How did you get reduced hairfall but also rapid thinning? As in that seems contradictory. Just curious what is going on since duta was very effective for me which seems logical since it nukes DHT, and would be interesting to know why you got a different reaction.

Strange. I did some quick research which suggested maybe telogen effluvium due to hormonal changes. If you haven't already, ask a good AI agent.

Yeah I looked up testosterone and it seems it's not so much of a factor, hence the edit. So if you have low T then you also have low DHT which would explain the beard issues since DHT is the main driver there, but the hair seems unusual as if there is another cause for that.

I am also very sensitive to the side effects of DHT blockers - tried spironolactone for a short spell and also noticed it from that. But duta worked great for me. No point you using if it doesn't work but for libido I find vit D3 so effective I actually don't take it anymore, so it could be...

If you get generics and a few months at a time I doubt you'll find anything cheaper overall.

United pharmacies.

Worked very well for me but side effects were too much. I do wonder if E2 could be monitored/controlled it might be worth another try, maybe with vit D3 for libido.

I thought this happened for me after stopping dutasteride as I had no loss for a good few months, but eventually it returned. Assume it was the long half life of duta. You are very lucky though, congrats on beating the disease.

Based on what? It nukes DHT more effectively than finasteride, ergo it's generally more effective.

It worked well for me for years. I only stopped because of side effects.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32897622/ This is the study I was referring to. I am only doing it to improve min penetration. If you're trying to hit the follicle then you'll need longer. I'm also using a derminator so depths will be more consistent than a manual roller. It's pretty difficult...

Animal studies are ethically atrocious and also dumb AF since they can't replicate male pattern baldness. These dickheads should just try it on themselves.

IME no. When I stopped I had no immediate hairloss for a few months. My guess is because it has a long half life and/or other stuff to do with hair growth phases.

May as well use minoxidil straight after stamping IMO. You're making holes for it to permeate so that should be most effective straight away. But just my bro science opinion. I think actual studies suggest 0.6mm was most effective depth for dermarolling but DYOR. Longer needles seem to be used by...
