I doubt dutasteride will improve things much over finasteride. It doesn't eliminate much more dht on the scalp.Try Duta (finasteride did jack sh*t for me as well)
Shedding =/= hair loss. Stick to it.5 months in, shedding same amount as before finasteride - 200-300 hairs a day.

i have been on finasteride for 20+ yrs. started losing effectiveness last spring. introduced .5Dut once a week for 4 months + continued 1mg finasteride 6 days a week. Gnarly shed for 6 weeks. started dutasteride 2 x's a week + finasteride 5 days for last 3+ months. nothing noticeable. Will give it until it clearly looks as if its not working. Probably wont up intake of dutasteride. to see if thats better.Any advice on a method for switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride?
in my case it’s a change from topical Finasteride 1% to topical Dutasteride 1%.
want to do all I can to prevent a shed or spike a reaction in terms of sides.
shedding = losing hair, since i said it was the same as before finasterideShedding =/= hair loss. Stick to it.

Not true. You go bald because the hair strands produced by hair follicles shrink in diameter and become lighter in color, until they are so small and colorless, they appear invisible. Shedding is a normal part of a healthy hair. How much you shed doesnt mean much, unless you're shedding alot (300+).shedding = losing hair, since i said it was the same as before finasteride
im about to hop on minoxidil cuz f*****g finasteride doesnt do sh*t for me, im rapidly going bald and the amount of hair lost every day isnt decreasing at all even though im 4-5 months in

Whats sad is that they would stop treatment because they're still shedding, whereas the treatment may be working just fine. We should spread awareness.You’d be surprised how many people that have been on these forums for years still don’t know this.
You havent made sense in your comment whatsoever, unfortunately. Can you even think logically? When you are shedding, it means your hair falls out and that means you are losing your hair and that's called hair loss. And we are not talking about losing like 5 hairs a day, which is normal. I'm talking about permanent stable constant loss of hair every day by hundreads and every single time i go through my hair with a hand. That's far beyond normaliy range.Not true.

For anecdotale evidence, I actually shed the most from the back. All it takes is one pass of my hand through the hairs in the back to get 1-3 strands each time. At the top, I need to f*** with my hair for a solid 1-2 minutes before I get any shedded strands. And guess what? My hair loss is at the top.
Shedding is not Androgenetic Alopecia. Miniaturization is the cause of hair loss in 95% of all cases.

Hair follicles shrinking is one step of the process, and at one point, when it shrinks too far, your hair falls out and doesnt regrow.
What was the point even mentioning hair follicles shrinking, are you mentally challenged or something? Why didnt you bring up why they shrink then? Following your logic i could say the same thing: "No, your hair loss doesnt happen because your hair follicles shrink, your hair falls because DHT attacks and damages hair follicles, that's what a lot of people dont understand." Lmao.
What a futile comment was that.
Also, finasteride is not a drug used to reduce your “hair loss” (shedding). It seems you’re mentally challenged as well.5 months in, shedding same amount as before finasteride - 200-300 hairs a day.

Is it a safe assumption that follicle miniaturization is only caused by androgens?
Bro it’s winter chill out. Hair sheds and gets thicker in winter. Just chill.5 months is not long enough
What do you mean?Bro it’s winter chill out. Hair sheds and gets thicker in winter. Just chill.
Did you at least have positive results while on finasteride?I’m just seeing a wave of 2 inch thin hairs mixed with healthy hair. I don’t think they will go terminal.
I have failed twice on oral Finasteride due to sides. I’m using topical and RU but nothing is helping. Still ED sides but managed.
is topcial Dutasteride a huge risk? CB?
