El Duterino - have you tried using oral dutasteride and RU simultaneously before? I am currently using both and wonder if this is overkill and/or potentially dangerous. I am seriously considering switching to finasteride and CB; I wonder what your view is on this, having used all of the above treatments? RU initially gave me shortness of breath and heart palpitations, and I am concerned about the long-term consequences of this (have been using for 6 years).
