When I inject with a larger gauge syringe I can clearly hear the snap, crackle, pop
Maybe that's the sound of your last brain cell exploding?

So I've been on finasteride for a year, with continued recedeing, shedding, etc.
Nothing's changed, and now I'm considering trying dutasteride instead. Do you think it's worth a shot?
Is there anyone here that tried finasteride, didn't work, then started dutasteride and his luck suddenly changed? Or knows someone like t
To actually answer your question, as it seems like everyone else is just arguing on your thread, I think you should give it a go. I was on finasteride for like 2-3 years (started at 20 years old) before switching to dutasteride. Finasteride didn't do anything for me, and even felt like my hairloss accelerated. Started dutasteride around 5 years ago...am 28 now. It seems to be working much better than finasteride for me. Still losing hair and hairline slowly receding with some diffuse thinning but much slower than before. Felt like I had some sides such as lower libido on finasteride as well, while none on dutasteride. Overall it has been a much better drug for me.

Holy **** my thread is 7 pages!
What the hell. Last time I was here there were maybe 5 replies, didn't really get my answer and moved on.
Now I get back and find that my flame still glows.
So emotional.
I wanna thank everyone for keeping it alive.

On a serious note:
Thanks dralex, it's exactly what I wanted to hear 7 pages ago. I'll try it.
