About To Get On Dutesteride From Finasteride, A Few Questions

[countjulian]

My situation is bad. The difference is not night and day but I am losing ground on my current regime. Current photos attched. I am currently on 1.1 mg on fina, 20 mg of minoxidil, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, a topical concoction of 5% topical minoxidil, topical fina, tretinoin and latanaprost, as well as 5% minoxidil topical, and ketacozonole cream after the shower. I run out of fina in 43 days and will be jumping to dutasteride. Questions:

1. Is there any advantage to .5 mg duta vs 1mg?
2. Should I expect good results here?
3. If this doesn't work and quite the drugs and I shave my head, how long will dutas be in ny system?
4. Will I get a body accomodation period like I got with fina?
5. Do I have any hope left? Thanks for your answers.

Wow I spelled "dutasteride" wrong, great job countjulian.

 

[countjulian]

Any fina to duta success stories? I could really use some morale here.

As soon as I get a little breathing room at work I am going to add in derma wounding and RU. I think that should get me back to a presentable head of hair.

 

[countjulian]

do you guys think I have improved?

 

[whatintheworld]

Yes there is improvement, slow but steady!

At some point you may want to look into transplants, but see first what your current regimen does after a year total on it.
