    The user has been on dutasteride for 4.5 months after switching from finasteride due to hair thinning, and is experiencing significant hair loss despite also using minoxidil and microneedling. Many responses suggest that dutasteride takes time to show results, often requiring patience for up to a year or more, and recommend not stopping finasteride abruptly to avoid shedding.
