My Finasteride progress

[Notcoolanymore]

Yeah, keep us up to date on your progress. I am on fin now, only 5 months, but will consider dut if I don't continue to see progress.

I just received 180 soft gelatin capsules of 0.5mg dutasteride.

Here's hoping that this will help stop the hairloss and possibly reverse it! I'll start a new dutasteride thread in the coming days once I take a few pics of my hair.

Any updates?

Nice post.

Yes, I never updated this.

I've been taking 0.5 mg dut every other day since posting this. I can tell you it has stopped my hairloss in it's tracks. My younger brother has already shaved his head several years back and he doesn't take any meds to stop it. He's active duty military so he can't. I'm 35 now and still have my hair at the same levels as before. I may have lost just a tiny bit of the thinner hairs on my front hairline but it's not really noticeable.

I also use over the counter one percent Nizoral every day or every other day depending on how I feel.

There are days I forget to take dut but I try to do it every other day.

As far as side effects go, I'm just not seeing them. I go to Gold's gym almost every single day starting in 2018. My lifts are powerful. I run, I sprint, I do all kinds of heavy compound lifts. I have a low body fat percentage and a healthy sex drive. Sometimes I do feel that maybe the dut makes me uninterested in engaging but it doesn't affect me once the clothes come off. Hah. I was genuinely worried when people said they were getting fat and losing their sex drive. I think the mind is a powerful thing. I was determined to improve myself in every area.

I also have to say, even if I stop taking Dut and lose my hair, I won't be upset. I feel that I've matured over the years to a point where I realize that it's just hair. I see so many successful balding/bald guys out there enjoying life. A big thing is control what you CAN. Like getting a gym membership and setting a goal to become a beast.
