Slarti, no problem. I will definitely be purchasing my Avodart from chiasso@merloniphama.ch from now on. Best prices by far and so far very reliable. I haven't checked this post in a while but it seems your progress is going well. Sounds like you have begun to regrow some hair, which tells...

It's been a little over 3 months now and I've been shedding pretty bad for about the last 2 of those. I am definitely noticing that my hair is thinner all over - I can see my scalp more clearly esp. when hair is wet. The shedding doesn't seem to be slowing down either. It's quite depressing...

Well, I've been on dutasteride for 2 months now and my hair continues to shed much more than when I was taking propecia. I'm going to stick with it though for at least 6 months if not longer. by the way, slarti, where are you purchasing your Avodart, do they require a prescription, and how much are...

What I mean is that I started to lose more hair on a daily basis after about 2 weeks of taking dutasteride. At week 4 I was losing more hair each day than I was at week 2. The good news (for now) is that in the past 4 days or so the shedding is seemingly getting better, but we'll see if that trend...

Well, this is turning out to be the worst shed I think I've ever had. I've been taking dutasteride for one month now and I'm starting to question whether I should continue. I was hoping that since dutasteride and finasteride basically do the same thing, that my shedding would not be that severe, but it continues to...

Slarti, I was thinking the shed has been induced from the lack of Propecia in my system..as opposed to the Avodart that I have recently started taking. But who knows.. It's too bad there are no studies on these things. Believe me, in the last week or so I have thought about just going back...

Slarti, Well, I've been taking 0.5mg avodart once daily for 2 weeks now. My hair doesn't feel much different. Unfortunately I have starting shedding already - it's not really bad but it is noticeable. The funny thing is, I seem to be shedding thick, long hairs as opposed to ones that have...

badasshairday - I've definitely thought about using minoxidil but I would just rather chance having no regrowth than use that stuff every day. I have enough hair left that as long as I keep what I have I will be happy. dutasteride doesn't really scare me (as far as it being more powerful than...

Thanks for the advice man, I appreciate the quick response also.. As far as me not using minoxidil - I guess I just can't see myself having to apply that stuff day in and day out for the rest of my life. If I can keep my hair by just popping a pill, then I'll be glad to do that. I'm coming...

Slartibartfast - I am also thinking of switching from Propecia to Dutasteride. I've been on Propecia/Nizoral for 11 months now and have seen a slight decrease in hair loss, but no real improvement. Bottom line is I think my hair is still thinning, but at a slower rate. Thus I'm not really...

You may be right, but wouldn't it make sense that the hairs I lost while ON propecia should grow back healthier (if it is indeed working)? I just can't see myself using minoxidil for the rest of my life...

I'll try to keep it short..First noticed hair loss at the age of 22 when a friend mentioned it. I'm now glad that he did or I may have gone on a lot longer without doing anything about it. Started taking Propecia with Nizoral a few months later in April 2003. After about 2 months or so, I...
