dutasteride sides are not as bad as fins'

[noorur]

i been on finasteride for 2 months, and dutasteride for 2 months.
whilst on finasteride, i had sides from the third week onwards. then i switched to dutasteride after the second month. now is my second month on dutasteride, and i've experienced absoluely no sides. i can jerk off 5-6 times a day, which i wasn't able to do whilst on finasteride

Perhaps dutasteride is better for you personal? I am still afraid of dutasteride but will start it with the beginning of my xmas holiday.

I think the long term effects with dutasteride may be stronger? Nobody knows.

 

[ugh]

I was on dutasteride for two year...excellent results. But I got gyno...and after being off the drug for six months...no erections at all....be very careful with dutasteride...

your excellent results.... cool!

how much hair did you regrow when you were on dutasteride ?? is it 1 years worth ? 2 years worth ?
did u get any frontal thinning because of it ?
oh and were u on dutasteride alone, or combined with other stuff ?

I grew an astounding amoutn of hair, it was very surreal, but I think you need to focus on the fact that I can no longer have erections and I just paid a plastic surgeon over five grand to remove my gyno. My life had completly been ruined because of dutasteride. Stop taking it now! I am basically a castrated male...I'm being very serious here. I have no urge for sex whatsoever, I can't even get my penis partially hard. Suicide is a very real option for me to be perfectly honest. Was it worth some extra hair...well let me think. Biggest mistake of my short life, which could be ending soon...let me take that back my life has already ended, just not in the physical sense yet.

 

[blaze]

Ugh, man that sucks. I feel for you man.

I can only hope that things get better. But if you are serious, suicide is not the answer. If you want to talk PM me.

Also, when did u first start noticing gyno when u were on dutasteride?
And did u let the gyno get bad, or was it just some puffy nipples?

thanks and best of luck

how many years were u losing hair for before you got on dutasteride ? where were u on the norwood scale before u got on dutasteride and where were you just before u quit dutasteride ?

oh and i know how u feel. i sometimes feel very sh*t about myself, because i look 30-40 already, and i am only 20

 

[ugh]

I still have a damn good head of hair, I started using dutasteride when I was 23 and had some diffuse thinning. I started noticing gyno around july of 2004, I didn't have any gland, but I had a noticible amount of breast tissue there. No question it looked like boobs...horrible to look at. Mostly becaue other than that I was in awesome shape. My main thing is I just want to feel like a man again, right now I'm this asexual robot who has no feeling whatsoever,...its HORRIBLE!!!.

 

[JWM]

Ugh

Was your diffuse thinning in the front or crown? Also were you using minoxidil?

One more thing:

When did your gyno and sexual problems appear? You were on the drug for 2 years right? Did they suddenly develop at the tail end of the second year?

 

[tu pac]

ugh!
first all I would like to thank you for sharing that private information I found that very brave of you to do so.It really shows the dangers of these powerful drugs we intake in hopes of a better head of hair. Though some of us may think were fine cause no physical signs are present that does not mean these drugs are not effecting are bodys in other ways which are most likely not benificial to us.I thought of taking dutasteride for short time but came to realize its severe potential side effects.My Doctor gave me the no when I asked for dutasteride and Im happy she did so,cause at that point I was very deperate and sometimes you really need to take time to make an important decsion that in your case severly effected your life.MY causin is a pharmacist in Cali who is 31 had 1 hair transplant and takes propecia he wants hair more than I do when asked about dutasteride he strongly advised me not to that in long term use he believes can cause all types of physical problems that can potentially become fatal.

Gyno and sexual problems appeared at different times. I started having erection problems pretty quick...although I was stil able to have sex...things just declined slowly till I had NO DESIRE AT ALL. My friends literally thought I was going gay, they still think I'm gay I think. Gyno appeared about 15 months in to the treatment...no real warning...they just kinda appeared. Don't take dutasteride if you want a happy life.
