Has anyone switched between generic and brand name dutasteride? I switched from generic to brand avodart a 1.5 months ago and feel its worse now

Just really scared that I made a bad choice. Seems there's reports of people who go from brand dutasteride and finasteride to generic versions and things got worse but I haven't read of the reverse.

I hear this allegation fairly often. Generics usually work fine but filler differences can make things absorb less well or perhaps not at all.

I think all that you can do is sourced the brand name version.

If it is bunk, you won't find out for AT LEAST a couple months because dutasteride has a ridiculous half life. If it's only been a couple days or even weeks it's not long enough to tell. I would wait another month.
