Hey all, I started finasteride(1mg daily) + minoxidil(once daily) + nizoral(3 times a week) about 8 months ago. The results were that my hairloss stopped immediately, and after 3 months started noticing some small improvements. My hair is still improving but at a slow rate(I guess that's normal?)

Finasteride gave me only one small side effect of some ball aches in the first 2 weeks, after that nothing.
No sexual issues or anything else.

I was wondering if it would be worth adding/switching to dutasteride for better/faster results, or if it would be wiser to stick with this regime as long as it's working. Because I don't have any sides with finasteride I'm not so afraid of dutasteride anymore.

thanks in advance

Duta is dangerous for a man, should be a last resort. Look at topical fina, rosemary and peppermint, dermawounding, 1x daily 2% nizoral cream, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed extract, stronger minoxidil concentrations or oral minoxidil, and topical anti-androgens like RU before going to duta. Duta is a huge gun and if you're dick works and you're gaining back hair it's not worth the risk.

Interesting to hear your views. You really think it's that bad?

If your getting results with finasteride I wouldn't touch dutasteride. I wish finasteride stopped my hair loss.
