Headaches on Dutasteride

[Balls]

I've been on Dutasteride about a month. No problems except I started getting headaches a few days ago. I've heard this occurs sometimes, and they aren't really bad - kind of like a hangover. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this and, most importantly, if they have gone away. Thanks.

Hi i have been on dutasteride for 4 mths got no side effects just shedding like hell.
I am also on finasteride 1.25mg a day and with both no side effects.

If you are taking dutasteride, why would you take finasteride too?

Wow, dutasteride and finasteride. No wonder your are fucked up.

Balls - I also had mild headaches or slight light-headedness from dutasteride and, as they felt similar to ones brought on by slight dehydration, I started drinking a bit more water and that did the trick.

It works for me with no side effects and I can afford it

Oni,

Taking both finasteride and dutasteride, do you see any growth yet? or just shedd?
because I am thinking take dutasteride instead of finasteride.


cheers..

I read somewhere that dutasteride reduces both types of DHT and that this is detrimental to the proper production of fluid in the brain.

dutasteride scares me.

It's true that Type I 5ar is present in the brain, and it's not yet known what inhibiting this does to brain function. Just not knowing however is enough to scare me away. Plus, Type I inhibitors such as MK386 were studied and showed no use in stopping hairloss, so why bother risking it is my opinion :?

KK,

I am 5mths into the dutasteride and finasteride and yes I have lots of regrowth even on a small spot on my crown that was going bald. I am still shedding and have been for the last 8 weeks.

The shedding seemed to have started at my crown and worked it's way outwards just the same way I started lose my hair.

I hope this is of some help to you.

PS. I am on Dutas generic (Avodart) for two months and Avodart for the first 3 mouths. I have been taking finasteride 1.25mg aswell (Proscar Quarted) for 5 months.

When do you normally get these headaches? I ask because I used to feel a bit queasy in the morning, and I thought it was due to finasteride. But after a few months, that feeling subsided and I feel fine. But during the time that it was happening I ate something small and, in line with the other advice, drank some water, about an hour after breakfast, which helped a lot.

Good luck.
