I've had quite successful last 6.5 months with big three, anyway I've started to playing with the thought to stop using it. It's not because of the sides or anything because I can say that I haven't have any sides. It's more about that I have been able to accept the truth that some of us will be bald and others not and unfortunately my time came so soon. So would the best way to stop taking finasteride to do it all it once and that's it ? I'm more concerned about post finasteride symptoms because I've read that some ppl get those but since I didn't get any sides while I was on finasteride I guess there isn't too much of a chance to get any post sides ?

If you can be bald 10 years later don't you think it's worth it?

Sure it is worth it. My main concern is that I work out and I knew from the beginning what finasteride does to test to dht conversion etc. Now when I've ended my cutting diet and began to eat a bit more it feels that all the weight I gain comes more as a fat than muscle. It was a bit expected but not that much imo. Also I've heard from guys that even if you don't have any sides now the sides will catch you up at some point so maybe I should stop using it until I'm at that point the I got sides and probably sides what will stay even after quitting finasteride.

First of all what finasteride has to do with diet? Second, what about the man who posted here about taking finasteride for 15 years no sides and maintained nw2, and many other exemples, many reported to have sides for some time then after some time they kept using it wore off

Well finasteride has nothing to do with diet but if you would know something about hormones and hormone levels you would know what by suppressing dht what is a male hormone and that is responsible about the muscle growth and and when estrogen and dht ratio changes it can cause you to gain fat instead of muscle even if you work out and have clean diet.

BBS if the guy wants to get off finasteride, let him. He is at peace with it all.

I'm guessing the best way to get off finasteride would probably be to cut the tablet in half which you appear to be doing already so maybe skip days for a couple of weeks. I think it's pretty safe to just drop it though.
