I am also having less and watery ejaculations so I am to some point suffering from sides without benefits? why the hell! be fair dutas, if you are giving me some sides at least give me some more hair?

Stop taking either propecia or dutasteride. Both are poison to the body.

Yeah, listen to baldozer. He has an extensive medical and scientific research background. He definitely knows what he's talking about and isn't spreading unsubstantiated propaganda.

I think I asked you before, forgive me, but where do you get your dut from? Is it Avodart from a licensed pharm?
Are you also taking fin with it, or just the dut?
Do you feel like any of the shedding areas have had any regrwoth since you started?

What are you talking about? It stops hair loss for something like 90% of people and gives regrowth for 30-40%.

I get it from a licensed pharm and it is Avodart.
I am not sure about the answer to the second question, for ex for a while I think I started to see some regrowth, especially in the right temple but I cannot be sure. there are shorter hairs there but I can't say if it is regrowth or hairs getting miniaturized. I can't remember if I had them before, but my right temple was looking worse than the left, now the left temple looks worse. there was a time around 4th-5th month when I thought things were getting better but now I feel like I took a big hit in just 2 weeks.
the thing is my derm said he spotted some miniaturized hairs on the top last year, when I was still on fin (for 5 years), so it is clear that fin was not much of a help, so I needed something stronger.

I understand. Good luck man....one possibility is always checking in with a doctor to make sure you do not have any other conditions affecting your hair like a thyroid problem or something

Did you switch from fin to Avodart all at one time? ie one day you were on fin and the next dropped it and started Avodart? Or did you take them at the same time at any point?
