Thinking about starting propecia

In order to reduce the chance of side effects and general decreased efficiency from Reflex Hyperandrogenicity, it seems the best way to minimise the chances of these two things happening is to begin taking fin at smaller doses, or to taper on. I was wondering for how long, and at what amounts should I begin? Halves, or even quarter doses? And for weeks or months?And if I were to only choose half a dozen blood tests beforehand (propeciahelp.com lists lots and lots of them, I'm sure that would cost a fortune), which would be the best?

Thanks

All drugs have some risk to them, it's a case of doing your research and deciding if it's for you. Some people will die from Penicillin whilst the majority benefit from it.
I've not read about the blood tests beforehand, if you are worried you can start off by reducing the amount you take, ie half a mil a day and see how it goes.
I've been on Proscar for 8/9 years with no problems.
Hope tat helps.

Yeah, I think as soon as I get a few blood tests done, I'll start on it for a year, and see where that gets me.

Well you can use minoxidil lotion along with propecia. Also you can use massage exercise and proper nutritional diet will help you out gaining your hair back.
