Will dutasteride just destroy me if I get almost every possible side effect even from finasteride?

I didn't use anything for 45 days, almost fully recovered from my last attempt to use finasteride.
I just can't tolerate this crap.
I get almost every possible side effect from finasteride including full face of acne while having a clean skin as a baseline.

But I can't accept that I'm balding aggressively and most like will be a diffuse NW5 in maybe ~5 years.

My temple peaks or what's left of them are also getting worse and worse and slowly moving towards my ears. My crown is slowly balding too.

Most likely dutasteride will give me even more severe side effects than finasteride or should I try it?

Dont try it. Its definately worse. I have tried both. You should only try topical treatments from now on trust me on this. Btw dutasteride made my hair worse. But topical finasteride give bad sides too so u can only use low dose maybe x2 weekly or x1 weekly.

Maybe. There are plenty of anecdotal stories over the years of guys who just couldn’t handle any Finasteride but then switched to dutasteride and were able to tolerate it. Unfortunately you won’t really know unless you try it.
