Using it too short to say...KHH said:Has anyone here had more effect with Avodart then with Propecia?
Until now: no! Wouls say even less than with finasteride.KHH said:Has anyone had more side effects with Avodart then with Propecia?
I believe I have more hair than if I'd still been taking Finasteride these past 3-odd years - I took Dutasteride every second day for 16 months and have been on 0.5mg/day for the last 18.KHH said:Has anyone here had more effect with Avodart then with Propecia?
It's more expensive, has a higher statistical risk of side-effects (or so suggests the 6-month study, if not the 4-year one), lacks the long-term evidence of Finasteride's safety, and on this site it's always advised to start on finasteride before dutasteride - so theoretically only those unhappy with finasteride should be using it.KHH said:Why are so few people using Avodart when it has been proven that it is more effective?
I'd have to check my story thread for accuracy, but roundabout the 2nd and 3rd months (of a daily dose) I was experiencing varying degrees of what I can only describe as light-headedness approximately three hours after taking a dutasteride capsule, with the feeling then subsiding over the next few hours - compared to no side-effects whilst on finasteride.KHH said:Has anyone had more side effects with Avodart then with Propecia?
Slartibartfast said:The light-headedness always reminded me of feeling slightly dehydrated, you know a little bit dizzy and slightly unfocused, so I started drinking an extra glass of water and that's when the side-effect began to subside. Now of course that might have been a co-incidence, perhaps the light-headedness would've gone with or without the extra liquid, but there's no harm in giving it a try.
Please don't quit after just 5 months, you're not doing yourself any favours by stopping before the treatment has had time to work.
