I have been using Finasteride and Dutasteride
My original story is here http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1930
I've been taking 1mg daily Finasteride for a couple of years. About 4 months ago I decided to add 0.5mg daily Dutasteride to my regimen.
No side effects. Hair continues to get really thick at the top of my head. Now you can't see my scalp, even up close. My hairline continues to recover around the temples, it seems to be advancing very very slowly. Every once in a while I see the little peach fuzz hairs near the hairline turning black and turning into real hairs.
I don't have any scientific evidence that the Dutasteride is doing anything, but it seems to be helping. To be clear: nothing miraculous is happening, but my hairline is recovering very slowly. I will report more in a few months.

Can you post your entire regimen?
Also, how many finasteride and dutasteride pills per week?
Thanks, and glad you are having success.

That's pretty much it. Used 1 mg fin for 2 years, then added 0.5 dut 4 months ago. I tried using rogaine in the past but something about it really doesn't sit well with me.
As far as how many pills, one a day so 7 a week each. I used to buy propecia from the pharmacy here in the US, but now I order 5 mg fin from those online pharmacy things and cut into 4.
I've had fantastic results with fin/dut. See pics in my original thread. My results are probably atypical, it looks like I lucked out.

I am using both at the same time yes. I take both at the same time, whenever I remember to take them, day or night, doesn't matter much.
Absolutely no side effects from the dutasteride. If it was more affordable I'd take 2.5mg.
I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice. What works for me might kill you. Talk to your doctor before taking any medication.

This is old, but I've done the same with excellent results. I also use/used minoxidil.

Any updates so far? I'm also a long time propecia user, I've been using it for the last 12 years with great success, at least I'm not completely bald right now. But about 4 months ago, I thought I could get thicker hair by adding 0.5mg Dut daily, so I've been taking both fin and dut for the last 4 months. Not only did it not do anything, I have a lot of shed, and lost lots of hairs. My balding is becoming apparent now.
I don't know should I continue using both together, I don't know should I stop using dut or continue. I've already taken dut daily for the last 4 months, so if I stop now, will I lose even more hair? That's something called "up regulation" if I'm not mistaken. If I could go back, I would not have taken dut in the first place, but since I've already taken it, I don't know what to do.
Please help. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
