Aames' Dutasteride Log

[BudskiiHD]

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.

[JustAYoungMan]

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.

[Avo]

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!

[Aames]

Fake dutasteride? He can verify, if it is legit, quite easily: By measuring his blood DHT levels. He can also send it to a lab (I recommend ARLOK.COM in USA; the cost is 150 USD).

Exactly. This is what I did. Thanks for the recommendation regarding Arlok. I really don't want to have to convince my gp to give me blood tests year after year (I plan on doing a yearly test).

[WarLord]

Or....there is always the internet.

I'm doing fine with my online-purchased dut.

But I understand the psychological effect thinking the drug is fake can have on you. If you can afford it, by all means just get it from your doc prescription. But for me it doesn't get any better than $130 for 6 months of dut being a college student, if taken 0.5mg/day. And it's only $240 for 360 caps, which is basically 1 full year if you take 0.5mg/day. I'm aware from brand name [Avodart], it's something like $1,300 for 360 capsules. What you spend on Avodart for 5 years, you'd have a enough for a small HT. The question is, would taking Avodart for 5 years, give you the results of a small 1,200-1500 graft HT? Even with Rogaine, probably not.

With $1,300 worth of generic dutasteride, I can buy 10 - 180 capsules, that is 1,800 capsules. You'd be able to take 5 - 0.5mg [2.5mg] dut caps a day, every day, for a whole year, and then still have a 4 months supply left for the year after, at 5 x 0.5mg pills a day. That means you'd be worry-free of buying dut for at least 16 months. If you only take 0.5mg a day, that's a whole different story. You'd have dut pills from here until the next big hair loss treatment gets FDA approval.

You guys sound like you have the money though, so it's all good, but damn you spend a lot on those pills bro. Join the dark side and go generic, save the rest for some Histogen shots in the year 2020

[25 going on 65]

Can my doc prescribe it? I am interested in giving it a shot .

Your GP probably will not want to prescribe it, but technically yes, it is legal for him/her to do it.
My gp and derm both refused so I ended up calling a couple of hair loss specialists and went to the first one who was willing to prescribe it. I would do the same in your shoes....call or email specialists asking if they prescribe dut for hair loss. No need to waste time and money on appointments unless you know you can get what you want before going in

[drybone]

This is misinformation. People think that when dut is "stronger", it will also have "stronger" side effects. This is not true. In fact, as for the "sexual side effects" (most of them imaginary and psychological anyway), dutasteride may actually increase libido, owing to its effect on the increase of testosterone levels.

Personally, I observed no sides on fin whatsoever.

On dut, I got acne on my back during the first 2 months, but it seems that it starts to subside now. Oh, yes, and increased libido as well

Sorry if this has been answered already mate but how long did dutasteride take to stop your shedding? And how many hairs were you losing then vs now?

I think mine came today but I'm gonna have to go down to the post office collection thing to get it tomorrow.

I'm pretty sick of still losing hair, I'm not losing loads, seems like 50 a day at most, but the majority of that seems to be coming from the hairline which definitely isn't normal.

Hey, brah. I noticed a decrease in shedding around the two month mark or so. The itch went away completely and I stopped losing so much hair when applying minox. It was pretty noticeable.

[Aames]

Good luck to me?

No mate, good luck to YOU:

Please explain the following statement on the above link:

He was laughing at your comment and saying good luck to me. Maybe if you spent more time learning how to read properly and less time trying to start arguments, raining on other's parades, and cherry-picking studies to support your anti-fin agenda; you would realize this. Go back to propeciahelp and stay there. It isn't our fault you got sides. How mad will you be when I regrow a juvenile hairline and suffer no sides? I truly feel bad for people like you, but most of that sympathy goes out the window when you allow your bitter feelings to cloud your judgement and bring down others. Fine. You don't want to use oral DHT-inhibitors. We understand. Hop on RU or something and move the **** on.

Lolz.

In all seriousness, good luck.

Please explain the following statement on the above link:

5a-reductase isoforms
Type 1: Located throughout the body, high in liver, low in prostate.
Finasteride competes competitively with T for 5a-reductase type 1.
Reversible enzyme inhibition.
Type 2: High concentrations in prostate, low in most other tissues.
Finasteride exhibits time-dependent inhibition of 5a-reductase type 2.
Very slow off rate (~30 d). Virtually irreversible enzyme inhibition.

Ive been on Fin for 3 1/2 months and I swear it has done nothing in the slightest in fact my hair looks a little thinner in the front and no difference in the crown.

I was ok with the fin side effects but hear the DUT is a whole other level. What can the average guy expect with the DUT ?

You must reckon with that affected hairs will enter the telogen phase and will fall out after 1-2 months. This is the shortest period, within which you can expect the cesation of hairloss.

I started to add dutasteride to my regimen on 9th February, and all I can say is that the shedding stopped during March. But I don't know, if it had anything to do with dut. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter, because fin did nothing in me anyway. I will quit this ridiculous crap completely within the next 2 months.

Cheers, that seems logical. I've been on fin 3 months now and I've seen no or little reduction in shedding from my hairline, my overall shedding has stopped but that was from TE I believe.

I'll continue to use fin EOD until I run out which will be in just under 2 months time, that should give enough time for the dut to kick in which I'll hopefully start tomorrow.
