If I was on finasteride for 1 year and decided to switch over to dutasteride...what is the proper way to do this? should i abruptly stop finasteride and just start with dutasteride? or shoudl i slowly taper off the finasteride while taking dutasteride everday?

Funny thing I noticed on the medicallwellnesscenter website is they routinely warned AGAINST taking both dutasteride and finasteride together...it said more than once NOT to take finasteride while you take dutasteride...can anyone speculate as to why? I dont see any harm in doing so...other than harming your pockets.

So don't do it then. I mean you said you make 50k a year so just get the MWC script and pay for it at the US pharmacy. If you don't wanna take it every day then take it every other and then you're only paying $450 a year anyway for the real thing.

i took finasteride along with dutasteride for two weeks to ease into it but i don't think its really necessary. maybe you should just do what i did though.

Yes i read this but i see no Success Picture! why??
JayMan Ok but he says he is a very Good minoxidil Responder

Many takes dutasteride and have full Hair and sell that for success
Picture from NW6 to NW2 would be Good

Seriously? It is a little unrealistic to expect any med to turn a NW6 into a NW2. It just doesn't happen.

Jayman doesn´t take minoxidil, though imo he is not a good example for a dutasteride responder since he started it very soon before he gave finasteride a real chance. finasteride might have worked as good for him, but Aplunk is a good example, he had very good maintenance with dutasteride and minoxidil, but now had to switch to finasteride and minoxidil again and started to lose ground.

There is no way, one might go from Norwood 6 to Norwood 2, maybe with hair transplants, dutasteride and minoxidil you might be a thin Norwood 2 again. Generally my advice to you if you are Norwood 6: Shave it or kill yourself!

castration only stops hairloss doesnt regrow hair...why are you expecting dutasteride to regrow that much hair? dutasteride is a maintenance drug, if you get on it early enough you should keep your hair for a good while.

Man I hope Timi is psychic. He keeps telling me that I say I'm a very good minoxidil responder. I've never used it. Hopefully Timi is predicting the future.

HTGT I told you what I would do on the first page, if you wanted, so you did get an answer.
