And as far as a low dutasteride dosage, say that has the effect of raising my estrogen levels only slightly rather than enormously like a regular dose did. Would that simply lead to gyno later as time went on? And my big question, sigh, is how to test less dutasteride or anything else and monitor gyno as...

Strange thing about finasteride... Back in 2001-2002 I took Propecia for over 1 year. No change in scalp pain, or the progression of "normal" hairs being replaced by coarse black ones, or none at all. Greasy forehead, more acne and terrible pain at the hairline as it quickly receeded.

Back with a new username since I had my old one saved on my old computer and have no idea what email address its associated with or what the password is... For reference my thread is: here. Alright, you guys know I write novels here instead of normal length posts. But please have a look...
