I’ve been on fin 1mg daily for 8 weeks only - then head of penis became sensitive and was little bit painfull to urinate or ejaculate. i did try to skip the dose for 3days and it was getting better, started again and pain was worse. so i stopped it completely 3 weeks ago and now all is back to normal. anyone got similar problem? i’m thinking to go very low and start again on 0.25 maybe

I had the same and even more side effects, but with Saw Palmetto, helped me lower the dose and after a while it was fine.

You can go even lower than 0.25mg, you can try 0.1mg, see if your side effects are tolerable for a month, wait until you have no side effects, then take a higher dose and repeat the cycle. Even 0.1mg blocks about 40% of DHT, so it will do its work and you don’t have to be scared, that you waste one month.
