Hi all,



I've been taking finasteride 1.25mg EOD for nearly 4 years since aged 22. Regrew some hair, stopped stressing about being self-conscious, didn't experience any noticable side effects at all

Now I'm older I feel I'm at an age where it's more acceptable to be bald, so I'm going to shave my head and say goodbye to my hair.

My question is, I don't want to lose all my hair in 3 months or so because people will really notice somethings up, I'd rather lose it gradually over a year maybe. Can I do this by taking my 1.25mg maybe just 2 or 3 times a week or is this likely to mess my body up?
Thanks for the help in advance.

well done on making a brave decision. We don't all have that kind of courage

stopping gradually is probably best so taper off. Ask your doctor if you want to be sure
