Lol. its pretty funny listening to everyone's wishful thinking. It seems like the article is simply pointing out a correlation, but everyone's jumping off the rocker thinking "Holy sh*t I cant give that up!!!"
I'm not sure how it could be the placebo affect, when noone was expecting it at all. I remember when I got off finasteride, my sex drive and mental clarity were back. I was like "OMG I can think clear now, and remember things" but now on dutasteride its not as bad as finasteride, but I do find myself not remember...
Lol. Ever since i've taking dutasteride, its become hotter and hotter outside. Do you think there is a correlation between me taking dutasteride and Summer?!?!
I'm pretty sure the lab has to specifically tests for most drugs. They don't take your blood, put it under a microscope and say "Hmm, that looks like Marijuana, and that looks like Cocaine, and that looks like Dutasteride!"
Unless a doctor specializes in "Hairloss", they would probably know just about the same, or even less. Even doctors don't have the time to keep up with every aspect of the human body, while many of us have spent countless hours researching hairloss.
