Regular Member lookin Posted February 26, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm 45, and have recently decided that I have to start on Finasteride. I'm not a fan of pills of any kind, but with a little research, I've decided if I'm going to go forward with this HT, I better conserve the hair I DO have left. With that research, I've also decided I'd sooner shave my head bald than have side effects of Finasteride for the rest of my days. So, my question for all of you who have been on it, do you recommend morning or night dosing? For anyone who has experienced side effects, please share what you did to reduce the sides (short of giving up on it). Thanks for your insight!

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted February 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 morning on an empty stomach is best for absorption and also easy to take with other vitamins so easy to remember doesn't seem to make a huge difference though, and not sure what is best time in terms of avoiding sides (that time would also make it less effective conversely) some have complained of sleep issues on it, so another reason to go morning maybe go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Paulygon Posted March 20, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 20, 2014 Does anyone recall Dr. Rassman's study on Propecia.? I think he said that Propecia stays in your body for about 4-5 days.. so if you miss a few doses, it won't have any negative effect... hsrp10's comments on absorption reminded me why absorption is so important.. i have the bad habit of skipping doses (probably because of Rassman's study from several years ago). Paulygon is a former patient of Dr. Parsa Mohebi My regimen includes: HT #1 2710 grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in 2012 Rogaine foam 2x daily, since 2012 (stopped ~10/2015) Finasteride 1.25mg daily, since 2012 (stopped ~12/2015) HT #2 3238 grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in Jun. 2016 Started Rogaine and Propecia in July. 2016 after being off of them for about a year.

Regular Member BeardedOne Posted March 20, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2014 I take it in the morning with other vitamins. I've only taken it a few times at night and found I had an absolutely dreadful sleep every time, very fitful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
