Finasteride To Dutasteride (ex-long Term finasteride Users)

[Oriol]

I think that most long term users just come to a point where they just stop coming here or just take a quick look very rarely.

That's probably why I only found a few stories from long term users in the internet

Hope that's a sign that things are working for them!

Bump!

My dutasteride finally came in after delays. Gonna give it a go for the next 6+ months.

No sides on the Dutas or Duprost I got.

Anyone done blood tests on those?

1 - 15 years on Finasteride.
2 - I had GREAT results. The combination of Finasteride + minoxidil basically halted my hair loss for those 15 years.
3 - For the last 10 months my hair loss has accelerated dramatically. I basically went from thick, great hair to thin, diffuse hair, particularly in the front and crown area. The hair loss has been associated with an itchiness and tingling in the scalp. Unfortunately, it seemed like my old regimen was no longer working so I needed something stronger and I switched from Finasteride to Dutasteride
4 - I take 0.5mg of Dutasteride daily.
5 - I have not seen any results with Dutasteride yet and my hair loss has progressed badly.
6 - Been on Dutasteride for a little over 2 months. Hopefully that's too short to determine how helpful it will be. I still try to use minoxidil in my regimen, but my scalp seems very sensitive to it now after years with no problems.

Hey @Deshawness, 15 years on Finasteride is already a tremendous success.

When you started finasteride, did you had any initial shed?

I hope Dutasteride works for you! Fingers crossed!

Thx iamgotham. I don't exactly remember if I had an initial shed with Finasteride. Like you said, it was a long time ago.

So, after the first days with Dutasteride, how do you feel?

 

[iamgotham]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about giving Dutasteride a shot!

Dutasteride users, please share your story with us!

 

[iamgotham]

I made the switch! Took 40 pills of Dutasteride in the last 40 days. I'm still shedding and I really think that my hairline got worse. Things are not looking good here

@iamgotham
I stopped finasteride about 1.5 weeks ago. Justbuilding up the balls to start dutasteride. How long did u take finasteride before switching? How long after stopping finasteride did you start taking dutasteride?

How has duta worked for you bro?

How has duta worked for you bro?

I quitted after 2 months due to some sides. However I was really stressed at the time and I'm not sure if they were real or just in my head (I was also a bit paranoid).

Actually I decided to give it another try and I should start taking it again next month (October) in combination with Finasteride... Hopefully I'll see some results.

I switched from finasteride to Duta fairly recently. but am taking one every other day and i haven't noticed any change like side effects or anything. everything just seems to be carrying on the way it was when i took finasteride.

Had a scalp itch with finasteride and have a scalp itch with Duta. still losing hair.

I remember i was really worried about taking Duta because i thought id get side effects because its meant to be much stronger then Finasteride... but really nothing has changed.

 

[iamgotham]

Hey @neddy2016, thanks for the feedback!

For how long have you been taking Dutasteride? 1 month? 2 months?

Usually the first cosmetic changes start to appear during the 4th month... Stick to the treatment and hopefully you will see some positive changes!
