On paper, you should be fine (theoretically). Finasteride has a long half life, it stays in your system for a couple of weeks I believe. I would recommend that guys try to gradually ease their doses lower instead of making a big jump, then going back up, going down again etc. Try to find the right maintenance dose by reducing things slowly.

If anything, you might try a quarter Proscar twice a week, or an eighth of a Proscar twice a week.

I know some doctors tell their patients to use .5 every day or every other day, so that is a dose that has been legitimized and tested a bit.

Keep a close eye on your hair, hopefully everything is good for the long term and **no worries**

Anyway, today I split my Proscar into 6 pieces which is about 0.85 mg a day. Don't know how it will wkork yet. But a hope it will be just as effective as the tested 1 mg.

Try doing like me and se how it goes or try taking 1/4 Proscar every other day.

BTW: My pain is almost gone as I took a break from finasteride for 7 days. Then lowered the dosage and no signs of any side effects yet...!...

I tried it before for a few months and it was really working well but my supply ran out (this was about a year ago and at the time, it was difficult to get propecia without a prescription). This may seem stupid to some but I was embarrassed to get a prescription because I just don't feel like it's a real medical problem. I'm just being vain wanting to keep my hair. At least, that's how a lot of people see it.

Anyway, I tried to order more from...well, a dodgy source that had worked the first time but the second time just took my money and delivered nothing so I just decided to give up on the problem. Then, about a two months ago, I decided to try again. This time, I think there shouldn't be a problem getting hold of the stuff as there are a lot more reliable distributors now that I know of.

Anyway, what I do is take a pill a night like you're supposed to for the first month and then I change it to one pill every thirty six hours. So, if I take a pill in the morning, then I don't take another one until the evening of the next day. I think that this may be actually working and that the side effects may be due to an overdose. It's not an exact science how much of this stuff each person needs. It may depend on things like body weight, hormone levels etc. Also, by doing it this way, my body is building up less resistence to the drug so my hope is I'll be able to use it for longer and continue to see results. Anyway, that's my overly long reply to a very simple question.
