why have you decided to quit?
If you quit your basically throwing away the last 11 years in terms of your hair. If you change your mind later it might not work the same as before so hopefully your really done with it. I dont think how you quit honestly makes any real difference I guess you could try slowly decreasing.
Could you let us know why you decided to quit?
I would not recommend just quitting suddenly. If you quit, I would very gradually reduce the dose until you are taking a very small amount and then skip days. It will be less of an impact to your system by gradually reducing it. I would recommend doing over a 2-3 month period.
If you are not having any side effects and just want to reduce the dosage, I would cut it to .5mg and see how you do. If that is working fine, then you could even reduce it more. You will need to see what works.

There are serveral reasons, i think a about quitting for. I cant explain each of them. I had no really hard suffering sides, but maybe i am curius to know, how life feels without finasteride. Within the last 11 years i became a very emotional and sensitive person. I would like to find out whether this is linked to maipulating my hormone-system.
I have been doing bodybuilding ever since. My gains in building muscle and lossing fat are something like ok. I am asking myself, if i could improve without finasteride.
Each night if have to take a piss for 1-2 times. After pissing, urine-drops come out slowly for about 30 seconds. If i could get rid of that, it would be geat.
Last but not least, i read that Finasteride might cause cancer (chest/breast), what do you think about that?
By the way: i am 34 years old.
I will reduce my intake first: Do you think i can take 1,25mg each second day or is it nececarry, to take it every day?
cheers (please pardon my english)

A 50% dose is supposed to be more than 50% effective. Some graphs show 0.25mg (25%) being around 70-80% as effective as 1.0mg. So 0.25mg is supposed to be less effective but still effective.
Sounds like you're splitting 5mg finasteride pills to 1.25? Probably need 1mg finasteride pills to split to 0.25mg.
Seems to me a slow reduction would be safer than sudden stops. Should be less of a shock.
Ive been off dor 2,5 months now after 7 years of 1mg daily...cold turkey as you put it! Results...more interest in sex, daily erections and generally feeling more male. Also looking for alternatives to keep my hair. Now use regenepure but need something else? not rogaine so thinking about revivogen or ru58841, just worried aboUt possible effects of RU??? Anyway just quit finasteride...its not good stop while you can!!!
Yeah some of those reasons are why I never tried it. There are lots of questions that science will never give you answers for that are much more subtle then obvious sexual sides. Unfortunately, the alternatives are few if any which is why so many guys still start and use propecia. I dont think many people would use propecia if they knew more about it, and there were good alternatives. I would like to see someone test topical spironolactone in different vehicles to see how much more effective it can be. I dont think it works well if at all with the vehicle that is currently sold in

Did you restart finasteride? Or stay quit?
