Aames' Dutasteride Log

[rm056789]

Started Dutasteride

Aames,

I commend you for starting early. I wish I had done the same, I started fin last year but stopped and my hair loss - particularly at the temples and hairline has progressed quite a lot. I am about 2 weeks into using Cipla Duprost (generic Dutasteride) and have noticed a massive shed - on the top of my head and hairline. Given the half life of Dutasteride (~240 hrs) I am using 0.5 mg every other day in efforts to keep costs down. Hopefully, this shed is a sign of good things to come!

Best of luck!

Thanks, brah. Yeah, I may very well just up my duta dosage instead of ordering more fin. And if you look back a few pages, I posted the results of a blood test I had that confirms inhouse's Dutas. Will post pics in two months at the six month mark.

Just read it and glad to see that it is legit!!! I was using 0.5MG of Dutasteride back in the day and now that I am using it again. Once more, wishing you success and look forward to seeing your pics.

How has your experience with dut been health wise? Did you have children?

As a point of reference, I started taking Avodart (Dutasteride) right after the Phase I FDA Hair Loss Study Results were released through to 2009. I have never experienced any health problems! I never had any children but without going into too much detail, I can at least share with you that I "got close" twice. There were no physical complications that ended the pregnancies.

Hope that answers your question and I am glad to be taking Dutasteride once again, as in my case it brought with it amazing results all the way around. Hope it will work its magic one more time.

I don't know if I missed it in this thread, but are you using Dr. Reddy's Dutas from inhouse pharmacy.biz?

BTW... Good for you for taking a proactive approach to your hair loss. Hope you have the success I did by starting early! I had more hair than you when I started using minoxidil at age 23. As time went by, I added Fin then switched to Avodart. As time passed, I would notice minor differences but no one else did. Kept getting compliments on my hair.

Now here I am at age 45 and it was only when I had to switch from Avodart back to Fin four years ago that I started to see a gradual difference that then became noticeable last June (new insurance company wouldn't cover Avodart for someone my age).

I am now 90 days in using Dr. Reddy's Dutas from inhouse pharmacy.biz. What I have seen is a major shed, but also seeing vellus hairs along my hairline and below it. Hoping this is a sign of good things to come...

Thanks for responding and I hope you keep posting updates. Btw, I know we all react in different ways to the available treatments, but the minoxidil/Avodart/nizoral mix is what kept the compliments coming my way for 22 years (damn I got old). You might consider dropping the Fin. Just a suggestion and hoping the Dutas from inhouse is the real deal.

Thanks for the support, man. And yes that is what I am using.

idk, but why the persisting slurred speech/ brain fog with some people even after they've stopped using it?

Do you know that some guys on finasteride experience periodical shrinkage of their testicles, while sitting on the toilet bowl during defecation? Read www.PROPECIAHELP.COM!

You will never suppress 5-alpha reductase completely, even on 1 mg dut/day. So what's the matter? Do 10-year old boys suffer from neurodegeneration, because their DHT levels are similar like in men on dut?

Very good point. You could say the same for pseudo-hermaphrodites.

Aames what was your sex drive like on your first 2 weeks of Dut? & what is it at present compared to your pre-Dut baseline?

I never really noticed a change to be honest. Seems to have remained constant both pre-fin, during fin, and during the addition of duta. I think I'll be able to say for sure once I stop taking ephedrine.

I remain side effect free, but I do sometimes worry about the long-term effects.

Brilliant results. Definitely convinced me to switch to Dut. With in-house, there's the Dutagen and the Dutas. Which is the one you use which is definitely legit? And I assume it's a gel cap exactly how it is on the site?

These are really awesome results. Wish I'd taken the leap to Dut to begin with. Might as well go for the strongest thing. Wish me luck!

Yes, it is a gel-cap. Best of luck, brah. I hope you maintain/improve your hair and are side effect free.

This is quite simply ludicrous. With a Norwood 1, which most people would go as far as to say looks even better than a Norwood 0, you choose to go on perhaps the most dangerous drug out there in duasteride. I really wouldn't go for anything more than keto/nizoral shampoo and lifestyle changes, and you take duasteride... Wow.

I was in a dark place and still am although I am hopeful for the future. I did not wish to go through life unhappy so I took a risk. Hopefully, it pays off and everything remains fine for me. If not, maybe some people out there derive some use from my experience and use me as an example.

Hey, my hairline is pretty much same as yours aames, I noticed my temples starting to minaturize a bit and want to prevent it early on. But wow, dutas isn't that a bit of an overkill considering its side effects. Would it not be better to use PDG2 inhibitor which will stop hairloss and use minox to get some regrowth. This way you're not risking growing breasts or losing dick.

I remain side effect free, but I do sometimes worry about the long-term effects. I don't know, man. PGD2 inhibitors seem to be a bit of an unknown to me at this point. Are people really seeing results using them as their sole treatment?

Look, if you want to lose your hair due to your own ignorance, that's your private business. Informed people realize that they have nothing to lose, when they start with the strongest stuff that is available. Dutasteride has been used for 17 years and it is known as a very safe and well-tolerated drug.

Thanks for the support, WarLord. I really wanted to talk to you individually but this site's new rules have made it hard to do that. Consequently, would you mind sharing your opinions/experiences in this thread?: http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12752

No e-stalker, but I believe that I have seen you post on other forums about your experiences (elitefitness and other hair loss forums). I am interested in what you have to say.
