Thanks for that. I read about people cutting up 5mg into 5 or 6 parts before but the claims that your body only needs around 0.2-0.8 twice a week would lengthen that to around ?5 per month-ish if it's true.

Taking ANY pills to alter body chemistry is against everything I stand for. I barely take paracetamol for headache but would taking the Finasteride be the only drug I'd realistically have to take after my HT?

Fingers crossed they email me back soon. I want full growth of my hair for my 40th next May!

I was also wondering, does EVErYONE have these sexual side effects or is only like 1% of the people? If u read paracetamol side effects etc that's almost as scary so just looking gauge probable things to look for. Anything over 5% of people with any of these issues with 0.8 - 1mg (although I think the side effects relate to 5mg daily?) and I think I'll take my chances with HT and wait...:then another...more costly in the end but I finally get a full head of hair should it ever all fall out and the added bonus of having the ladies enjoy me without (I hate saying it) gubbed erections...

Dr. Craig Ziering is a former buddy of Dr. Matt Leavitt from the infamous Medical Hair Restoration.

MHR was acquired by Bosley several years ago. These two very large chains were former competitiors with Bosley still doing their "infomercials" at the present time.

Dr. Ziering worked at the Manhattan office for MHR for many years. He also worked in their founding Chicago office. He later moved to California when he left MHR back in 2003 or so.

Craig's not on the list of UK surgeons but from what I hear, Dr.furiduni is a lot better and skilled than any of the Uk clinics and if he isnt, the UK really needs to put some money into marketing for its surgeons because due to lack of positive info, I'm choosing to go to Belgium.

I posted both these posts on another thread but , i feel there are apropriate here also

Take it or don't it's up to you at the end of the day , , if you get sides then stop talking it and shave your head , oh and stop reading everything on the bloody internet , you'll seriously start to IMAGINE THE SIDES THEN SUFFER ONE FLOP ON THROUGH YOUR OWN ANXIETY AND BLAME THE MEDS !

I have taken finasteride since 2006 , firstly 1.25mgs daily , then 1mg daily , now 0.8 mgs daily , without anymore hairloss .

I have suffered no sexual sides , no loss of libido and no loss of erections , I wank everyday , I have a hot girl , I have sex a couple of times a week .

Due to wanting a family , I have recently had my sperm , testosterone and thyriod checked , all where above average , sperm count 140 million , between 20-200 million is normal , my thyriod is normal , my testosterone was well within the perameters of normal .

My sperm got more watery when I started finasteride , my girl said it DID taste different , and it's more runny , so what ?

I also lost some trouble some thick dark hairs that had started growing on my back , arms and hands around the same time I started to notice my hair on my head falling out , but really who the fuck wants a hairy back and a bald head ?

I have also had my prostate glad checked , it is fine , as it should be at my age .

Finasteride is also used for reducing enlarged prostrates , to stop them cracking which can lead to cancer , a side effect of this , is reduced DHT and regrowth of hair in balding men .

Spanker (Replied on the other thread )( snigger at the appropriate online name hahaha ) is absolutly right , you are making this into far more of a big deal than it has to be , take or don't take it , your choice , your hair .

Just make sure if you have any sides that they are NOT from your over active mind !

Be really really honest with yourself and decide whether any sides are physical or mental , but you'll be fine , watery sperm and alot more hair , easy .

Pm me if you want my number and I'll talk to you over the phone bud , but calm down , freaking out won't help anybody !

And another thread which I feel is relivent also ..........

It was me who adviced that 5mg finasteride tablets can be cut into six pieces and used as 0.8mgs daily .

Below have provided photographic evidence to back up my claims .

This is my kit , nothing out of the ordinary , standard pill cutter , standard daily pill box , 5mg finsateride , and cut neatly into 6 pieces , easy , without fuss and far from just dust left .



This is a standard , bladed pill cutter which can be purchased from any high street chemist for 2.99 UK pounds .



This is a scaled close up of my 5mg finasteride tablets cut in 6 pieces .



I buy my finasteride from a very respectable online source , spex also uses the same place as do many other finasteride users , they sell propecia , proscar and finasteride , so there is a wide range of hairloss medication to chose from , and to suit all pockets .

UKfinsateride.info

I hope this healps clear up any confusion and going to belgium is a good idea .

Thanks bud. My bodys a temple 'n all that but I still have a thick head of hair and sex is my favourite thing next to kite surfing and Battlestar Galactica re-runs. Panic, of course I did but I've settled into the "go for it" mentality. I'm looking at Fernasteride as temporary because I feel in the next few years theres gonna be some cell activation drug out there so I'm writing and believing my own press right now hehe

Top man , but seriously starbuck and a young face from the A-team or the new version ? hahahaaha

I think we all start with finasteride and hope that the cell research will find the holy grail of a cure .

And remember it's called finasteride not fernasteride , thats a totally different drug used for curing genital warts ! hahahahaha

Seriously I'm joking about the warts !

Dr Feriduni is a top surgeon. It would be a wise choice considering him.

WOW, that has to be some of the most "neatly cut" proscar that I have ever seen done. That will save lots of money!
