When is it appropriate to switch from finasteride to dutasteride?

Spex Thanks helped me a lot.

I found the switch of benefit. I was on fin 17 years on fin and switched onto Dut with positive results.

I just started Merck Propecia a few weeks ago and reading all of this is highly discouraging to me. Propecia is supposed to halt hair loss for over 80% of men who use it, but reading this forum yesterday and today it seems it doesnt help most.

I'm around a norwood 3 vertex. My hairline is very receded and I've got a thin patch on my crown about the size of my palm. I am desperate not to lose any more. It's destroying my self image and consuming every waking moment.

Should I stick with Propecia, try to get dustasteride, or something else entirely? Please advise me.
