When you make a comment like that, I seriously question your sexuality

Makes sense.

Hello Forum, Long time no see here. It’s been a while since I posted on the forum but just wanted to check in to ask popular opinion on potential side effects of aggressive scalp massage on those of us who have male pattern balding (and are on treatments). I’m just wondering if we should avoid...

I remember reading many years ago on this forum that Norwood 5 is when you have actually entered the realm of requiring a hair transplant for optimum results. If you want to get a hair transplant below Norwood 5 maybe just do a small one. Otherwise drugs and Nizoral Shampoo are your best first...

Links here or in my inbox for where to begin getting a prescription of 2.5 dutasteride from a provider online? But my automatic worry thought is, will my insurance pay for that? I guess only one way to find out. When you say it’s expensive for 2.5 mg dutasteride how much are we talking for one month supply? One...

What a disappointment! Went to see my primary care doctor today for my annual physical. Told him let’s up it to 2.5mg on dutasteride and see what happens. He said no, “0.5 is as high a dose as I feel comfortable prescribing for Dutasteride to treat male pattern loss.” How have other people gotten a...

Okay, makes sense. It sounds like going up to 2.5 mg could be really awesome or really horrible or a combination of all over the place. I’m going to try it. I guess if it messes with me I can go back down to 0.5 mg where I’ve been happy for a few years.

So did you jump from 0.5mg up to 2.5mg overnight or gradually increase dosage over a few week's time?

I'm going to titrate up to 2.5mg just to see what happens, but I don't know if it should be done all at once or gradually increase dosage similar to other styles of drugs.

Yeah I didn't have any sides like that with reproductive stuff. I'm still shootin' ropes. To be perfectly honest I had a vasectomy a few years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm on .5mg with no side effects for a few years, but since you have taken 2.5mg, may I ask how long you were on the 2.5mg and did you have side effects?

Thank you, I'm glad I asked and I'm glad to get an answer from you as one who's been around here a while!

I first started using this forum in 2007 under a different name, and have since lost that account. This place saved my hair, literally. It's sad to see forums slowly fade out. They were so helpful in so many areas of life. And yes, it does hurt when you lose people on a forum, even if the...

As the subject implies, I'm wondering if there are still members here who purport to get better results, safely, on Dutasteride when taking more than the recommended 0.5mg/day. I remember seeing people took upwards of 2mg or more/day. I'm having a little trouble with search so I wanted to repost...

Facebook groups killed forum websites many years ago as I’ve been told. I’m surprised this one has lasted as long as it had.
