Update. Six weeks on Dutasteride. The shedding has slowed down (it wasn’t really bad at its worst) and I’m seeing less scalp after I wash my hair. After taking it, 2 or 3 hours later I was feeling kind of out of it (brain fog) for a few hours, so I switched to taking it a bedtime. That has...

I don’t see any relies to your post. I’m new here also so maybe I’m not seeing them because I’m doing something wrong. Anyways, 20 years ago I was 31 years old & noticed a little thinning & started Finasteride. It took a while but it grew some back & definitely maintained what I had. A couple...

Michael1986, maybe I shouldn’t say I didn’t get regrowth from finasteride. I think I did but that was 20 years ago when I started it so it’s difficult to remember. For sure it maintained what I had, which is great & is great news for people considering finasteride, in fact I’d highly recommend it as long as you...

Michael1986, that’s good news. I just started dutasteride after 20 years on finasteride. The finasteride obviously maintained my hair but really didn’t regrow any. So on August 1st, 23 days ago I started dutasteride. About 2 weeks in I noticed shedding. It could be the dutasteride or it could be that I usually seem to shed twice a...

Thanks for answering my questions. Obviously when I hear someone switched from finasteride to dutasteride & lost hair at the hairline I get nervous. Let’s try to communicate to rah other every now & then & update each other. I’m in a different situation than you since I’m 52 years old.

Lol. Thanks. When you say “ I don't believe that happens to majority” do you mean your hairline being destroyed?

What’s TBH? Sorry, I’m new to these abbreviations.

Have you ever made the switch or read about people switching? Is it normal to shed when switching?

I’m not sure if you’re asking me this question. If you are it’s hard for me to remember 20 years ago what happened. I don’t remember loosing a lot of density & do know it maintained what I had

New member here. Quit finasteride & started dutasteride 0.5 daily on August 1st. I’d been on finasteride since 1998, 20 years & kept what I had. I wanted to see if dutasteride would regrow rather than just maintain. Less than 3 weeks in & I've started shedding. Has anyone here been on dutasteride & shed & had good regrowth? Thanks.
