User experienced severe brainfog and anxiety from oral dutasteride and is considering dutasteride injections with PRP for hair loss, while currently using finasteride and oral minoxidil. They seek others' experiences with dutasteride mesotherapy and its side effects.
The user experienced headaches and brainfog with a topical solution containing Dutasteride, Minoxidil, Tretinoin, Fluocinolone, Latanoprost, and Caffeine. They are considering switching to oral or topical Finasteride to see if it alleviates these side effects.
The conversation discusses using a 0.1% topical finasteride solution twice daily after experiencing brainfog from oral finasteride. A user suggests trying the solution once daily for a few months if concerned.
The conversation discusses the difficulty in distinguishing between side effects of finasteride (like brainfog and loss of libido) and depression caused by hair loss. Users share experiences of severe depression while on finasteride, leading some to stop the treatment despite anxiety over hair loss.
The FDA warned that topical finasteride can cause serious side effects like sexual dysfunction and brainfog, similar to oral finasteride. Compounded topical formulations pose additional risks due to lack of regulation.
