Regular Member Blower Posted July 20, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted July 20, 2020 hello all/ ive read what i can now on people on different dosage of this drug.. and also different if any side effects. i was on the brand Proscar the 5mg ones split into 4... and not much if any side effects really..maybe my mood and anxiety bit higher than normal i then ran out of Proscar ordered the 1mg UK Finasteride as could not find the Proscar stuff online in UK. started straight off on 1mg never thought nowt of it, but after chatting with a mate andd then reading ip it seemed it caused my depression anxiety worse and no libido am i right these could be stronger pills the with ingredient than prsocar brand? ive read quite alot people do 0.5mg 3 times a week which got me wondering if its enough as some say it stays in system few days so every other day or 3 times a week enough. and also at the does 0.5mg uk brand Finasteride again i see most or alot do 0.5mg every day ie 7 days a week cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member sl Posted July 20, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have known patients on Proscar and cutting it in to 4 or 5 parts with a pill cutter and no issues for years and then go to generic tablets and have sides, even if they claim to be 99.9 percent the same and even people in this field I have spoken to have had issues when changing, so I do believe it is a genuine problem for some. Maybe not many have issues but it is there none the less. 1 I represent Dr. Bisanga.

Propecia for about 6 years - no problem. Proscar for about 2 years - no problem. Aindeem 1mg finasteride for a year - big problems. 1 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Senior Member ciaus Posted September 7, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm in the US and when Propecia went off-patent I switched to whatever 1mg generic the pharmacies around me have been dispensing, never had any issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted September 8, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2020 Sorry to hear that... Have you considered topical fin?

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted September 8, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2020 Still in the research stage myself, but since I've not been able to 100% reverse the effects I want to try to get off the oral fin if possible. 1 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time.
