After 6 Years dutasteride Is Losing Its Effectiveness, Should I Up Dosage? What Should I Do???

[Rumspringa!]

Ive been taking dutasteride since i was about 24 with great results. The past couple years however i started losing ground again and its getting quite bad. Im trying to decide what to do. Right now im taking .5 daily, should i double it up or try a topical antiandrogen. Im losing ground fast.

Thanks for your time

Upping the dose to 2.5 mg/day would work, but not more than for two years.

What are you basing this off?

Seems like that high of a dosage would be chemically castrating myself. Why not up to 1 mg?

Have you dropped below baseline? Also are you taking generic or Avodart? If generic, has it been the same brand for all 6 years?

Could just be shedding hair for other temporary reasons. Can always add a topical mixture a try by making it yourself. Or wait for topicals like polichem or CB to come to market.

@OP check your prescription history. The generic manufacturer does matter. If you're using Camber at the moment...that might be the reason.

What’s up with Camber dutasteride?
