i know i've seen posts about this before, but i've never dealt with the problem personally so i haven't paid too much attention to them.

i ran out of finasteride 2 days ago. for 2 days prior to that, i was splitting a propecia in half (.5mg) to make my usual 1mg pills last until my overseas shipment arrived, which it still hasn't. ~5-6 days since the 1mg dose, 2 days without any.

i already posted about trying to get some on loan in austin, tx, but didn't receive any replies. i expected to get my finasteride in by this time, but no luck.

am i screwed? when the finasteride does arrive do i need to OD on it (take a full fincar) for a couple of days to wipe out any dht quickly? go right back to regular dose? suggestions please!

Small doses of finasteride are quite effective. You could have gotten away with taking 0.5mg every other day or 0.25mg every other day even.

Anyway, your dose should be with you soon enough.

well today makes a week since my last finasteride dose. still nothing to worry about?

i did indeed begin splitting my Propecia in half a week before running out. it should have been enough to get me through, but alas it was not. i thought i'd get the stuff late last week so i didnt trouble anyone who offered to help me out...but that may be changing in the next couple of days.

after a week of no finasteride, i have to belive that my dht levels are back up to normal and are affecting my hair growth. d'oh
