Aames' Dutasteride Log

[25 going on 65]

My hair seems drier in between washes, if that makes sense. Also, I do think it is helping my acne. I have fewer active zits than before I started.

My hair seems dryer too, I asked for that reason. My skin seems dryer also....hard to say if it is from dut or other factors as of yet.

Have you noticed a change in scalp oil since you started dut?

jeez man I think you are really risking it with dut, you dont need regrowth, your hair is great
Fin I can see why as a preventative measure
but its your call

I just really want a NW0, I guess. And honestly, I think my hair looks worse in the mirror than it does in these pictures. Maybe it's BDD, but maybe it really is thinner than the pictures show.

How old are you? Your hair looks great. Good you caught it early, even though it's really hard to tell your losing anything. I would take 0.5mg finasteride everyday or every other day to maintain and possibly have regrowth (worked for me with no sides). Not trying to judge and I don't know much about dutasteride but it seems a bit extreme to jump on that with the amount of hair you have. Good luck. Hope you get the results you're looking for.

Btw, people have very different tastes in women. That Lights chick looks like your average kinda cute hipster chick at a big state college. The tattoos are a big turn-off as well. To each their own though.

21. Yeah, I know I am taking a risk. If I get intolerable sides, I'll probably go back to fin and maybe add a topical-DHT inhibitor.

on the other hand I think I am getting close to the end of my 7th month on Avodart 0,5 mg/day. I don't think it's working for me, till today I tried to deny it and was waiting for some results. I was hoping at least a little bit better than fin but no my hair gets looking diffuser day by day. I hope it works for you David Aames.

God, I'm really sorry to hear that. It's crazy how people can lose ground on duta, but you should really give it more time I think. Where do you get your duta from? Real or generic? Keep me updated, man. Also, you get bonus points for recognizing where my name comes from =)


On another note, I see my GP on the 19th. Hopefully I will be able to convince him to give me a blood test, so I can have the peace of mind of knowing my duta is legit. I certainly believe it is as I get pretty sleepy after taking it and my acne really seems to have improved.

Just thought I would do an update since I probably won't do another until my blood test. It has been a week and I seem to be doing fine. Nearly all of my acne is gone for the first time in over a year. I went from having 7-10 active zits at all times to a single very small one that is barely noticeable. I can't believe it would affect it that quickly but it certainly seems to be as I haven't changed anything else. I'm hoping this is a sign that my medication is indeed legit, but that will be confirmed with my blood test. Some days I barely shed and some I pull out a decent amount of hair when applying minox and styling my hair, so it's too early to comment on that. Libido comes and goes. It's hard to me to say since I suffer from depression and don't have a strong libido anyway, I'm on EC stack which is notorious for its stim-dick properties, and I've had 4 exams this week while running on little sleep so I'm pretty stressed out.

Wow. People who spend too much on this forum are actually going insane.

That's just baldozer, feel free to ignore him. He's a bitter NW7 who spends his days encouraging our hopeful members to shave their heads and blaming Propecia for every break-up throughout the history of relationships.

[Parker]

That kid Justin Bieber is definitely taking something. I remember he used to combover his hair, as if trying to hide something, but now he doesn't, maybe propecia regrew it. Now Selena Gomez also left him, that was perhaps because taking propecia made him impotent too!

Sorry to say that is preference only based on Lights the woman you indicated. I certainly can't see it .In my mind she does not even compare in aesthetics to Kate Middleton much less Kate Upton.

You think Kate Middleton is more attractive than Lights? That's crazy. But it goes to show how subjective attraction is. To tell you the truth, I don't really notice minor flaws in females like I do in males. I take females as an entire package: looks, personality, talent, etc. since I am considering them as a sexual partner. I have a hard time detaching myself from that. This may lead to certain "image" preferences even when pure aesthetics may be less than optimal. When analyzing a male, I can be critical and examine purely their aesthetic features since I am not attracted to them in a sexual manner. I'm not sure if this made sense but it is why I am thinking the way that I do when choosing Lights, despite her "crooked nose."

Anyway, enough of this nonsense. I THINK my acne may be clearing up due to duta. I'll have to wait to see if I'm just having a clear period (I go through periods of decent complexion and balls-to-the-walls break outs). No sides to report as of yet. Shedding isn't noticeably different. Sometimes it seems better, sometimes it seems worse.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Kate Upton is a refrigerator. The only woman I would be upset if I couldn't get it up for is Lights. She is my HBB and the only woman on earth I would white-knight.

Glad you caught it early buddy, I had that type of hairline when I was 20/21 years old. I'll be tracking your thread from now on.

[Soxfaninfl]

Thanks for the kind words. I sure hope I can maintain and regrow a bit. Have your sides resolved? Were you on fin or dut?

I've been on fin for a year. I have never had sides. You can see my results in this thread. I'm so glad I will never need a HT. Seriously why would anyone want some doctor cut into your head? Also, HT's are so expensive.

Ames, that is the key to start early on fin/DUT. I started early, and I have a full head of hair. My hairline is still the same it was before I started to lose my hair. Hopefully you won't suffer sides like me. I wish you luck!
