What will happen if i stop finasteride for 7 days ?

[Scoiland]

I have been taking finasteride and minioxidil for 1 year 7 months now and for the past 3 months i have been feeling off balance and my mind seems really cloudy

my memory also seems pretty shitty lately

Does anyone else experience these sypmtpons with these meds?

And what will happen if i stop finasteride for 7 days ... then stop minioxidil for 7 days

Your DHT levels will rise and attack your hair mercilessly due to upregulated androgen receptors.

I dont think 7 days will have a big cosmetic impact....but it might set u back a little

i never knew it would have any effect at all wow

I really don't think a week off of finasteride will do you any harm. Theres a chance that it might set you back slightly but i mean you won't notice anything different if you look in the mirror...thats my guess anyways. I've been off finasteride for about a week and nothing changed for me.

The dht in you will mutate into a gigantic moose with monkey arms that will carefully ravage your intestines for nourishment as well as utilize your scalp as a pesudo hat since winter is coming--then someone in north america will spot big foot roaming around an undisclosed area. But no, it will not be big foot, but instead another helpless male who thought he and society would be safe without him taking finasteride!

either that or a whole lot of nothin will happen.


I think its a 50/50 toss up at this point.

Seeing that it is several days before DHT rises back to pre-finasteride levels, I don't think a week off will have any impact on your hair.

No, that's a bad idea to go off finasteride for 7 days. First, i think it's difficult for this to be caused by the finasteride. U were on it for over a year before u noticed problems. But if u really wanna see if it's the finasteride, try taking 0.5mg of it every day instead of 1mg (or 1.25mg if you use Proscar) or 0.25mg every day. But i strongly advise u to stay on it until you're SURE it's the finasteride that's causing this. also, see a doctor (who knows about this stuff-most of them know jack about propecia and hair loss!!). Good luck!!
