I tried ru but it gave me heart pain. So I am looking for a new antiandrogen. I am 19 years old. My hair is terrible. What sould i try first? I am using Minoxidil,nizoral and dermaroller for two months.
Should I Try First Finasteride Or Dutasteride?

There is some recession in the hairline but the rest of the hair seems absolutely fine.
Now is an excellent time to start Finasteride 1MG, with a doctors approval.
I do not recommend Dutasteride as it is generally not FDA approved for hairloss and the side effects if they present will likely be more pronounced than with Finasteride.
Therefore, There is no point in using a stronger drug like Dutasteride without seeing if finasteride 1MG keeps your hair with minimal side effects first.

Both finasteride and dutasteride are incredibly dangerous drugs if you have a (what is likely a genetic) predisposition to developing what is currently termed "post finasteride syndrome".

Who isn’t aware of the significant risks? It’s basically spammed on this website constantly at this point lmao
Generally they are real to people who experience them and bullshit to those who don’t which is why there is generally so much confusion on forums

my understanding is that they are absolutely real but hard to get a grip on them until they happen to you. But once they happen life sucks.
Most people will not suffer side effects that are permenant or particularly problematic.
Fina or Duta it's up to you, but now is absolutely the time to start taking them, better now than wait for your hairline to recede further and then panic and start taking them.

I still lost hair on finasteride, that's a year of hairloss i won't get back, i would personally jump on dutasteride but im sure most would disagree. I should add i got the exact same sides on dutasteride as i did on finasteride, just a reduction in libido, no mental effects.

I agree. If you are nineteen and suffering with such a degree of hair loss, do not waste your time with finasteride.

was the change to dutas helpful? any truth to the hairline destroying mythology of dutas?
Yeah switching to dutasteride was definitely helpful, i was worried about the hairline destroying stories too but my hairline is fine, im not that bothered by my hairline tbh, it's mostly my crown and diffuse thinning on top, my hairline isn't NW0, but it's decent enough, not something i worry about too much.

Can finasteride regrow at hairline?

Dutas?
It could since you are using it in combination with minoxidil. But you will most likely lose ground after a some years.
