hey guys, im wondering if anyone has expereinced what I am experiencing.. I took propeica for about 8 months, had mild sides.. decided to stop taking it...and was back to normal within a week.. maybe 2.. While being off it for about 3 weeks, I decided I would try it again with a lower dose.. .25 everyday instead... I started on Monday and had sides by saturday.. so I stopped and now it is taking a lot longer to get back to normal.. its been 4 weeks now.. I can get an erection, althougth i would say my libido and my sex drive are still very low.. im starting to worry a little bit and am trying not to but if anyone has any advice for me, I'd appreciate it.. or if anyone has been in the same situation..

thanks

I've heard it can take a month to a month and a half. It's scary, right?

Let me know how it works out as I'm also considering re-trying it on a far lower dose.

yea im starting to get pretty worried.. just went on propeciahelp.com.. uh not a good idea.....

hi brentipold,

yeah thats definitely not a site you want to visit if you are concern with your sides. give it some time i guess and like you told me just think positive and not focus on it as much.

I will definatly try.. how's you're situation green?

brentipold,

Hard to say, somedays I think my body is getting use to the drug and things are going to normal and sometimes i think i might be having issues. well today will be my third week and i am going to go for another week on it and that take me to one month. I'm thinking of switching to EOD after that, but today I felt good. My erection felt strong like before propecia, so hopefully it stays that way and I am starting to get some morning wood back but its not that frequent and its not that strong. I also started to take multi-vitamins so maybe thats helping out.

I had bad sides on 1mg a day so now take .5 eod and have been for 5 months and my hair thickness has improved.I saw a chart that showed .5mg was only 10% less effective than 1mg and the dose curve for 48 hours was virtually a straight line so why take it every day ??.Lots of guys take it eod with success so if you cant tolerate the recommended (not neccessarily the best) dose tinker around with it because it is a strong drug and can work wonders for thin hair.Also one dose although with a half life of about 6 hours in your blood keeps DHT lowered for 72 HOURS to a week from the reports I have read.

yes but you must understand that doesnt work for everybody as I just said i took .25 and still had sides..

and green i dont mean to sound like a broken record, but I to had the same effects through the first month as you already know.. if you are thinking of lowering dosage after a month, i wouldnt stop for 3 weeks like I did. just continue with the lower dosage mwf.. maybe even try .25 at first.. that way if you dont expereince sides you kn you're safe.. i suppose..
