Propecia

Just did a bit of reading and I’m going to switch from instead of taking the medication every day.. 1.25 mg.. I’m going to take it M-W-F.

I’ve heard this was a suitable dose having to do with the medication causing the DHT to drop for about 3 days.

Anyone else have similar experience with Propecia?

Definitely have some sexual side effects from it.

I have no personal experience with this drug, but would just urge you to read the Wikipedia entry on finasteride before taking it. Most men apparently do ok with it, but a few are permanently harmed, meaning that the bad side effects don’t go away even after you stop taking it. You might also want to Google on post-finasteride syndrome.

Good luck.

This topic has been discussed extensively on the forum over several years. If you search you will find plenty of good discussion. I have been using Propecia for a few years and it has halted my hair loss. The only side effect I have experienced is reduced cum load. Everything else is fine, including erection quality which is off the scale at the moment.

Just took propecia dose from once a day to M-W-F.. already in a few days see an increase in EQ, libido and cum load.

This is interesting. Where did you get the information about the ‘M W F’ routine, and what side effects are you experiencing?

Erections weren’t as hard, libido maybe a little lower but not crazy low because I’m very physically fit and active.

I read about the M W F routine from hair transplant surgeons and other dermatologists who recommend only taking it those days. It has to do less with the half life of the product and more with how long it takes the DHT to rise again in your system.

I’d recommend doing some research if its something you’re interested in.

Gambit- whats your situation at the moment? Improvements? Are you still taking it? I know there is a lot of talk on this forum but a lot of it is old, I’m definitely interested in finding out what the new findings and thinking developments around it are. I’ve heard M-W-F is the favoured routine and also that 0.25mg is almost as effective as 1mg.

Its good to hear that you have seen improvements in you sexual performance but if it persists perhaps think about dropping it a little more. I’m going to start taking it again soon and will be starting at 0.125mg to try and monitor/ catch issues as soon as possible.
