finasteride gave me sides, is it worth it at all to try dutasteride? Any other options?

[Bagels]

I've tried finasteride multiple times. I even got my hormones checked once and found that it I had lowered my overall testosterone from it.

I've heard that some people had less sides on dutasteride. I know this sounds crazy - I'm getting quite desperate. I've seen my identity start to change completely and its been very hard. I'm trying some stuff like swisstemples protocol but am not too hopeful that will work for maintaining hair in long term.

I've heard about seti and PGE2 but dont really know a good source to buy that stuff, or if anyone has gotten real results with it yet(?)

I've also heard about RU but as a topical anti androgen will that give me the same sides as finasteride?

Anyways, I'd really appreciate input. Thanks.

If you're getting sides with finasteride, it is fairly likely you'll get those with dutasteride too. If you're not scared of long term sides from dutasteride then by all means try it. With RU the sides are usually less, and not as severe as finasteride - and you can always use less in your topical solution to find a "sweet spot" without sides.

finasteride lowered your testosterone? I thought it raises up testosterone a bit, but lowers DHT.
