any former dutasteride users here? sides or just anxiety?

[alcibiadesisace]

can any other people here who are/have been on dut and quit share your experiences of stopping the drug?

i first took dutasteride in early 2015 (i have never used propecia), was on it for about 5-6 months until i quit (didn't seem like it was doing much for me in terms of regrowth and i decided just maintaining wasn't worth it) - i started again later that year but quit again after a couple of weeks.

i tried again this year to get back into it, was on dut for a couple of weeks in july but decided for good that i didn't want to stick with it and threw the rest out. i read up about the sides before taking it and the consensus was sides are rare but if they happen they will stop after taking it but i'm starting to get worried as i read further

i'm around 4.5 months off now and sometimes i worry if my libido/morning wood isn't the same but i can't tell for sure if anything has changed. i also have compounding issues (my bmi is 33 and i had ocd/anxiety long before i even started on dut)

will a simple blood test for testosterone/dht be enough to rule out any physical cause? anyone else here going through anything similar?
