Alright so...I'm taking the finasteride plunge again. I took brand name propecia for a month over a year ago. I started with .5mg every day..had sides...cut down to .25mg every day..sides improved a bit but came back...so I quit. Everything eventually went back to normal.
I'm now 25 years old, extremely healthy (only eat organic, don't eat processed foods, limited sugar, fresh vegetable juice daily, vitamins daily, fish oil, work out every day etc etc...yes I'm a f*****g health nut). I've been losing hair since about 22 years old.
This time I've ordered Cipla Finpecia off inhousepharmacy.biz. I plan to take .25mg every other day. I'm planning on staying on it for at least 3 months even if I have sides. I'm hoping that if I have sides again, they will subside at this dosage after 3 months (before I didn't give them a chance to subside, I just quit). If after 3 months sides are still a problem, I'm going to quit. If sides subside, I'm going to up the dosage to .5mg every other day or maybe .25mg every day and see if I can tolerate that.
This post will basically serve as a tool for me to keep track of things and for anyone who is interested to ask questions/see how things go for me. I don't think I'm going to post pics because..we all know finasteride works...if it works for me and regrows/stabilizes my hair I'll let you know. My main concern is the sides issue. If I get to the 3 month point and sides are not an issue then maybe I'll take some "before" pics (I know 3 months in isnt technically 'before' but it should be early enough to where things wont be too much different from now)
Thats all for now. The finpecia should arrive probably sometime late next week. Oh also I'll be taking it at night before bed along with 50mg of zinc. I've started taking the zinc daily already to get it in my system before the finasteride comes. This is to minimize the chance of increased estrogen being a problem.
