I've been on duta for 6 months. Everything was going great, but then suddenly after 3 and a half months in I started to shed more than usual (I’m talking about 300+ hairs a day compared to 80-100).
These crazy sheds are nothing new to me, I get them from time to time, but this time I started shedding on sides (around the ears and on the nape of my neck). During april I felt terrible and was afraid to cut my hair, but a week ago I decided to give myself 25mm (1 inch) haircut on top and was surprised to see that the middle of my scalp and crown actually looked better than when I started taking dutasteride, but my hairline took a hit.
The fact that my crown and mid-scalp look better could be due to new hairs kicking in, but what about my hairline? It has never looked this bad, even during the time I dropped minoxidil.
I’m really afraid of the fact that the hairline might look even worse, so should I quit taking dutasteride and start taking fina again? The only thing I could do to improve my regimen is microneedeling, but again It's going to be worthless if DHT\test keeps eating my hairline.
I also don’t have any side effects, maybe it could have been cause by a sudden increase in test?
