Starting Propecia Today...any Advice?

[donsf448]

After consulting both my dermatologist and primary care physician, both thought I was a good candidate for propecia (27M, slight thinning around the temples). Both also reassured me that the side effects are nothing to fear - just need to monitor for the next 6 months.

Any other advice? Should I start at 0.5 mg? Do I need to take zinc supplements? Any advice would be appreciated.

Anything?

Start at the dosage the derm gave you.
Don't be scared by sides. They will subside in a while.
If they don't, go back to derm. Don't make rushed decisions. It is your only way out of this sh*t.
