Wow this is impressive regrowth.... I had to drop Dutas and go back to finasteride because of some nasty sides. I bought a Derma Roller a while back but I have yet to use it as to be honest, I have no idea what I am doing and how to disinfect it or what I should actually be doing to prevent infection or...

Great, thanks for that!

Were you taking it long? I was starting to notice some results. Regrowth. I had been on finasteride over 10 years prior to making the switch.

Really? It says 5 weeks on most sites I have looked at? I actually have been really dizzy on occasion the last month of so, I didn't think it could have had anything to do with Dutas, but when googling the half life, spotted that dizzyness was reported as a side effect. This has not been a good...

I have quit dutasteride today due to noticeable side effects, going straight back on finasteride instead. Noticeable ED and the worst acne I've ever had in my life, I've got a red spot about the size of my f*****g eye on my face! Was only on it just over two months but not waiting to see if the effects...

Are there instructions for @Somebody 's method? I can't find them...

Interesting how everything went south after a stressful period.. Can I ask what sort of lifestyle changes helped you after that?

Ok thanks, I'll have to have a look at your plan. Damage is probably already done but considering getting off this stuff now. Hadn't kept up to date with side effects of these drugs as they were considered fairly safe at the time of starting. When I say fairly safe, I mean no permanent sides...

So are you suffering bad side effects and if so, do you have a plan when you come off the drugs for recovery?

Well what do you suggest that 10 years+ users do now then? According to another member, things get worse AFTER you quit... This was just a statement, with nothing showing to back it up. So do we all quit, risk things getting worse side effects wise and hair wise? Or stay on it to avoid the...

If this is how you feel, why do you take Dutas 2x weekly?

Still waiting on your proof on this....

And care to show a link to prove that it is an "irreversible" inhibitor of the 5ar enzyme? I'm not going to just take your word for it... your hatred of these drugs is clear in almost every post I've seen of yours...

What I don't understand is the "permanent" side effects from long term use of these drugs. Surely it could be reversed medically if it were to happen...? I haven't researched the permanent side effects because there isn't much out there really that proves it. I'd believe in "prolonged" side...

You will never have a good relationship if you can't share something as simple as being concerned about balding and taking finasteride with your girlfriend. If it's someone you are just dating, then no, no reason to say anything, however someone you are actually in a relationship with... you need to be...
