Nickypoo's Story (22/ 3.5 Years Update Full Temple Regrowth - Duasteride)
Don't see many Dutasteride people on here, so I hope you find my progress insightful.
I take genuine Avodart 0.5mg/s every other day and I have used one bottle of Nizoral Shampoo 2% ketoconazole at the beginning of my treatment.
I do not take minoxidil or any other topical treatments.
I get my Avodart from
http://www.drmpharmacy.com
I have not experienced any side effects what so ever, and I have never had a 'shed'.
Here is my hairline at age 12, always a prominent Norwood 2.

Month 4
View attachment 62555
The darkened areas with small black hairs at the temples were totally miniaturised from male pattern baldness and non-visible before any treatment.
They have thickened slightly up to my natural hairline. I am optimistic in the coming months these hairs will thicken to restore a full hairline.
I hope “Avodart the hairline destroyer” myth can be put aside, Dutasteride isn't as scary as people claim in terms of side-effects or temple loss in my experience.

Month 5
I am now coming up to my fifth month on Dutasteride, and my hairline is still thickening rather rapidly.
I no longer feel like a balding 18 year old and I couldn't be happier.
I've grew my hair out quite long now about up to my eyes length which was impossible before due to the temples been so thin.
Still no side effects or sheds to report.

This is how my hair is styled.

Month 6
It was my 19th birthday last week, and I have experienced lot's of regrowth this month.
My right temple has pretty much filled in completely and I am back to my normal hairline on this side. My left side has a little to catch up, but I'm positive it will have thicken up in time.
I have so much more hair now than this time last year, life is just so good at the moment and I just hope my hair stays this way for a long time to come!

2 years - 2 months update
Hello everyone, it Has been such a long time since I was last here, as promised, I will keep everyone up to date with my results to keep some good Dutasteride information available.
So it has now been 2 years and 2 months since I took my first Dutasteride tablet, I still take 0.5mg every other day of genuine Avodart from the same pharmacy mentioned above.
I haven’t used Nizoral in about a year and a half, or any other product, just Dutasteride alone, no side-effects, sheds or anything else to report.
I hadn't noticed my hair getting any thicker, but from these pictures it seems my hair more or less has fully restored at the temples. I am no longer paranoid about my hair, or even think about it falling out anymore, I guess you could call me cured.

3 years - 6 months update
As promised, I will keep returning to my post every once in a while to give an update.
It has been 3 and a half years since I took my first Avodart pill, 22 years old now, where does the time fly?
I am still maintaining all the hair I had grew back, I thought there were no changes in my hair at all, but from he look of these progress picture it seems it has thickened up a little more, this is surprising because I have gotten really sloppy with my Avodart intake, I have averaged around 1 every other 3 days. Not for any particular reason I just take one when I remember.
Still no side-effects, no shedding.

My health and fitness regime has been upped even more so and I am still improving in this area, no negative experiences from the Avodart and muscle mass increasing.
So if you have any questions on my experience, Dutasteride or health & fitness I'll be more than happy to help. Thank you for reading my story, hope it is insightful for you all.
