Bill - Seemiller Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Michael, Congrats on getting your mojo back! I'm sure all 3 of your ex-girlfriends will be happy now . Taking finasteride every other day is certainly an option. Some well respected hair transplant doctors such as Dr. Wong have recommended this for some of their patients. What prevents me from personally doing it - is I've been taking finasteride 1mg per day for 3 years. I simply question whether or not cutting down will cause me to lose some of the hair below the crown. I suppose I take a "if it's not broken, don't fix it" approach. But certainly if you are experiencing side effects from the meds - it's worth a shot. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member finnari Posted August 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 28, 2007 Dr. Keene told me you should take finasteride daily for a year then its okay to take every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member calvinmd Posted August 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 28, 2007 Finasteride seems to be essentially a trade-off: More hair for more side-effects. The recommended dosage of 1mg per day doesn't seem to be based on anything medical, but rather just picking a point on a chart that seemed like a decent balance between the two issues. You can split pills into pieces if you want. For example, half a milligram seems to have most of the effects of a whole milligram. The stuff can last for more than a day, so you can take a given amount every other day if you wish. But I don't think I'd wait two days between doses. ------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
