Anyone else have less sides with Dutas than Propecia? Logic would suggest otherwise, since Dutas is more powerful. I'm currently taking Dutas 3 times a week for maintenance, and I feel better than when I took Propecia once a day.

I'm in my early 40s. I've been on dutasteride. for about a 1.5 years. Works well for the hair. Lately, though, I've noticed the urge to go to the bathroom more frequently, especially at night. Is this a normal side-effect? I have had the lack-of-focus symptom, but this has been more noticeable lately...

Just starting the process of collecting information. Any good FUE doctors in Boston that people would recommend, or will I need to be travel?

After taking Dutas for about 2 years (.5 every day), I seemed to have maxed out on results. So I decided to alternate Finpecia & Dutas (take finpecia pill 1 day, .5Dutas the next day, etc). In addition, my regimen includes spironolactone at night, and 5% minoxidil twice a day, MSM pills, and Revo shampoo...

At .5mg, the 5AR1 gets reduced by approx. 50% and the 5AR2 by 98+%. Has anyone tried taking 1 .5mg pill every 2 or 3 days, with the same results? The 5AR1 gets reduced by about 25-30% while 5AR2 reductions remains very high. I would think this may reduce any side-effects (and be less...

GreenSoap, Wow. I've never heard that. What do other people think about taking .25mg of Fini versus 1mg, but still maintaining the same effectiveness? Joey

Luke77, No major life style changes. I have a pretty stressful work life, but I make sure to eat right, exercise, etc. and that hasnt dropped off. These side effects come and go, and they're not severe, but they've happened enough lately to make me notice. Joey

Thx Kris50, I'll look into these. Can you buy them at a GNC? Any particular dosage/brands you recommend? Joey

Hi All, I've been taking Propecia for the past year, and lately (the last few months) have been feeling "out of it": cloudy-headed, forgetful, some depression. I've read this may be a side-effect of a DHT-inhibitor. My question is: Has anyone else gone thru this, and what could you do to...
