Hey everyone, Do you know if Finasteride has been found to work with lower dosages than 1mg per day? I've been taking 1mg/day for years (like 10), and I do suffer from some sexual side effects. Not horrendous, but definitely some. If my side effects never got any worse, I'd be okay. But, I'm very concerned about long term.....and getting worse. The recent reports of about Propecia have scared me (even though the test group of 54 men is extremely small). I've had 2 previous HT. The Fin has kept my "original" hair looking good. I KNOW it works and has prevented, or slowed down big time, further loss. I'm thinking about stopping Fin but am scared too death that once I do my hair will fall out (I know of a guy that was taking Fin for years, like me, and stopped cold turkey....in 6 months he was almost bald). So, if anyone has any info on the effectiveness of Fin at LOWER dosages, please let me know. I'd like to start cutting my 1mg/day in half and see what results I get - both my hair and the sexual side effects, but if lower dosages have shown to have the same effect sexually as the higher dosage, then what's the point. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Mike, I appreciate the feedback.

I live in Maryland and am interested in getting a consultation from the best hair restoration surgeon/clinic in the Washington DC Metropolitan area (DC, Northern VA, Baltimore, etc.). Dr. Vogel appears to be great. Any others that I should consider? Thanks so much!
