I’m currently on finasteride. I’ll be switching to Dutasteride and oral minoxidil in about a week or so. I am losing my hairline and my top is noticeable getting thinner. I don’t know what happened, but it seems like my hairloss has progressed a lot in the past month or so. I’ve been cutting weight and have been stressed. I don’t what the cause of the sudden loss is or if it’s just seasonal shedding, but my hairline is starting to show the initial signs of a widow’s peak. my hair part is starting to look crappy as well.
Anyway, My question is; should i switch from finasteride 1mg a day to dutasteride 0.5 mg a day/3mg oral minoxidil a day right away? I don’t know if i should start both at the same time, because of shedding phase of both of these medications can be brutal and I can just lose my hair. It seems like dutasteride has killed a lot of people’s hair from posts i’ve read on reddit. What should i do? Taper off finasteride? Start dutasteride first? Start oral min first?
