Dutasteride 9 Months Mwf Results And Thoughts.

[GoldenMane]

Use dutasteride 0.5mg Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 1.25 mg proscar on other days. Also a 4 year minoxidil user. Used 15% minoxidil for a year without change so dropped it, no change upon dropping it it either.
1. No change in hair density or thickness.
2. No notable shed upon starting.
3. No change in shedding. Still 200 hairs per day, maybe more, S has been the case as long as I can remember. Shed hairs typically look normal and long. Some a bit thin, occasionally spiral shaped. Shed like a dog before adding dutasteride, shed like a dog after adding out

I will continue using dutasteride because it's no harm having higher DHT inhibition, perhaps it will help more with long term maintenance.
I have various hypotheses as to why these treatments have made no difference, I'll write about them later.

Would you ever consider RU Golden? I'm debating adding RU before trying dutasteride if I start to lose ground. The higher risk of mental sides of dutasteride scare me, although rubbing a chemical on my head from China isn't 100% safe either lol.

so basicaly for you duta didnt do anything more than propecia ? you were a good responder to propecia ?
Duta didnt helped your temple or hairline more ?
did it thicken your crown or mid scalp?
Any difference in term of sebum and oily scalp ( because of type 1 inhibition)? More sides ?

thanks.

Yeah decent minoxidil and finasteride response. Good even. Holding ground no (I think) despite shedding 200 plus hairs a day.
Absolutely no noticeable difference before and after adding dutasteride.
Absolutely no difference before, after and then after dropping 15% dualgen minoxidil.
No difference from adding castor oil or biotin either.
Seems like nothing extra seems to make any noticeable difference.

I'd only try RU if I start losing ground, don't fancy being a DIY chemist relying on shipments of pharmaceuticals from China over the internet.
I'm done with experimenting for now, back to finasteride and 5% minoxidil and I'll keep taking the DHT for maintenance.
Not sure why these made no difference for me, but many people swear by them so maybe it's just me.

hey golden , does dutasteride helped you with oily scalp or skin, with sebum problem ?
because i have really oily hair , and i am almost sure this is because of 5 ar 1 activity in the scalp , and dutasteride inhibits most of it.

 

[michel sapin]

No change in oilyness. I'm not super oily anymore, at 30 I still gets some spots though. Started finasteride and minoxidil in August 2013. Added dutasteride in April 2016. No sides. Absolutely nothing to report at all really. Got my gains in the first year and the maintained despite shedding a crazy amount every day.

Hey. Have you had any blood work for dht before and after finasteride or dutasteride?

 

[michel sapin]

so dutasteride doesnt change he oiliness of your hair ? less sebum?
because i am really tired of my oily hair

Hmm... can't say it did. Finasteride did reduce pilyness, adding dutasteride made no difference over finasteride
