Success with low dose topicals?
I noticed after many months of oral dutasteride that unfortunately I got sides. They were manageable, but not something I would feel comfortable living with knowing that there are less aggressive medications. Regrowth was going very well, but I decided to switch to topicals. I started with DIY topical fin at 0.025%, noticed sides, and lowered to 0.005% which caused hairloss to resume.
I now feel trapped. I feel like I have to choose between hair and sexual function/general mood and if I sacrifice a bit of one of them I gain a bit of the other. I’m very eager to try low dose topical dut.
Has anyone experienced sides on oral and had success with feeling like you felt before starting fin/dut while keeping their hair?
