what was your regime? My doctor doesnt think anyone should be taking more than 3xs a week. TBH I don't know if its working. I still have hair and am losing but its not as rapid as it was.

good luck. remember, everyone I know who has had good and non-reaction to dutasteride all had a shed, so prepare for that.

When i started taking 3 duts a week I stopped finasteride. After 6 weeks of stopping my scalp got really itchy, so I take dutasteride 2-3 times a week and back on finasteride on the off days. I don't want to up my dutasteride intake because it seems like it shouldn't matter with halflife being pretty good. Tough to say if I...

I am in California. However due to cost of dutasteride's I purchase through both a local pharmacy as well as AllDaychemist. My routine is .5 EOD. i usually take 1 pill from local pharmacy and the others are from ALLDAY. Does anyone see that as being an issue? I know all versions of pills arent the same...

I am going to add finasteride on my off days. dutasteride eod, finasteride on off.

i was on finasteride for 20+ years, started to lose effectiveness. I switched to dutasteride 1 day a week for 6 weeks and upped it until dutasteride EOD without finasteride. When I added dutasteride initially I had a shed that lasted 6 weeks to the day. It subsided and i felt my hair stayed pretty much the same. About a month ago I...

where do you buy your dutasteride? Have you ever used alldaychemist?

does itchiness accompany every shed or is itchiness a bad sign?

ahhhh. Perspective. Thank you. Good luck.

what bums me out is that similar to intial shed when I started dutasteride is that there is itching. I didnt have itching a month ago. now out of nowhere i have itching.

I am aware but this feels like my shed when i initially started dutasteride. i never shed 20yrs ago when I started finasteride. Seems weird to shed 1.5 years into program after already shedding at start.

thanks for this.

topical? I just dont have the discipline or want. finasteride was great. started at 22 and it slowed my recession way down. It clearly started to lose effectiveness. my thought was dutasteride would help. After the intial shed it seemed fine but noticed recently the itching returned with some loss.

I started dutasteride almost 2 years ago after 20+ on finasteride. I started 1 dutasteride +6Fins a week ultimately working my way to dutasteride EOD. When i started dutasteride i had an initial shed 6 weeks in. It seems like I have having another one . Is it possible or is it losing its power? would reintroducing finasteride on the off days...
