stopping this nonsense

[CurlyBlonde]

So I really need to stop my hairloss once and for all while i still have some on my head! I’ve been taking DUT 1mg (two gel capsules) for two whole months and there has been no cessation of shedding on may pillow and i the shower, which isn’t a ton but still more than normal. and I can see a general diffuse thinning week by week.

I wonder why I’m not having any success on halting my hairless while so many people have great results with just finasteride 1mg. I am taking 1mg of DUT, that on paper should do the trick.


I am aware that I should wait 6 months before concluding if DUT is working or not but you would think that I would see some sort of cessation of the hair falling out right?

What else could I do? move up to 1.5mg DUT?

I’ve been taking DUT for 16 days now and I’m still shedding hundreds of hair daily. I’ve buzzed my hair down and my hands are still covered in hair while I shampoo, oil my hair, etc. I’m losing hair from all over my scalp including behind the ears, donor areas, side burns. There doesn’t appear to be any end in sight. It’s early but so far DUT hasn’t done anything to slow or stop my hair loss. When I started Finasteride 9 years ago, I noticed a pretty huge difference within the first few weeks.

All I can say is we are doing the best we can to save our hair. I know exactly how you feel. I’d take 0.5mg daily and just ride it out. Not worth the sides of taking increased dosage. 0.5mg should do the trick whenever or if it ever does. Until then, all we can do is wait. If this fails, I’m shaving my head and going the scalp micropigmentation route. My parents blessed me with a weird shaped head, my life would be over once the hair goes.

16 days is not long enough to know if DUT is working, from what I heard you should see a cessation in a month to month in a half. That's impressive that you saw an improvement that quickly the first time. I hope it works for you

I am 25 and almost NW3, my scalp is itchy and since I've began DUT I've noticed an increased libido but no hairloss cessation in any way since begining DUT. and I NEED my hair.

Thanks, I hope it works for you as well. Believe me when I say this, I KNOW exactly what you mean. For me, time seems to be running out. At the rate I’m dropping hair by the minute, Its crazy. Hair in my food, on my phone, on pillow, on the toilet seat while I’m sitting, in the sink, turn around and half minute later 2 more, gently pull an area on scalp to check, oh wow no hair this time, check same area 10 minutes later 2 hairs come out. I just always see hair everywhere! It’s sickening to the point I rather be dead. I know that sounds bad but It’s a helpless feeling.

Do you use minoxidil at all?

That’s something I may try out soon.
