Basically, i want to take 0.5 worth of fin a day, with the view i might eventually build up to 1mg a day (to stop side effects and just because i think its sensible to start low). I don't want to just jump to a high level, as i would not do this with other drugs. Will this still make the finasteride effective against hair loss? If someone stops after using for a long period, surely it is advised to steadily decrease the dosage over time?

if you mean .5 mg, then yes that should be sufficient enough depending on whether the drug actually works for you or not.
