My Dutasteride just arrived

[PatientlyWaiting]

Sorry to hear that. I have taken seven 0.5mg dut pills in 7 days, as well as still taking 1.25mg fin a day and have noticed no loss in sex drive, no gyno, nothing.

[PatientlyWaiting]

Hey guys, I know I said i'd wait 6 months to give an update by I want to show you what it looks like 2 months and 2 and a half weeks in to treatment so far.

Here is my hairline as of yesterday, with a line up and all LOL. I haven't been able to to get my hair lined up since early 2008 because I had no hairline to line up!

[PatientlyWaiting]

As you can see the hairline is still weak, it's not a strong hairline yet.

Here are more pics, these are before and after pics.

Before: March 29th - After: Today

March 29 vs June 13th.

dam, good regrowth, oris it lighting? tempted to ditch fin and get on this.

[25 going on 65]

Patiently, you probably have covered this already but do you have any concern that your regrowth has been more from restarting minox or possibly a regression of AA?

I broke down and ordered some Dutagen which is here now. I will continue Avo but am thinking about adding .5-1mg Dutagen, however I am very apprehensive about taking this med. Especially now that I have read some concerning things about the manufacturer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranbax...atories#Issues

(Check the "issues" section)

If it was not for your great results I would probably not even be thinking about taking this brand, but it seems legitimate based on your photos.

Maybe I will send capsules to a lab to get them tested

My first batch of Dutasteride is here today! Time to up the ante in the war against MPB.

[PatientlyWaiting]

Jaxx, it's not lighting. There is no hair to line up in the March 29th picture, none at all, it's slick bald there.

25, I read that before buying it, I looked in to the company thoroughly, but I still gave it a shot. It didn't stop me from buying it, because I felt like if InHouse sells their Dut then there should be no problem. InHouse is legit. Regression of AA: My AA spots are still there, alive and well, and at the same lack of density they were before I started treatment. My before/after pictures of my AA show that dut/minoxidil haven't made a dent on AA. It's frustrating, such good results on the much tougher to treat MPB, but nothing for AA. About restarting minoxidil being the reason for the results, i'm not sure about that, it could be. But I as I said, in the past when I used minoxidil with finasteride I never got any where near these results. Like I said, I haven't been able to line my hair up since early 2008.

ChrisM, good luck, you got Avodart right?

Yep. Avodart 60 pills to start off while finishing my Finasteride supply. A year of this with no results but no sides and I am done with Finasteride time to move on to the stronger cousin of Finasteride and see what it does for me.

[PatientlyWaiting]

I gotta keep saying this, because I can't stress it enough, I strongly recommend the use of Rogaine alongside Dut, guys. Dut+Rogaine is a lot better than Fin+Rogaine.

On top of that I strongly recommend a pre-treatment before you apply Rogaine to ready your scalp for the absorption. I sometimes vary between using apple vinegar diluted because it can burn to wash away dirt, oil and caked in sebum which blocks the hair follicle shaft and plugs it up. Also another suggestion would be an aspirin mask. Take some generic aspirin and crush them in water to form a paste and apply it to the scalp for 5- 10 minutes and the salicylic acid should do the trick and wipe out the waxy sebum build up working with the DHT locked in the hair follicle receptors. Also currently I am using a dermaroller that rolls stainless surgical steel microneedles that are 1.5 mm over the scalp without cutting it or breaking the skin but making small fine incisions pinprick incisions that go underneath the dermal layer and allow the Minoxidil to be way more effective.

BTW 25, if you do get them tested, post it here. It would be interesting if these pills are not legit, or not the strongest dutasteride. As soon as you post the results and they are bad, I will switch to Dr. Reddy's, which Aames tested and they were legit.

March 29 vs June 13th.

It looks like you're seeing some good progress, congrats!!!!

I am almost 90 days in on using Dr. Reddy's Dutas via Inhouse Pharmacy. I try not to look at my scalp everyday (so as not to make myself any crazier then I already am about my hair), but I think I'm seeing some very small white hairs appearing along my hairline that weren't previously there.

I was on Avodart 0.5 MG for a number of years (GREAT RESULTS at keeping my hair and regrowing some of what I had lost), but had to stop 3 years ago when my insurance stopped covering it. I then went back to Finasteride 5MG and was not happy with the results, it was all downhill!!!!

I was so glad to find and return to this site (I forgot about it) and read the posts about Dr. Reddy's Dutas. So thank you to all and I hope you continue to see positive results!!!!
