If so, for how long have you been taking it, and are you happy with your results?

Been on dutasteride for a couple of months.

I alternate every other day with finasteride.

Maintaining my hair.

Whoa, you're taking both? I thought you could only take one or the other? o.O

Anyways I'm thinking of starting that instead of Propecia, but if I could take both...

I'm just getting desperate to keep what I have =P

It started to cause such a massive shed that I didn't stick it out to see if it would help.

But be warned, even for those that it does help, it has a reputation of wrecking the hairline. I remember "B Spot" confirming that many that took it reported the same thing.

The pictures I've seen seem to really help the crown a lot... I mean a whole lot, but the front, not so much. But if I can thicken up the crown/vertex and get a HT just in the hairline, well, that wouldn't be so bad either.

**** hair loss.

I use both, because I have a supply of finasteride that I would like to use up. Once the finasteride is completely used up, I will only dutasteride.

I'll be waiting about a year to see if it does anything. Assuming it doesn't, though, I want to be ready to make a switch quickly, rather than crying over it not working, which would... happen anyway =P
