Dutasteride People! Looking for experiences from long term dutasteride users!

So I've been on Dutasteride for a little while now-- switched from finasteride about 6 months ago. I've crushed my DHT (just took lab tests) but am still shedding and miniaturizing. I'm wondering what everyone's experience has been with the drug?
-How long have you been taking it?
-How long did it take to notice it's effects?
-What was/is shedding like?
Thank you all in advance. This forum has been such a safe space for me, and I've learned so much about this shitty condition we all have. Appreciate yall's big ol brains!

I’ve been on dutasteride for 1.5 years now. I found it no better than finasteride on the front and I kept losing rapidly. However it’s been great at the crown.
I now take dutasteride daily and use 80mg cb/ru on the front daily in stemox. Seems to be a shaky (almost) maintenance but I’m grateful for it

Positive experiences from dutasteride:
- Thicker better darker hair
- Increased testosterone (since DHT conversion is blocked)

Problems:
- Erection issues (easily fixed by Cialis)

Are you using RU or CB? How’s the front holding up?
