I finally gave in and purchased fin. I have been scared for years about the side effects, but today I felt like taking the gamble. I'm not sure yet if I should take 1mg daily or split the pills in half and take 0.5mg daily instead, but I'm leaning more towards the latter because I am still nervous about the side effects. Also not sure if I should be starting min at the same time or wait a few months/a year before starting, if anyone has any advice on that it would be much appreciated. I'm 21 by the way for reference. Wish me luck.
