Did you ever try finasteride, and if so, what were your results?
I am so tempted to try dutasteride now because of this thread. I also only have hairline recession and it mostly occurred this last year.
ajnar said:great results. thanks for the post and updates, really convinced me to give dutasteride a shot.

Thankyou, it's great to hear. It annoyed me this time last year when I struggled to find anything with pictures to prove dutasteride alone showed real re-growth, hope some peoples perceptions have changed from the rumours.

Alright mate, firstly I havn't ever had side-effects, didn't even think it was working untill i noticed my hair groing back.
Also, there are a few reasons why everyone doesn't use it, dutaseride isn't neccessarly proved for hairloss , i think due to the patent been too similar to finasteride, so it never was released as a hairloss drug, however it obviously does do the job, and better than propecia (as it inhibits nearly an extra 30% DHT), so doctors simply won't prescribe it to you, therefore you'll have to buy it from the internet which people don't like.
Second dutasteride has never been tested in the long-run, especially on young males like me and you as it is designed to give people 50+, so they could be side effects in long-term use.
Half-life is way way longer than propecia, propecia is a few hours, dutasteride is a couple of weeks, so if you got side-effects from dutasteride, you'll have to stick with them for a good month or two before they dissappeard unlike finasteride where sides would go in a few days.
The possible side-effects are the same as finasteride, but will last much longer, if you don't know the general sides they are erectile dysfunction, lowerd libido and man tits. Though this is a very small minority of people. 2% to be exact. Ofcourse all these sides with dutasteride and finasteride dissappear after stopping useage, also most dissappear once you get used to the drug.
Lastly cost, you could get six months of dutasteride for around £250, finasteride (proscar) could get six months for about £45.

No problem, I chose this product because with my hairloss been rather advance for my age, and with early male pattern baldness running in the family, i felt propecia wouldn't hault my hairloss. Which also answers your question no I have never tried propecia.
And no I'm not worried about 'long-term' side effects becuase my educated guess is there isn't any long-term side effects. Sure there may be a possibility, but dutasteride ant finasteride aren't very different and work in the exact same way.
Plus there are some males with a genetic defect who were never born with DHT who live full length, normal lives. Which is the main reason I believe once you get through puberty and have fully developed into maturity there isn't very much to wory about.
thomson_adam said:cheers again mate...
do people cycle dutasteride/finasteride like you would a course of steriods . just to give your body a rest.
are there people who dont get any effects off finasteride , just everywhere i read its people using scare tactics
alex_NYC said:Hey guys,
just wanted to say your results are inspiring.
I started losing my hair around 20. Started on propecia at 22. Now I am 26 and have noticed that it's really stopped working. Just about to start dutasteride today and will keep you posted with the results.
a couple questions however:
how long did it take for you to start noticing a decrease in hair loss/hair re-growth after starting the dutasteride?
how would you go about tapering the propecia? i was thinking about taking it and dutasteride for about a week together and then stopping the propecia. any other ideas?
thanks,
a

Thankyou very much!
It took me around 4 months untill I started noticing any re-growth, I also noticed my shower plug was no longer getting blocked with hair.
If i was you, I'd just dive straight into the deep end. But thats just me, I doubt you'd notice much difference from the extra 20% DHT suppression, however to be sensible I'd take finasteride and dutasteride on alternate days and untill about the month mark go daily on dutasteride, just to make sure you don't get side effects your not willing to ride.
