Just wondering.

You hear this talk about how dutasteride is a hairline destroyer because it raises your T levels to high levels by the extreme inhibition of DHT, but nothing about people losing more hair or faster recession on finasteride. Does this ever happen in users?

I have some dutas in tablets that I can cut up so I take a smaller dose of dutasteride and seem to tolerate it well, but if I take a full dose I can literally feel my T increase significantly (stinkier pits, more moody and aggressive, etc) and the next few days my hairline appears very weak, weaker than my already near nonexistent Norwood 3.5. I messed around with a couple weeks of finasteride only and same thing seemed to happen, a weaker hairline.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, because that would mean that finasteride is not the end all cure all for male pattern baldness sufferers and other treatments should be looked at for the person.

finasteride is far from a cure for male pattern baldness. Happened to me after almost 6 months on it and a bunch of other people.

Huh okay. Ya it makes sense to me since it is androgenic alopecia and not just purely DHT that causes baldness, but I had not seen any threads about finasteride hurting the hairline, only dutasteride. Well shoot maybe people need to mess around with other anti-androgens since it is mainly T that hurts the hairline.
