    Top 10 "its over" balding moments

    Did you get to try the rutinib?

    I feel like I'm doomed. That's my story.

    I've been reading some of your posts, since I had a hunch that dutasteride might work better for me at lower dosages (at normal dosages it's even weaker than finasteride, as rare as that sounds), but never tried it. This thinking stems from the fact that dutasteride acts like a placebo for me, the...

    Going from 0.5 mg of dutasteride to 1 mg

    Did you feel like 0.5 mg of dutasteride daily was stronger than finasteride? Maybe just dutasteride and CB are enough to halt your hair loss, why take finasteride too?

    Can I dissolve Spironolactone in minoxidil solution?

    The fact that dutasteride doesn't work for you (or me) doesn't mean it won't work for him. 99% of people will still have better results with dutasteride than finasteride. Btw the reason dutasteride doesn't work as well for some doesn't necessarily have to do with an increase in T (that doesn't make much...

    Miniaturisation accelerated since adding dutasteride, no shed

    Dutasteride has higher binding affinity to 5AR, so it will render finasteride useless. And if the only effective drug you use is finasteride, then dutasteride will block its therapeutic effect by not letting it bind to 5AR enzyme receptors. dutasteride binds to these receptors but for some people it does so in...

    Miniaturisation accelerated since adding dutasteride, no shed

    I'm using 1 mg dutasteride now, alongside the usual 0.5 mg finasteride (I once used dutasteride without finasteride and the damage was brutal in those 5 months, I'll never do that again). My dermatologist wanted to see if doubling the dutasteride dosage the hair would respond better, but it's been 4 weeks and the...

    Miniaturisation accelerated since adding dutasteride, no shed

    Thanks for sharing your experience on both. And yes, I used gelatin capsules, the official brand (Avodart), so unfortunately there's not much else to try. Btw, I thought you were drug free after dropping dutasteride, but now I understand that you switched to finasteride? Apologize for the...

    Miniaturisation accelerated since adding dutasteride, no shed

    That's an interesting experience. If you dropped dutasteride and stayed drug free for several months, and thinning after 4-5 months was slower, it would mean that dutasteride was indeed worsening your hair thinning. I asked about the time frame because there was a possibility that the effects...

    Isn't there any moderation to stop these shills? Nobody paid attention to your post so you're now rubbing it on people's faces?

    Miniaturisation accelerated since adding dutasteride, no shed

    That's very rare, not doubting your experience but did you by any chance start finasteride right after stopping dutasteride? Or were you off everything while your thinning slowed down? How many months were you off dutasteride before noticing this? Thank you

    Well, you would have to take both to know whether it's dutasteride not working or your Androgenetic Alopecia just happened to worsen around the dates you used dutasteride. Maybe the trial with finasteride will shed some light.

    Same thing happened to me, and many others. I also had bloodwork done several times prior tu using 5-AR inhibitors, on finasteride, and on dutasteride. Turns out my DHT is higher on dutasteride (compared to finasteride, not baseline). I know ELISA is not the perfect methodology for studying hormones but...

    Anastrozole (Arimidex) + Dutasteride + Hair Transplant = need help!

    I also had gyno, finasteride and dutasteride double my estrogen levels...heard exemestane is safer than anastrazole, but none are recommended long term

    Topical Dutasteride Case Assessment Thread

    Do you have any reference to this information? An skin biopsy, a scientific study, any kind of hard data. Thank you But the excipients from the pills might get in the way of the mix, doesn't it? Even if you buy the vehicle and do it exactly like the compounding pharmacy, you don't have access...
