Flame: I wouldn't ever take PM again, myself. However, that is because I like being able to breath. I consider it to be far better at what it does than the herbal anti-androgens, though. In my opinion, that is why many people can grow on just PM. Its anti androgenic properties are somewhat underrated. While with something like SP or spearmint, it will only be effective in combination with other herbs (i.e. hops, PM, FG, etc.) Basically, I'm not anti-PM if it works for you with no side-effects, which it certainly seems to in most people.

Clara- The 5 mg tabs are the way to go. Buying it like that is a far cheaper option than the 1mg tabs. I'd say 2.5mg daily is a fine dose, altthough like anything YMMV. Personally, I split the 5mg pills into fourths and take two of those fourths a day. Also, when you factor in the shipping, inhousepharmacy.biz is usually a bit cheaper. ADC's prices are lower, but they charge for shipping while inhouse doesn't to the continental US. Btw, I've also talked to a board member who took only 1.25 mg a day of fincar, but they were on estradiol depot shots...which would be a good deal more potent than either oral E or PM.

Of course, you could always complain to your doctor about thinning hair at some point to save some money....although fincar isn't that expensive online anyways.
