Made The Switch To Dutasteride After 6 Months Of 'bad' Finasteride Experience

ey bro keep calm and stick with the treatment.

i know the shedding is very difficult but dutas is a very strong med and hairs must shed to regrothw more thicker.

duta also take a lot of time to build in the system, you will see some improvements only after 5/6 months

Thanks bro for your encouraging words. However that was promised to me as well with finasteride and that did nothing after 7 months. So i have no hope

I have read a lot of stories off people who got a 2nd shed in month 6/7. Good sign

Yea, see my results pic in my signature. I shedded massively for first 3 months, STRONG regrowth months 4-6, followed by shedding and a worsening of the hair, followed by regrowth back to at least the 4-6 month level by the year 1 mark. At year 3 now, and hair same as the year 1 mark.

300+ hairs since starting and maybe 150+ before taking it.

300+ hairs a wash was about my average on Finasteride too.

These precise shed counts always blow my mind. How do you arrive at these numbers? Do you count the strands 1 by 1?

Hehe

Well, if i pull my hair i get 4 hairs at a time continuesly. If i dry my hair after showering i see 40 hairs at average (this is counted one time). If i blow dry it and keep my head above the think there are around 40.

So yeah, not counting what i lose during showering and during the day i think i lose about 300-500.

Must have a sh*t ton of hair to be able to lose 500 strands of hair a day....If I lost 500 strands of hair it would form a massive bald spot. I literally notice no hair shedding, but my hair is noticeably thinner every fuckn week. These treatments are absolute garbage for me.

I don't count each strand all the time, but a lot of the time... yeah I count them all.

Neurotic? Probably.

Edit to add: I counted 26 this morning. That's up from the usual 10-15, probably due to going out drinking with my sister last night.
