User experienced significant hair regrowth using minoxidil and dutasteride, along with microneedling, vitamins, and massages. Despite recent shedding, they hope it's a synchronized hair cycle and plan to continue the treatment.
community Hair greed made me switch to Dut too early
The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss but faced increased shedding and anxiety, regretting not staying with finasteride longer. Other users shared mixed experiences, advising patience with dutasteride, as it may take up to a year to show results.
community Another update. Almost a year on Dutasteride and Oral Minoxidil, after several years on finasteride and topical minoxidil. I’m fairly certain my hair is objectively worse than it was 5 months ago.
A user's experience with hair loss treatments, including Dutasteride, Oral Minoxidil and Finasteride; potential side effects; and the potential of using anti-androgens or microneedling.
community Long term fin users (3+ years): Do you still shed periodically?
Long-term finasteride users often experience periodic hair shedding due to natural hair cycles, even after several years of use. Some consider switching to dutasteride, but concerns about side effects and the effectiveness of finasteride remain common.
community People with ALOT of shedding on Finastride : My 1.5 year thoughts and UPDATE
The user experienced continuous hair shedding for 16 months while on finasteride, with periods of improvement. They also used T Gel shampoo and noticed a reduction in hair loss symptoms after 18 months, including the return of their sex drive and normal hair texture.
