I'm just halfway through a cycle, tbh. Nothing intense in terms of dosages. I didn't know that about Fin. I read somewhere on a looksmaxx forum some of the lads are taking 2mg and some even 5mg because they weren't getting the best results off 1mg. I have personally stuck to 1mg, so far - but only about 4 months in so don't think I've experienced the results I expected and am too impatient. I'll stick with 1mg till March (when this supply runs out) and reassess. Maybe you're right and I'm overdoing it, though? Thanks for your input - I didn't even look into the half life of this medication.
If that's the case I wonder why some of the aforementioned users were needing to up to 2mg and even 5mg? Mind you - they're looksmax fanatics that go for all sorts of shit like Le Fort surgery, fillers, etc so you're talking the hardcore level of determination and maybe I'm letting them sway me too much in terms of gauging reality.
I would just stay the course with what you’re doing. As long as you’re not seeing hair in your hands in the shower, it’s working. It’s not so much the half-life of the drug itself, but the length it binds to the receptors or scalp skin or some shit. I’ll find the hair loss video that I saw a while back where they explain it more. I started taking it because it’s so cheap on these mail order sites
Haven’t re-watched but this might be the one

I think some people run into sides because they already have low T and once that DHT gets knocked down, sexual sides start popping up. Also, you might already know this, but there are some steroids like Deca that you wouldn’t want in your system while taking finasteride
