If you get sides on finasteride, will you 100% get sides on dutasteride?

Basically title, if I have sides while taking finasteride, will I get sides on dutasteride for sure?

 

[Dench57]

Depends what kind of sides

Been wondering the same thing. Got finasteride sides bad. Some people seem to not get the on dutasteride, but I don't see how.

I think possibly the extra testosterone boost on dutasteride may be enough, in a few people, to improve any feelings of lethargy, low libido etc experienced on finasteride. Purely broscience

but it would also limit DHT and neurosteroids more that are making them feel lethargic.. will be interesting to hear from some people who've tried this though

Isn't the T "boost" often reported simply a matter of more T because it's not being converted to the more potent DHT? In other words, dutasteride reduces more DHT on average which leads to more unconverted T which would otherwise been DHT. Maybe I'm wrong here?

Yes, however over time your testicles shrink to produce less test - so you end up back at baseline after a period of time.

Is anybody familiar with the quality of Dutagen (inhousepharmacy)?
