Dizziness after 2 weeks of being on Propecia, what to do?

Hey guys,

I finally started Finasteride after 5 years of hesitation (and a lot of lost hair). I've been on 0.5 mg of Propecia every other day (MWF) for the past 2 weeks. 

Just today in the morning, I woke up and felt really dizzy. This went on for the next 2 hours and then everything subsided. It's the first time I've experienced this since I started. Should I be concerned? Anyone had a similar story?

Are you sure that’s propecia? Sounds more like a minoxidil side effect.

Hi Melvin,

I've been on Minoxidil for the past 9-10 years and I don't think I've ever experienced that. I only use Minoxidil once a day at night before going to bed.

Try using it in the morning, and see if you notice a difference.
