I am also taking 2.5mg here... mostly because the 1mg pills are considered for "cosmetic" reasons and they cost more than the 5mg pills, which are considered primarily for use in shrinking the prostate. So my doctor gave me the 5mg pills, which I split and take half daily.

From what I have read the effects of fin don't get markedly better by taking more than necessary, which is usually around the 1mg mark. The gains beyond that are reportedly minimal, but then again so are any side effects.
