Propecia 0.25mg Dosage query

[alitaher2009]

i have decided to reduce my propecia dosage from 1 mg twice a week
to 1 mg a week. I have read that many forum guys are atleast maintaining
there existing hair with least sides on this dosage. I am confused whether
to go for 0.25gm EOD or 0.5mg twice a week. any existing users on this dosage can give
me there feedback.

Try both and your body will be the best judge

Any theory on reduction of sides by lowering dosage?

Any theory on reduction of sides by lowering dosage?

What theory? Lower dosage = less chance/severity of sides.

You get the sides from low(ered) DHT levels right? Does such a small dose keep your DHT levels higher or something? Maybe give them chance to bounce back? I thought a small amount of finasteride was still very potent. Just like to know your thoughts about this.

i believe the way our liver digests finasteride is a factor in how our experience will be on the drug, in this case if you are taking .25 then your body is digesting less at a time which gives you a better chance at not experiencing some unwanted side effects. my main effects on finasteride were similar to those of people with sluggish livers (digestion problems, brain fog, lethargy) I believe this is why some people say it is good to stay in shape when on finasteride. this is just my take but it makes sense to me.

Theres a real good story on another forum where a guy used .25mg twice a week and he maintained what he had. And I believe he has been doing it for several years now
