    I never used Propecia, I went straight to Dutasteride. About 6 months later, I went on my first cycle, with 0.5mg/day Duta, and had mild hair loss. Personally, the hair I lost vs. what I gained, it was worth it - and trust me, I care about my hair.

    I just came off my second cycle and did 2.5mg/day Duta and regrew hair...on cycle. Do a little research on Duta. The FDA dosage is 0.5 but they tested all the way to 5 or 10mg. 2.5mg/day was substantially better than 0.5/day. 5mg/day was not much better than 2.5mg/day. Since it's expensive, 2.5 is the way to go. That's why I grew hair, I upped the dosage that I had been on for over a year.

    That is just me though. Most people I have seen on here say to stay away. There are a few that have had luck like me. One option is to use Test Prop. If you start losing hair, you can stop the Test and it will be out of your system in a few days. If you use a longer ester and notice some thinning, you have 2 weeks before that Test is out of your system.

    Again, use caution; I think I'm pretty lucky. You might be too. To me, the answer is easy: use Prop and see. Worst case you loose a few hairs. Best case you keep your hair and get jacked.

    thanks for the input..FYI I'm already on TRT a few years so my (I use cyp) so my test is already elevated to high normal levels for a 33 y/o. But I can say my hair looks abou the same as when I started finasteride five or six years ago. I guess I just need to put some more thought into it. But like the posters said above, I probably should just stay away if hair is that important to me (which it is). I'm somewhat familiar with Dut. but I'll check into it some more.
