Yeah its pretty much over. My only hope is that my donor area is that of a werewolf, confirmed by multiple surgeons in the past months, with many multi-grafts + I can grow a full beard (for crown). Still if this sh*t is even somewhat fixable it’s gonna be $$$ and time
Its over for me too. It sux but we have no controll over it. I wont even bother with min anymore oral or topical and I have my reasons.
Yeah it’s starting to unfold in front of my eyes how small is the actual demographics who can utilize meds succesfully. Either someone doesn’t need them since they don’t have Androgenetic Alopecia or they do have Androgenetic Alopecia in that case it’s too agressive to do anything. Some will say they fared better at keeping their hair than their siblings who didn’t take 5αRIs but the f*** knows, it seems like a dice roll really.
How so? Your hairloss is very mild compared to his. So oral min may work for you but not us with more aggressive male pattern baldness. Just saying dont give him too much hope. Sure he can try it if he wants but I blasted that sh*t at 10-15 mg a day for 5 months and all I got from it was more body hair but not head hair.
Well I'm not guaranteeing it will save him, but it sure beats HRT or duta
...
My original idea was when all of this started was indeed that my test has went up… however consequent bloodwork confirmed that it in fact didn’t. I’m pretty sure it’s worse than than that and has to do with androgen receptor sensitivity being upregulated by Duta. As messed up as it sounds, I am currently considering using topical estrogen to downregulate.
Wtf.... This guy used the same generic dutasteride I used....for me my hair got nuked but for him it did the opposite..... Genes man....
Yeah I’ve read stories about proper boomers who were proper Norwood 6-d getting Duta prescribed for benign prostate enlargement and they “accidentaly” regrow hair they lost decades ago… then there are us whose hair got absolutely nuked on it.
I see post and hair pics about dutasteride ruining guys hair more than I see it helping anyways.

It worked well for me but side effects were too much. Maybe you have testosterone sensitive follicles. Ever tried topical caffeine?
Can you explain the side effects?
Reduced libido and generally lowered mood, fat accumulation in typical female areas. Basically high estrogen symptoms.
Did your facial/body hair got denser? I think this whole nigthmare has do with androgen receptors getting upregulated as Dutasteride tanks DHT. Not sure what to do though, dropping DHT inhibitors means 100% certainty of balding
I don't think it got denser, though it's hard to tell. I don't have a great deal of body hair as it is.
