Regular Member blanc1 Posted June 28, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2015 will this happen? is it a possibility? thats why I am thinking of taking both at the same time, also I hear its more effective anyways but I am wondering if anyone has actually lost the success they had with fin because they switched over to dut and stopped fin.

Senior Member thatoldchestnut Posted June 28, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2015 I would highly doubt that anyone has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted June 28, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I also doubt that would occur since the mechanisms by which they work are the same. If you plan to use both, you may want to try adding just .5mg dutasteride a week to your normal finasteride regimen. An article published in the Australian Journal of Dermatology showed that this dramatically increased hair growth in a 47 year old male who had experienced loss of density after 4 years. Check out the following thread about this.

Senior Member ontop Posted June 28, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) David, Thank you, Interesting how this combo Meds works for some & not others. I guess if you feel that the Fin is not working so good say after 1 or 2 yrs then maybe try just 0.5 of Dut a wk but if i did that, I think ill drop 1 day of Fin though but only on the advice of your Dr that is.

Senior Member Cant decide Posted June 30, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 30, 2015 For some reason, I lose hair on Dut and more or less stabilize on Fin. I tried both at the same time and still lost hair. Dut is simply not for me I suppose. No side effects, just lost hair.

Regular Member ForeverLacey Posted July 12, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 12, 2015 I switched several months ago and haven't experienced any loss. However, any kinda significant hormonal change can trigger a telogen effluvium which is normally temporary. This would normally occur 3 to 4 months from switching drugs and lasting about 3 to 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
