0.5mg or less. Trawl through the success stories part. According to the studies, 0.5mg is about 80-90% as effective as 1mg.
