Dutasteride without a prescription?

[TotallyScrewed]

Given the importance of sleep to both body and brain (and the fact that it's well-known that you do better on tests if you sleep rather than study more), med students' insistence on not sleeping has always baffled me =P

And don't forget not sleeping ****s with your hormones pretty badly, too.

So you noticed NO initial reduction in shedding after starting Propecia? I noticed an IMMEDIATE, dramatic drop, but my hair was still thinning as it grew, and the shedding gradually increased (over a month to about half where it was back from about a fifth, then over the next month to where it had been, and then continued and is now worse than it ever was, all while receding and thinning. Pretty depressing.

Its hard to say. I would say that perhaps I noticed a change in the shedding. I was losing less of the tiny little minaturized hairs compared to full-size hairs. It seemed that most of the hairs I was losing had a large bulb. However, this was around the time I had decreased my minoxidil usage substantially (terrible itching, and flaking). Its hard to say. I was planning on just sticking it out anyways, but decided to give DUT at try.

Also, I definitely agree about the sleep thing. My class rank would seem to say otherwise though The highly fluctuating levels of my stress and erratic schedule seem to complicate finding any single correlation between shedding and treatment.

Anyways,

I found a great webpage that has the profile of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodymanics of Dutasteride if you're interested. It talks specifically about "effects on other hormones" as well, and basically only Testosterone changes (increase)...and estradiol(estrogen) doesnt have a significant change.

ordered mine just now. yikes that was expensive ($480..). how's your hair loss atm?

[Aonyx262]

Yeah, its expensive.

Sorry it took so long. Its hard to say if my hairloss has gotten better or not.

It doesnt seem to have gotten any worse. As far as shedding goes, I shed the most when I use minoxidil, so I've tried to cut it down to once per day. I think I have some kind of scalp reaction to PG and I get this itchy plaquey stuff on my scalp. The only difference I've noticed is that when I shed, I'm not shedding the little tiny almost translucent hairs any more, but typically the bigger more terminal looking hairs with a bulb on them. No idea what this means.

A couple additional observations:

-I use Caboki on my crown, I've noticed I've needed less to get solid coverage.
-Before I started Dut, I could see my scalp through my hair behind my hairline, this seems to be all but eliminated now.
-My hairline itself hasn't improved nor gotten worse at this point, but the hair behind my hairline and in general seems a bit stronger and possibly thicker. I notice this the most when brushing my wet hair...its a bit less limp and it feels fuller when I pull the brush through it.

I don't have any pics, but I will take some about 6 months after starting Dut(and 9months after starting finasteride) or if I start to see something dramatic.

Also, no sides that I can tell. Nothing. My current regimen:

-GSK Avodart 0.5mg Every third day (at least 24 hours after the last finasteride dose)
-Generic Finasteride 1mg every day except the days following Avodart (hopefully to reduce potential competitive inhibition between the two drugs given Avodart's long half life)
-Nizoral 2-3X per week (dunno if it does anything but help with the flaking from minoxidil)
-Minoxidil ~1-1.5mL qd

Go to inhousepharmacy.vu they do not require a persciption. They are 100% legit. I just received my Fin from there on Monday! Great customer service cheap prices. They have Dut as well. U have to pay wits echeck though but it's pretty easy. If you don't know your bank routing number or your account number you can just go to your bank and get the info.
