    Even though your DHT levels are very low, I bet mine even on dut+fin are still pretty high because I have a feeling I just have so much. What else would explain MPB starting at 16 and having it really aggressive at that.

      I took two different anti-anxiety pills for 1 month (1 script worth) right before I moved from a shitty rural state to a decent city in another state. I remember the pills made my d*** feel small and hard, similar to shrinkage when you're cold or when you're doing heavy weight lifting.

      Obviously, this was extremely uncomfortable. Also, I remember they were diuretics -- I was pissing incessantly. Libido remained relatively the same. Regardless, I quit the pills after 1 month and decided to find other ways to get over my anxiety. Just wasn't for me.

        Divorce is the worst ****ing thing you can go through especially if you didn't want it. I never liked how I felt on antidepressants. I just didn't feel right. I was only on them for a few months and stopped taking them. I remember it would take me awhile to have an orgasim when I was on them too.

        It hasn't been a good 4 years for me. I went thru a divorce, got gentian herpes from the first girl I dated post divorce, started to experience hairloss and I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

          Hi Aames. Congratulations on the DHT results. However I must ask, are you sure this is not the result of fin? I thought you had been on fin for a bit before starting dut and still take it every day?
          Or is your fin also from In House?

          thanks in advance

            Good question. I'm also on Dr Reddy's 5mg fin, which I would get from my local pharmacy.

              Is that recommended to take fin and DUT at the same time?

                Nope. No way. Doctors would definitely go against that.

                Since I have had no sides from fin 1.25 every day for 4 years, I upgraded to dut 0.5 every day and haven't dropped fin out of fear of losing the hair fin has maintained, if any. I know that dut is just a stronger version of fin, but I don't know, it's just senseless fear in my part I guess. I took my 5th dut pill today and still no signs of sides, but I guess it's too early to tell. I expect to have no sides though, I think my MPB is too aggressive and dut+fin at best would only tickle my MPB. That is where Rogaine comes in, I hope it gives me a little boost.

                  DUT seems the work real good. I will go on it if fin ever stops working. I wish you luck.

                    Thanks. I hope to see something in at least 6 months, but I am determined to give it 12-18 months in my case, since i've been balding for so long and just got on this aggressive treatment.

                    How is fin working for you now? It single handily slowed down my loss by itself. Man without fin, i'd be like the guy in my avatar by now.

                      This thread is a joke!!!!!

                      I find it personally offensive for us chrome domes to have be subjected to people like you pretending they are bald.

                      If I had half of your hair I would consider myself cured.

                      Honeslty get a f**cking clue!

                        See my profile. You see my results. I got on fin two weeks after I notice my hair loss. That is why I've had the results that I have had. I've also had no sides. I've been on fin for 1 year 1 mg brand name.

                          Very good. Are all of those "after" pictures? Where were you at baseline?

                            I didn't take an pictures at the beginning. Those pictures I took at the one year mark. If I sit under a real bright light you can see where it didn't get thick at the front of the right side of my part, but it has remained the same and hasn't gotten thinner. If I didn't take fin I'd be a NW7 in 10 years like my dad.

                              He's in the early stages of MPB. He's smart and doing something about it early on before he ends up a NW7.

                                I am in the same boat as you, too scared to just drop fin and rely on dut for now. My original plan was to wean off fin for the 1st 6 months of dut, but man, after 2.5 years of popping fin every day it is going to be a mindf*ck to stop....
                                Was hard enough to drop from 2.5 mg daily to 1.25 mg. My hair is the last thing I want to gamble
