ashwajatha Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Inspite of reading many horror stories from Dutastride, I made a leap into it 4 Months ago which was a biggest blunder of my life ever done in choosing Hair loss products, ever since using it i experienced rapid and 100X more hair fall each day, I lost the best hair i had in just 4 months, i motivated myself saying Hairloss would stop now or then but it continued to fall every where (Temple(lost a lot), Side's, crown, back), then i made a decision to halt the treatment of Dutastride 15 days ago and started with finastride 1 mg...to my surprise hairfall has halted ( came down from 100x to 2x) which is manageable, and serum concentration is stopped hairs started to thicken every where..... I did not want to continue in using dutastride for few more months since the negative impact of medicine on hairs is at much higher rate compared to other medication's and I had lost lot of grounds due to this wonderful miracle drug, and its like gambling it could have made my hairs much worse or it could have grown more hairs, but am happy at last that the serum produced by dutastride is gone and my scalp and hairs feel and breath freshly Symptoms while on Dutastride : • Severe Itching in Scalp and flakes with high serum concentration. • High hairfall rate (100x) • Thicker hairs thinned out a lot and fell • Brain fog ( i was trying hard to recollect or remember). Guys please think before you start dutastride, you are bound to lose the best that you have got now, i remember only few has success rate with Dutastride. Ps Note : This information would not help the ppl who have been benefited from Dutastride..

Senior Member RCWest Posted July 27, 2012 Senior Member Posted July 27, 2012 That's odd. I've had nothing but good results with Dutasteride. I was on Finasteride for about 8 months before adding Dutasteride, and I had better results. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?
Senior Member Bobilero Posted July 27, 2012 Senior Member Posted July 27, 2012 People need to bear in mind getting on Finasteride and Dutasteride can trigger an initial shed of hair which will never recover. My own experience when i first started Fin, i had an horrendous shed in the frontal third which never recovered. I think it probably accelerated rapidly the loss of hair that would have been on its way out eventually. It was quite a shock though and something i didnt expect. I went in the matter of a month to not having to use concealer to having to use it daily.
