Ive been on dutas .5mg, two capsules each day for about two years, along with dr. Reddy's Minoxidil/Retin-A topically once a day. I don't currently have any side effects. I believe I noticed an initial thickening (general) within about 3 months which was subtle. Overall I think that my...

I've taken Dutas for about a year.... but also made a lot of other changes (new minoxidil, short military style cut, Garnier "surf hair" wax). In general the vertex is improved, and all seems thicker. How much "improvement" is due to the shorter style or minoxidil I can't say, but overall I am content...

1 year update One year ago I switched from finasteride .5mg to dutasteride, and started experimenting with topical treatments for this first time. This was motivated by an awareness of progressive thinning despite finasteride (for years). I think that overall my hair is a little thicker...

http://www.unitedpharmacies.com/Hair_page_1_c_3.html I've had good luck with United Pharmacies... they have generic and name brands.

6 month update In april 2006 I quit finasteride after 4 or 5 years and started multiple treatments... I initially started Dutasteride .5mg, 4 pills each day = 2mg... Planning to emulate the Phase II trial for 6 months then go to .5mg. I also started to use minoxidil (dr lee's 5% to top and...

There are a lot of discussions in the archives, and lots on other sites as well... here is a link to a thread discussing the evidence available (the avodart phase II trial)... http://www.hairsite4.com/dc/dcboard.php ... &mode=full Propecia is the first line drug due to its low cost and short...

Damn, I hate to hear stories like that... progression while on big gun treatment. :( You have more posts than TynanW!!! I think that there is reason to think adding a topical androgen receptor blocker might give some additional benefit... on dutasteride .5mg/day there is still dht being...

Well, in a panic this spring I went from finasteride alone to dutasteride 2.5mg/day, minoxidil with retin-a, xanadrox 12.5 at the hairline, nizoral and msm... so it's hard to say what helped : ). The blitzkrieg approach did well for 2 months (hair is coarser, temples appear to have a little fine regrowth...

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) most people here use finasteride they order online... without consulting a doctor. This is because 1) insurance doesnt often cover finasteride for cosmetic purposes 2) it is available online without a prescription 3) it is the common view here that doctors dont know...

Rando, Im sure you can find other sources. I just remember Dr lee claims to have made a 5% cream without the odor problem... It is the only one I've tried. It doesnt smell good, so I can only imagine what a "fully odored" cream would smell like. That claim is the only reason I recommend...

Bryan, did you growl at me ? : ) I couldnt tell from the summaries i had read where they put the fluradil. I guess only the first study of 20 people was forearm. My bad. Here is the actual second study in all it's glory http://www.hairsite2.com/flu.pdf . In another thread you posted that this...

If you have had no side-effects with finasteride you may be a candidate to consider switching finasteride to dutasteride... You have to read a lot about it as it is a little different than finasteride (longer half life meaning longer side-effects if you do get them), though some claim it has...
