Aames' Dutasteride Log

[konfusion]

Yeah, hopefully clear results will appear at around the year mark. Have you taken pictures to document your progress? I know sometimes it may seem like your hair is getting worse when, in reality, it is staying the same.

let's hope so. and if not I don't have many chances, do I? I mean I will never ever touch spiro.
however I did something today probably I should never have done. I applied a little betamethasone dipropionate and it instantly took the itch away which I was dying to get rid of for the last 9 months. I am sure it is something but it cannot be used long term since it's a corticosteroid. It has unbelievable sides compared to fin/avodart including according to wikipedia: hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, cataract, anxiety, depression, colitis, hypertension, ictus, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, amenorrhoea, and retinopathy. so in no way I recommend to anyone but I was really furious about the itch that it even woke me up at night :/ I wish it had 0 sides because I can't believe how effective it is

Best of luck, man. While I hate to advocate or promote what I'm doing and fear for the safety of others that may read this thread, I'm glad that we're in this together. And yeah, I was very scared when I started fin (also Finpecia) and I think a lot of my initial sides were psychological. Apart from the ball ache, of course, which is a bit hard to conjure up in your mind. But all sides went away and I have no sides on duta thus far.


You will take it in the neck because you are wrong. The key to battling MPB is early treatment. That offers the best possibility of maintaining a full head of hair long-term. You, like many others here, are just bitter because you were in denial until your hair was noticeably bad. You want to criticize and bring down people like me that have a hope of having great hair. I seriously HATE it when people like you barge into topics and tell kids that it's "just a mature hairline." You are doing them a huge disservice by saying this. A mature hairline IS MPB. There's no way to tell how long you will hold onto a mature hairline. Maybe you'll be like Johnny Depp and hold a NW2 for decades, or maybe you'll be a NW7 in a few years. The only way to prevent the mental torture of the wait-and-see game is to ****ing treat it. Additionally, every male in my family has MPB and I can see the miniaturization and changes in my hair with my own eyes.

Thanks for giving it to me in the neck. As it stands you don't have hairloss, well not noticeable. You can't pre empt diseases and pump your body full of chemicals because you think you may get mpb. It's unnecessary like taking amoxicillin when you have a cold thinking "oh it may get worse". Look quite clearly I can't convince you because you are a guy who shows no signs of mpb but yet still persists to take some of the strongest drugs for mpb, infact duta isn't actually prescribed for mpb!! A person who is this blind sighted is obviously just going to stick to their guns and sadly it will probably be to the detriment of your health.

Oh and if you are taking duta and your aren't suffering mpb yet your body may start "getting used" to the drug so if say in 5 years you do start actually balding then it won't help you that much. You would have shot yourself in the foot by taking it too early.

No need to reply, it's your life, crack on and all the best

Wow, I've never heard of that stuff. Will have to look into it out of curiosity. You could try RU, man. Some pretty intelligent people on *** speculate that duta+RU should be enough for even the most aggressive baldness. Probably your last realistic option before surgery, especially if you're unwilling to try spiro.

Some have used fin for almost 20 years without a loss of efficacy. There's a study that proved it's effective for >10 years. I don't believe the drugs get less effective; your follicles just become more sensitive to DHT. I can always add a topical and, if worst comes to worst, spiro (absolute last resort). Sorry if I came at you, but I get very frustrated when people say I don't have MPB when I have noticed recession and crown-thinning. And, as I said, not having MPB would be the equivalent of hitting the genetic lottery given my family history.

Hey buddy,

Just checking if you have gotten any sides from DUT? Also, did you get that hormone test checked, wondering if the dustasteride from inhouse is legit. lol

Nothing other than occasional ball ache. I seem to get it completely at random. My acne is better and I swear I've noticed a lot of vellus hairs where there didn't used to be any. I believe my doctor appointment is on the 19th.

[drybone]

Seriously? Why are you even on this site. You are not balding!! Hypochondriac?

I don't mean to sound rude. But I find it quite demoralising and annoying when people with no hair loss come onto this site to "whinge" and plead their sob stories whilst there is nothing wrong with their hair. There are people on here with actual hairloss not just imagining it.

No offence at all but seriously it's very annoying.

No doubt i will get it in the neck for this post

I understand your frustration but I admire the guy. He has slight receding and the slightest beginnings to thin at the crown.

while that doesnt seem a lot to you or a guy like me who is almost 47, the kid is so smart hes decided to DO SOMETHING about it before he does go bald .

Its way easier to keep the hair you have rather than transplant it later. If he has few to no side effects, he should do whatever he can to keep his hair. Hes very smart

Thanks for the reply Aames, glad it didn't effected you much. Cool, I'll be waiting for those results mate. Thanks for taking one for the team.

HAHA this made me chuckle.

[Aames]

Just had my doctor's appointment. He didn't know a ton about duta/hair-loss in general, but he was extremely cooperative and ordered the blood-test that I needed. They will be calling me with the results. Fingers crossed.

[drybone]

lets keep our fingers crossed !!!

Good guy doctor.

Did you tell him you were self-medicating?

[Aames]

Good guy doctor.

Did you tell him you were self-medicating?

Yep. Told him that I ordered from the internet due to cost and wanted to verify that my DHT was actually being suppressed, in addition to checking for abnormally high estrogen or anything like that.

[garr3t]

Man, I hope your blood tests come back with positive results! I am thinking about switching to dut, and possibly ordering inhouse like you did. I've always worried about ordering from online pharmacies. By the way, hope you find the results you're looking for with dut, aames.

[PatientlyWaiting]

Anyone want to give me a NW evaluation?

Bro, you're like a NW8 already. Forget pills, just shave.

[PatientlyWaiting]

This thread is the pinnacle of trolling.

Taking fin is one thing, but Dut? You're literally insane.
You'll probably be one of those guys who denies he has side effects too, even to himself.
In a year you could be naked in bed with kate upton and probably not get it up.

Have fun with that, buddy.

Impossible. That is an instant hard-on, even if you see her in pictures. If she's in your bed, no matter how strong your side effects are, you're going to become rock hard.
