Have you experienced any negative side effects from the dutasteride?

Alas, I have three girls, and I’m done with procreation. They’re young and have the thickest, strongest and most resilient hair I’ve ever seen. Almost makes me wish I were female, lol. I can pretty much guarantee that unless they have male children, no future members of my immediate family will...

With dutasteride, are you experiencing any negative side effects? Another person on this thread has suggested that dutasteride’s side effects are potentially worse than those caused by finasteride. On finasteride, I have only experienced a couple of negative side effects, such as decreased...

Thank you very much for this info. I have heard of dermarolling, but never investigated it. Sounds a little painful, but not as painful as losing one’s hair...

Hmm, that’s even more hopeless than my statements. Correct me if I’m wrong, but what I understand from your post is that dutasteride (as well as finasteride) are temporary solutions that will inevitably lead to baldness, correct? You mentioned that this is 100% certain. Are there studies to...

Just FYI, I’m an NW3, but I can see the signs of becoming an NW5 if I discontinued treatment. If dutasteride and oral minoxidil are options for me, then I’m willing to try. I’ll have to ask my doctor.

Wow, your first statement describes me pretty well :/ Thanks for the explanation!

Social isolation is a contributing factor to hair loss? How does that work - I’ve never heard about it.

I’m very thankful for the responses I’ve received so far. I appreciate your candor! My overall opinion is built upon a scientifically/medically weak and overly emotional foundation. Being challenged on my point of view is exactly what I hoped for. Perhaps I’ve also fallen victim to...

Thank you for your thoughtful and thorough reply. I had a feeling that (negative) side effects increase as effectiveness increases. Though, I am interested in knowing what the more radical treatments are, outside of transplants.

Thank you for that info!

I seem to be genetically unlucky, ha! But, would you consider dutasteride superior to finasteride? I haven’t tried the former.

This is my first post, but not my first time gathering info on this forum and others like it. After reading numerous accounts of hair loss, hair regrowth or a cessation of either, I’ve come to the following conclusions. Again, this is completely anecdotal and personal to me - I’m not a doctor...
