Funniest Thing About My Dutasteride Use

[JHCL1990]

it's very likely that dutasteride can induce Telogen Effluvium. this is my opinion. no I don't have any friggin evidence, because there obviously is none. dutasteride is some hardcore sh*t. Altering your hormones that much can definitely lead to Telogen Effluvium. It happens all the time in people receiving other therapies, or women giving childbirth, or going through menopausal changes. Why wouldn't it happen for men? well, it does. You will see that it's happened to many, many people when searching this on the internet.

I wouldn't "hope" that this is the case, however. If it is causing Telogen Effluvium, how do you know that continued use won't keep resulting in Telogen Effluvium, making it chronic? This is my biggest fear with dutasteride. This is actually why I will never touch it again. All those crawling, itching, tingling feelings may NOT even be "ar upregulation" or "sensitvity to increase in T" They could just be a result of Telogen Effluvium. I have gotten them every time I've had Telogen Effluvium.

How often did you itch? I have that sensation once in a while, but not constantly. I also thought it had more to do with minoxidil, since my scalp regularly peels from the liquid.

It's funny in a "this is so depressing and ridiculous that I can't do anything but laugh" way.

I'm hoping it's a telogen effluvium (shed) that dutasteride started.

i gotcha man... I mean what can you do really? That sucks man. I think it Could be Telogen Effluvium or at least its possible. dutasteride scares me. I understand why people try it, but i wont do it. If Finasteride doesn't work i guess thats my sign to let it be. Have you already tried Finasteride? Im assuming you probably tried that first...
