Hi...
Just want to give a quick update and want to see if anyone can share similar experiences....
I have been on Avodart for 1 month now. Before that was on Propecia for 3.5 years. It worked great for first 2.5 years and went downhil after that (very fast I say) Norwood 2.5 to now 3.5 - 4.
Result:
Definitly hair loss has not slowed downed a bit. If anything, it seemed to have increased. My front has thinned significantly over last one month. I don't know if this is b/c of dutasteride or it's just male pattern baldness progressing. Overall hair seems finer than when I started.
Side effects:
- Dry lips (definitely)
- First few weeks, I felt feverish and light-headed. But then again, It could have been because I was recovering from a cold. But it did felt wierd than normal cold (maybe Testosterone jump causing that). Now it's ok.
- Knee pain -- this is totally strange and unexpected. I actually read another post that someone has this. But now it's has gotten ok.
Did anyone switch from finasteride to dutasteride because finasteride was not working anymore? How's ur result and it if works, how long does it take.
Thanks...
