Here is my story - I am 20 year old Caucasian male who suffers from very bad hair loss since like 16 years old, you could say at 19 years old I went completely bald, and even my side and donor hair area is very thin and weak. I only went to dermatologist like 5.5 months ago, She mentioned that my kind of hair loss isnt even suitable for hair transplant, and prescribed me Proscar and minoxidil, also PRP injections every 3 weeks, for first 3 months, since then i do see some improvements, existing thin hairs became thicker slowly and i have baby hairs coming on my temples, overall the improvement has been slow but steady, not massive regrowth but regrowth at some point id say, what is most important is that i havent experienced any side effects from Proscar, i cut it to take close to 1mg a day. About week ago I started to think maybe if finasteride is giving me some results, maybe Dutasteride will give me even more results so why not, so 5 days ago I bought Avodart and took 0.5 mg a day for 3 days, and on my third day(after taking third pill) i felt bad feeling from my scrotum, and BOOM my libido and function to get erect is completely gone. day after im having again bad feelings, not only from scrotum but throughout whole body, of course i gave up on avodart, then again day later i have this bad feeling throughout body but less, and today you could say its completely gone, However i am able to achieve erection, if i try real hard and it is less ''solid'',

So my question is how soon should i expect complete recovery? since it was only 3 pills, Could it be 1-2 weeks? Any idea what my next steps should be ? Since I have very aggressive hair loss im thinking to even get on finasteride again once i feel avodart side effect is gone, all the experienced people, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Also , is it true that Tribulus can help with this issue?

PS. If anyone is interested I could post photos of my head.

Tribulus and Tadalafil May help
Also hard exercise
Dur has a half life of at least 3 weeks

If I remember correctly, dutasteride's halflife is dose-dependent, so I would expect the half-life to be shorter in this case. It shouldn't take that long to get back to pre-dutasteride levels of ar/dht-inhibition, especially for type 1. Probably stating the obvious, but I would lay off finasteride for a while.

I feel dutasteride out of system more and more daily and im going back on finasteride starting today, Just ordered RU58841 and KB from anagenic, I feel like I have to try everything out there... also i dont know if its illusion but when i look closely in the mirror, all of my completely bald spots is covered with black baby hairs, so im thinking RU may help them to grow out,

have you ever taken RU or plan to ?

dutasteride nuked my libido too, after a couple weeks I had no urge to fap for the first time in my life for the full 3 months on it. Could still have sex but 70% boner that could go easily. Shame because I felt great on it otherwise. Give it a few weeks off and don't worry about it.
