When I showered today it was unbelivable because only about 4 or 5 strands of hair came out unlike the usual 20-50. anyway, with that said there have also been sides that have shown up too. this morning while there this morning wood, it wasn't a strong, and after masturbating today i defintely can see that my semen is more liquid and watery while semen seems to be down. i also have experience increase in body temperature after im done eatting something warm, i start sweating, this has never happened to me. also broke out in some sort of allergic rash after eatting my chicken dinner tonight although i have no clue whether it was the sauce or something else. anyway, is there anything to suggest that 1mg of finasteride a day may be too high a dose for someone like me. I mean I'm a very healthy active young guy, 21 and i play soccer for my college etc, but i'm only like 155lbs. so i think that 1mg of finasteride may be way too high. as of now i'm going to stop the finasteride and just stick with using rogaine foam.
Let me break down your post for you.

well i've been on finasteride for only two days now, and despite what some may say i have already seen my hairloss dramatically improve.
Taking finasteride for 2 days will not dramatically improve your hair. finasteride is something that needs time in your body so it can block DHT. Just like male pattern baldness took 2+ years (assuming) to show up on your head, finasteride also needs time to work. I will add this however. If you feel that finasteride has dramatically improved your hair after 2 days then think that. It is ALWAYS better to feel good about your hair then feel shitty. Being positive about hairloss and taking meds will work out a lot better for you then taking meds and being paranoid or worried, which just brings a negative aura around you.

Here, the watery semen COULD be from finasteride but why would you give up finasteride just after a few days? If you think you'll get watery semen then you probably will (placebo effect).

Now this was the funny part. You should really calm down and not worry so much about finasteride. Here, you are trying to find causes to reactions you had and are indirectly saying these were caused by finasteride, which is highly unlikely. When you eat something warm, your body will get warmer :roll: and the rash and chicken dinner was also funny.
I have been on finasteride for 5 days. Do I have sides? Well, I don't think about the sides nor do I think about the finasteride so I don't have sides. I don't have watery semen and some days I have morning wood and some days I don't. But before I started finasteride, I didn't get morning wood everyday nor was my semen always rich. Many sides are in your head because you've heard stories on this board or other boards/internet and so as soon as you pop that pill you start analyzing your body for differences from the norm (something I did the first day I took finasteride).
You have to realize that sides are rare and most doctors will prescribe finasteride without much hesitation. finasteride is a great way to fight MBP. If you don't feel confortable taking 1mg/day try taking 0.5mg/day. You weighing 155lbs and taking 1mg of finasteride is also fine, try not to worry so much. I am no doctor but from the 5months I've been on this board I have read nothing to say 1mg is too much for "x" body weight. I have been splitting my proscar into 5ths (1mg) but starting tomorrow will split it into 4th (1.25mg of finasteride) and I weight 175lbs.
Now, I just have to get over my paranoia of starting minoxidil and just do it, and by paranoia I mean just having ballz to do it and dealing with a shed a month in (although I may not even have a shed...see I do it too).
