Serm And Ai While On Dutasteride. Is This Normal?

[nicksparrow]

I have letrozole, raloxifene(SERM), dutasteride, and 5% minoxidil.
1x letrozole tablet every week.
1x raloxifene a day.
1x 2.5mg dutasteride a day.
2x minoxidil a day.



First two to combat gynecomastia effects. (I had developed mild gyno last time I used dutas alone)
Will this work fine? Am I all set?

I dont remember very well but the first two are not good for hairs. Do some research

Depends on dosage.
I'll be using it to prevent future gynecomastia with low doses to moderate and block estrogen sensitivity.

That's quite a cocktail. Hope your liver can take it.

Maybe consider anti-gyno topically, @ajbrah had some success like that.

PS. Letrozole @ 0.25 mg EOD fried my hair, my temples went to sh*t fast. I recovered after stopping it.

once a week shouldnt be bad. or maybe eevery 10 days or so.

I've never seen anybody report positive results from long-term use of both anti-DHT and anti-estrogen treatments.

probably because they dont mention what other meds they are on when on this forum lol

It may also be that estrogen is required for hair health.

Estrogen is pretty much the archenemy for every male bodily function, except for the hair health of a balding man. We truly are fucked.

OP your regimen is counterporductive . letrozole and AI cause hair loss and are dangerous for liver .
And 2.5 mg of dutasteride is pretty crazy . the combo is insane .
Maybe try 0.5mg of duta daily , you will have less chance of gyno

I'll drop the letrozole then and keep raloxifene at least. .5 or 2.5mg i still get gyno

 

[nicksparrow]

Or maybe I can just reduce letrozole dosage. 1mg a week to keep estrogen in check

 

[michel sapin]

you have tried 0.5 m and got gyno? maybe do it once every 5 days it reduce Dhy by the same amount as proscar = 70 %

Yes. I did .5mg every other day and by the 8th pill i noticed my breasts enlarging.

did you try fina first?

 

[nicksparrow]

did you try fina first?

I did for a few months but then learned about dutasteride and hopped on that for quicker results. 3 months on finasteride didn't notice anything happen no sides, no inc/dec of hair or shedding etc.

 

[michel sapin]

you didn"t get gyno on fina ? maybe you should keep taking it?

i prefer the best of the best for my situation.
i dont think finasteride will do me much good as my balding is pretty aggressive. Lost a lot of hairline/temples over just 4 months, and vertex also thinning too much.

That is just dumb. Finasteride could work extremely well for you. But instead you are taking dutasteride, which may be no more effective than finasteride for you, plus anti-estrogens to combat its side effects which are going to be bad for your hair.

I can take 1mg Letrozole a week....to keep estrogen from going too high. This shouldn't cause hair thinning or hair loss.
Generic Raloxifene doesn't cause hairloss or hair thinning. This is moderate dose.

Also I did try finasteride for 3 months with nothing happening. Discovered Dutasteride and hopped on that.
