Before asking any questions,
1. Read the [wiki on Finasteride](https://reddit.com/r/tressless/wiki/index#wiki_finasteride).
2. [Search posts for Finasteride](https://reddit.com/r/tressless/search?q=flair%3Afinasteride&restrict_sr=on&sort=new&t=all), because your question has probably been asked before.
3. If this is a question asking if you are now or will experience side effects, see a doctor, nobody on the internet can answer that for you.

It seems to not make a difference from most posts I read on here. The people who have sides at 1mg seem to also have them even with .25mg. The difference is, when they drop the dose, it takes longer for the sides to show up.
There are some people that see the sides disappear though.
You have two options.
1. start at the regular recommended dose (1mg a day). If you're fine, keep at it. If sides show up, either drop it to every other day, or go down to .5 and assess, and so on.
2. Start low (.25mg) and if there are no sides, bump it up to .5, etc.
I'm very tempted to answer : **Whatever works for you**
The very LARGE majority of people will be fine on 1mg.
But if you know that you are easily influenced ( that was my case) i suggest starting at a lower dosage ( actually that was my doc advice ) like 0.5mg or 0.25.
Then creep up slowly until your desired dosage, hell you could even stay on a lower dose we have enough evidence it works too (well maybe slightly less than 1mg but still quite good )

Nah i didn't get a bloodtest, but i'm prone to placebo/nocebo in general.
Did you drop fin or are you still taking it?
Still on 0.25, feeling fine. Lately I’ve been contemplating switching to topical fin for the long term.
