Would it be wise to give finasteride another shot?

[Pondle]

is it finasteride to take days off and raise and lower your dht level? does that effect your hair?

The Proscar trials showed that discontinuation of therapy resulted in a return of DHT levels to pretreatment levels in approximately 2 weeks.

Skipping days shouldn't make a tremendous amount of difference to your hair.

Doesnt finasteride raise your testosterone?

Mean circulating levels of testosterone and estradiol are increased by approximately 15% as compared to baseline in the first year of treatment, but these levels are within the physiologic range.

and isnt your front hair more supceptable to this? i dont get that? im only receding in my temples...hmmm

I believe that the Propecia trials showed better results at the vertex than in the front, but the drug 'works' everywhere because it's systemic.
