We all seem to have got probems which intensify after stopping because we just stopped like that.
Has anyone ever tapered the dose and still had problems? I can only see about one guy on here who has.
This is the most dangerous drug in the world to stop cold, that’s about the main thing we have learned with any certainty. You would probably get away with it once or twice but have definite problems after that.
After 2 months of use at 1 mg/day I noticed reduced libido and some loss in function so I cut the dose in half. Continued on a half dose (0.5 mg/day) for several months. For the last 7 pills I took a half (0.5) every other day.
Felt better for maybe a week, maybe two, then things got worse than during the first 2 months and anorgasmia/reduced function started me down the path…
My doc indicates there was no difference in taking 1 mg vs taking 0.5 mg.

I’m just gonna second what Kazman said, as I had a similar experience. I never actually planned on quitting propecia, I just had my supply run out. So, naturally, I started to cut it into quarters (was already taking it in halves to “avoid side effects” 
) in the hope that I could keep taking the drug until the next batch came in the mail. Obviously it didn’t happen in time and within a day after running out everything went to hell.
I’ve noticed some users here seem to have come to the conclusion that if only they had weened off they would have completely avoided the post-fin problems. Based on my experience, I would disagree. For what it’s worth, however, my post-fin experience hasn’t been quite as severe as with some others… 10 months off and I’d say I’m around 60-66%… a D-, but at least not failing.
Do you think you would have been fine if you just stayed on propecia? For some, it seems like going off is the issue, not staying on. I was on for many years with few side effects. I then missed a week - when i went back on brain fog appeared and has been an issue for a month now. I’d go off but I’m worried it could just make things worse.
Yeah I quit after noticing bad sexual sides- weak erection, watrey jism-found this site, paniced and quit.
Should have gone to the doctors straight wawy instead of waiting til I crashed, think if I had stayed on the poison it might have been beneficial as I would have quit muh more slowly and in a more relaxing environment.
I haven’t seen anyone get really screwed up, penile damage, extreme brain fog, physical problems etc, after a slow tapering of dose.
