01No labelled step-down when mood is the reason
Finasteride 1 mg has no printed taper. Crushing a tablet to 'wean' reopens pregnancy handling and is not a mood protocol.
The stop-loss probe is the hair reversal clock. Use it after you are safe, not instead of the call.
02Why hair gain does not win that visit
A thicker crown is not a reason to sit on new hopelessness, a plan to self-harm, or a sudden collapse in sleep and appetite. Stop the tablet if that is the agreed plan. Seek urgent care if there is a plan or an attempt.
Friends who say 'push to month three' are using the hair clock. Mood is not on that clock.
03Who to call, in order
The prescriber who wrote 1 mg. Urgent care or emergency services if there is suicidal planning. FDA MedWatch if you are reporting an adverse event after you are safe.
Bring the strength. 1 mg is the hair tablet. Do not let a triage note assume 5 mg BPH.
04Reports after the last swallow
Sexual dysfunction that continued after discontinuation is listed separately. Mood reports are not given a tidy 'only on drug' fence in the file. Tell the clinician whether you are still taking 1 mg or already stopped.
This page will not invent a persistence rate. The job is to name the list and send the man to a real visit.
05What the postmarketing psychiatric list says
Nervous system / psychiatric: depression, suicidal ideation and behavior. That is the labelled cluster. It is not a trial Table 1 frequency.
Do not wait for a hair photograph to catch up. The 1 mg vault treats this as a counselling item, not a rumor.
06Does Finpecia 1 mg delete the psychiatric line?
No. Same INN. An insert that stays silent is incomplete, not reassuring. Keep the carton for the visit so the clinician sees finasteride 1 mg.
Do not add an unmarked 'mood support' stack from the same banner. That is a second unknown.
