        Watch this, gave me manboobs after 8 pills, 2 a week for four weeks.....

        If you see the slightest sign of gyno, stop and immediately get on a estrogen blocker.

        You say RU and CB like they are easily attainable, this isn't the case is it?

            Funny bro.

            Probably Dut but you should be on Fin for a god 12 - 15 months before changing

              Dutasteride if you wanna get a little more extreme.

              Otherwise just stay on fin if you don't experience sides and wait for say BIM and Histogen to launch in the next 2-4 years.

                As far as I know, this happens in ca. 0.5% men. But in ca. 50% men on this forum LOL

                  He doesn't have to be on finasteride for 12-15 months. Why? Was he sentenced to it by some tribunal? He can go straight on dutasteride. Why to waste 12-15 months on a medication that may not work, when he can jump on dutasteride and have almost 100% chance to succeed?

                    Fin should always be used first over Dut. The reason is your more likely to have side effects with DUT because it blocks a lot more DHT than Fin does. Read the article from Bald Truth where Spencer Kobren discusses the differences between the two. Dut should only be used if Fin doesn't work. You have to give Fin a year to see if it works for you. Fin works for 9 out of 10 men. Those are pretty good odds.

                    According to Spencer Kobren:

                    "Propecia should always be your first line of attack. According to clinical trials you have almost a 90% chance of stopping the progression of your hair loss and a significant chance of regrowing hair that’s been lost within the past 5 years or so. If you fall within the small percentage of men who do not see benefits from Propecia you can always talk to your doctor about the possibility of using Dutasteride."

                    I have a question regarding the medications Propecia, Avodart, and natural supplement remedies for the treatment of male pattern baldness. I have early signs of hair loss where I noticed it within the past month. I am just losing a little in the frontal areas where the temple is. I am also 25 years old....

                      ...and if it doesn't work, you will end up totally frustrated and broken, with a lot of hair gone forever, and you will post a video on YouTube showing how you are throwing finasteride pills into a toilet bowl.

                      Why should anybody start with a less efficient medication, when he can have a much better result with a more efficient one? Remember that the results are usually dictated by Murphy's laws - similarly like in my case. I was afraid that finasteride wouldn't work and that it would further exacerbate my hairloss. And this exactly happened.

                      As I already wrote elsewhere, the chances of young men are lower than 90%. It is more like 80%, and there is also a higher probability that their hairloss will renew in the following years. Furtermore, they lose hair at a pretty fast rate. I repeat: IF YOU ARE YOUNG AND YOUR HAIRLOSS IS FAST, DON'T PLAY WITH FINASTERIDE AND JUMP DIRECTLY ON DUTASTERIDE!

                      This clever boy understood it very early:
                      http://www.****************/interact...egrowth-Dut%29

                      One of the funniest things is the eroneous idea that dutasteride produces more side effects, because it is "stronger". However, this has never been demonstrated. The differences between fin and dut in this regard are minute. In fact, as for the "sexual side effects" (the most feared by certain groups of men), dut can actually increase libido, which is logical, owing to its more profound effect on testosterone levels.

                        Yeah I'm one of the lucky ones that Propecia doesn't work for after 4 years of use and I can't take DUT because of this problem. I dont know what "ca. 0.5% of men" means...the ca part.

                        But yeah I'm sure it is super rare....why me, why me.

                              I've never had any issues with Avodart. No breast growth, or impotence issues. Maybe lower sex drive? I don't know. I can't be certain. Which basically means, if I can't be certain it's not an issue enough to give you any warnings.
                              Try it out, but remember everyone is different, so you may experience Gyno but I would say it's a long shot!
