Hello,
The switch has been a solid change overall in every area. Ive not had any issues with the medication from a side effect point of view but never had any issues with finasteride after 16 years on it and i feel very confident it has helped my hair overall . The crown region has definitely not got any worse and if anything slightly better.
Ive not given it any real time or consideration and not been fixated on it hence why not been updating.
Im definitely continuing with DUT.
I hope this helps and satisfies you.
Regards

I've read this post a couple days ago and it had me thinking.
I am 23 and on name brand propecia 1mg for 1 month, after being generic for 7 months, and i still haven't seen results at all and started shedding a ton.
I want to start DUT
but after reading your post I learned your body had started to tolerate FIN and then you switched to something more powerful to hold you off for maybe a decade or more
If i start DUT now then I will not have anything to switch in say like a decade if my body begins to tolerate it.
I haven't seen any results yet and I just went through a huge shed, All I want to do is stabilize my hairloss so then I can maybe fix up my hairlineComment

Woahh 12!!! how much many did it cost, wht was the time range of those hair transplants and how many of those were successful, and wht were the average grafts per hair transplant. Thanks for answering really appreciate it. I'm a 15 year old who's hair has thinned from hairline and my bald spots are noticeable and i think my crown has started to recede too I think. Ur welcome to look at my thread to see the pics. I didn't get much help so I was hoping u could advise me wht to do about my hair.
Regards!!!!!Comment

My Ht's are well documented online and in the media just google me. My site is in my signature too.
At 15 years old don't be in any rush mate to do anything. You've hot puberty and hormones all over the shop. Get on a good hair vitamin and MSM and try park the situ. You'll be ok !

Do u recommend rogaine 5 percent foam and propecia. How long should rogaine alone should last for me? If u check my pics from my thread u can tell my hairline has receded and hair has thinned. My crown is starting to thin out too. Advice would be great.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. Missed this one. Romaine is only a temporary solution and might buy you 2-5 years. If your not willing or abe to take finasteride though its the best and only option to try help keep the wolves at the door.

If you are just starting, it is STUPID, in my opinion, not to try everything you can.Comment

i would try both definitely but i am 15 and finasteride could be a problem. Money is also an issue since i am dependent on parents money and they think i should deal with itComment

As a physician (though one not in a field remotely related to dermatology or plastic surgery), I think that OP is very foolish to go to dutasteride with the hair he has in that photo, assuming the front of his scalp has comparable density. Dutasteride has not been well studied as a tx for hair loss (have its long-term adverse effects been studied at all?). I asked a dermatologist a couple of years ago about starting Dut because I felt that the finasteride wasn't cutting it anymore, and he persuaded me - at just 26, when balding is TRULY traumatic - that Dut would be an ill-advised route to take.
For crying out loud, just get a mini FUE procedure. About 150 grafts would make the area of concern (which seems little more than a slowly thinning whorl) look pristine.Comment
