About to go to dutasteride .5mg once every five days. No side effects. In fact every time I take a dose I get a jolt of energy and strength. Great to take before a workout. I'm assuming it's the testosterone increase, possibly something else. I'm not complaining lol.

Just curious, read something the other day but it wasn't official, more speculation than anything. The Cipla Finpecia (Goa) in question is what I take however, so just want to see if there is any real information on this. Could be nothing at all, and certainly not try to start any scares or...

Just to let you know, finasteride is more known for holding onto what you have than regrowing. Everyone's different, but for regrowth most people go to minoxidil. Another thing to note; gains are almost always subtle, like your hair falls out less. The shedding process can even be subtle, or not lol. I'm...

I can see that for some, but from experience can tell you there can be a side effect for some people. It was for me my first time around. I didn't know anything about the possibilities of sides, took about two years to finally equate the growing issues to finasteride. Even then I rejected the idea of it...

Just an update, I now have a regular prescription for Avodart. I am going to start very very low on it and see how it goes. I beat the side effects of finasteride after they hit me originally by stopping for some time, then starting fresh and tappering up very slow. I am going to see if this can be done...

Here's my thing. I've been taking it finasteride about five years. Good success in keeping. I had taken it a long time ago for a couple of years but the sides got me and I had to stop. Flash forward to around 2010, I very very slowly eased back on it, allowed my body to get used to it, and worked up to...

Ballz. Seems like there's no gradual increase then, just a massive jump to dutasteride. Looks like dutasteride only comes in gel caps so no lower dose increasing with it either. No wonder people get hit with dutasteride sides so hard. They can't gradually work up with it and the jump between 1mg finasteride to .5 dutasteride is huge...

From what I'm reading seems like finasteride tops out at 1mg for effectiveness, or there's very little extra DHT reduction beyond that? It would seem if true the next jump would be to dutasteride for effectiveness instead of simply increasing the finasteride dose. Can anyone confirm this?

I had the reverse effect of increased energy and libido when I upped my finasteride, it's of course documented men with lower T normally actually receive increases which was a benefit to me. Improves focus/libido/energy/sleep and stops hair loss? Yes I will take that. If you're in the minority category...

Anyone know the percentage testosterone therapy increases T?

Hiya, Just checking in about something. when I first jumped my finasteride from .5 a day to 1mg a day, I suddenly experienced an increase in energy, libido, focus, better sleep and so on. I was like great! It was great, but unfortunately went back to normal after a week. No sides aside from that. I...

When I first got on finasteride some time ago, I got the sides pretty bad. I stopped, then years later tapered back on slowly and it was fine. I think that's really the key, introduce it at a low level and work up allowing your body time to adjust. I would think this would be the best way to go with...

My only question at present; where did you get the RU? Seems to be conflicting information on how to obtain it.

I am curious about this as well. If it can be found retail that would be nice, but it sounds like it is going through all sorts of trials right now and won't be officially on the market for a while. Still sounds promising for a topical. - - - Updated - - - Whelp, after looking at this more...

Quick update. It's been over a month, I slowly worked my way up to twice a day. Here's what I have to report. No side effects. The ones that I had are gone, no puffy face, headaches, or anything else. Again though, I gradually worked up to two times a day. The positives are good, one thing I...
