Should I just do .5 dut I have really good hair and skin is really good cuz of accutane but heard it still helps also if I hop on. Some people be saying no point that i should do 2.5. Opinions?

go as high as you can without getting side effects

0.5 then 1.0 then 1.5 and so on

oh my fucking god why the fuck would you do 2.5 unless you are pinning 500+ test where you actually need it. the softgels literally come in 0.5 mgs so there are more options beyond just 0.5 and 2.5

there are plenty of topical antiandrogens for skin and hair too so its not like dutasteride is your only option to nuke DHT in both areas

Do you prefer oral .5 dut 3x a week or topical dut maybe like 2-3x a week with ru. I’m tryna see what I can run to get the least amount of sides without going systemic

I personally run 1.25-1.5 mg daily on 300 test p (so like 350 test e) to put me right around natty levels or slightly below. Topical dut won’t work there’s no such thing it can’t even penetrate the skin as it’s too large

I’m not sure what you are trying to do. For balding RU though I’m not sure if you can use it on your skin. For skin only topical/active I use is azaleic acid which is a weak AA though it’s hard bc I’m also on accutane so if my dose is too high my skin just gets irritated. 3x oral/week is okay though really depends on your age if you should be using it
 
I’m 20 tryna get the least amount of sides / low libido effects . I wanted use oral and try topical dut in the future but your saying it doesn’t work and it’s molecule wieght is too heavy , and ru I would just put it on my scalp if if I was gonna run the topical dut both it would like 2-3x a week

Yes I don’t even get the urge to masturbate anymore and I literally went soft fucking my gf (raw btw so it’s not a lack of stimulus). It’s 100% bc of dutasteride bc even tho I’ve stopped being horny to masturbate daily before test/dut I would still do it a few times a week now it’s not even once a month and even if I get the urge I just don’t feel like it cuz I can overcome it extremely easily

Is that common? Why I hear most is that side effects almost never happend

it is random. im on 2.5 dut and 0 side effects whatsoever, horny every day. had no sides on fin, no sides on 0.5

depends on your goals. if you dont have hairloss and want to preserve your hair, do 0.5. if you have hairloss and you want maximum regrowth, do 2.5 as it provides so much more regrowth, it suppresses 80% of DHT scalp when 0.5 suppresses only 50%. And if you have hairloss that got you early in life(15-20), do 2.5 aswell, chances that fin and maybe even 0.5 wont help you, as you have insane DHT sensitivity

Idc tbh, you get an answer for every possible situation

options between 0.5 and 2.5 are not researched well, so there is a chance you are doing 1.0 (for example) for minimum benefit. 2.5 makes sense for regrowth if you already lost a lot of hair or you have rarest conditions like DUPA

But it’s a diminishing returns case where doubling from say 2.5 to 5 wouldn’t give close to half the additional dht reduction as going from 0.5 to 1. We can extrapolate and say that 1.5 mg will be more or less as effective as 2.5 mg and while 2.5 mg could be 6-10% more effective than say 1.5 mg the question is if it’s worth your money

Though every percent closer you get to a 100% reduction is extremely significant I guess since 0 dht is infinitely less than >0 dht though I still dont know if it’s the best choice for natties combating hair loss

i believe that it does worth it to pay more money for more hairline regrowth and to be 100% confident that 80% of scalp DHT is gone and you will never have to worry about hair in your life ever again. Not about DHT at least

Did the effects go away?
No they worsened with time , went from having good erections on dut to soft erections only now , and i have to really put effort to get hard. Also my semen became watery af

So why not stop then?

Ye i think
That’s a decision you make, I cant argue against it, but I’ll be probably using it too tbh, but hair’s getting worse by the way

You can't imagine how brutal is a nw3+ man, i think you are doing the right thing , also don't cope with topicals or fin , dut is king

I’ll probably take dut, but if my dick don’t work or I start develop tits, I’ll probably have to reconsider tbh

2.5 if you can source it cheap and if its hardcaps see it as 2.0mg

if not 0.5mg will do you good aswell, if ur gonna roid though you gotta be on 2.5mg for that hair protection but I Think 0.5 is fine for natties and for some skin gains im on 0.5mg myself I have done some 2.5mg no sides but its just too expensive for me if I want gel caps
 
Avoid using oral DHT blockers, especially if you’re a teen u need DHT in your body but If you’re dealing with hair loss or using gear or dht derivative a topical anti androgen like RU is generally a better option.
