Ive taken finasteride for short bouts here and there over the past year (3-5 month intervals) and what i realized is that when i take a DIM supplement every day is when i feel the least sides. I also take 1500mg of l-arginine twice a day (morning and night) and i cant say i feel any sides. Libido is better than its been in months actually (guessing its the l-arginine) and no other sides to speak of, oh and if you work out, l-arginine gives you a nice extra pump. Im almost 2 months into my regimen, taking in total about 4-6 mgs of finasteride every week (sometimes .5 a day sometimes 1mg sometimes i take a day off). i try to take it at least 4 days out of the week never less. This time around has been the best for me in terms of sides and libido, BUTTT i have been shedding like a b**ch lately whenever i apply minoxidil i get a couple hairs in my hands and it gets me so fkn nervouss!!!!
