Well, it would only be 1ml of 50% alcohol each day, so I doubt that would have a great effect on my liver. That's way less than what you would get from a glass of wine or a can of beer (12,5ml of alcohol).
Side effects I had were that I lost morning and random erections (usually have a lot), decreased semen volume, and less intense orgasms (probably because of the decreased semen volume). I stayed on it for three weeks and then I started feeling a little frustrated so I stopped. Shortly after that my shedding decreased loaaads, and over the next 3 months the amount of shedding slowly has gone back to where it was. So I assume it was the finasteride that did that.
Now that I see how good it works, and I feel pretty positive about future treatments so that I might not have to take finasteride for too long, I think I'll try microdosing to see if it's enough to stop the hair loss for now (I'm 24 now and my male pattern baldness is not very aggressive) with minimal sides. I'm not expecting there to be some sweet spot where it will be effective without giving side effects, I just want to take the smallest amount of finasteride that works for me, because most doctors I have spoken to are apprehensive about someone as young as me being on finasteride in the first place. Hopefully it will still work and the side effects will be bearable. I can live with lower libido for a while if it helps my hair, but I draw the line at ED or gyno.
Also, the hair clinic only gave me one box of proscar only to try and see if it works, so the longer it lasts the better :') I know you can get good stuff online without script but I feel better knowing it came from the pharmacy in town.
Most research suggests that the difference between .2 and 1mg and 5mg is not that big. I have seen some conflicting researches though, so it might actually make a bit of a difference. I am starting with 0.05, based on that one research that showed that it reduced scalp DHT by the same amount as 1mg, but serum DHT by a bit less.
