Hello Gents and ladies,

Don't waste your time. Let it come on slow and easy so you can drop the dose if you have sides.
That sounds like an absolutely fucking terrible idea.
Let's front load a bunch of a drug with probably one of the longest half lives of any commonly used drugs in all of bodybuilding. LOL. If it turns out the shit doesn't agree with you you are gonna be in for a world of hurt if you front loaded a bunch of it

No and it's not a great idea, crashing DHT like that... like asking for a mood disorder
Anyway, the process how duta works is very gradual; it's definitely not an instant gratification compound (I mean, maybe you'll notice a difference in 6 months, maybe not)

I've been on duta for over a decade and have almost no serum DHT. What what things were supposed to happen to me again other than a full hairline?

I got no side effects either.
Bu like others said: I wouldn't recommend front loading something that you don't know how you respond to.

Just wanted to get that off your chest?
Seems like people on these drugs have a chip on their shoulder about PFS and get mad if anyone even mentions it... "PFS is made up and doesn't exist!" Lol

Just wanted to get ahead of the raw milk drinking, anti-vax, pro DHT comments before they flood in.

horrible idea. dut works don’t get me wrong but it’s very very very powerful already. it makes me want to explore the topical anti androgens because people only talk about the side effects well what about the fact that testosterone is still gonna be present in the scalp

plus you have to come off when you’re gonna have kids anyways so

Anyone notice that the 2% of people with PFS get angry when the other 98% mentions no sides. And never mind all the AAS they abused to get to a point where they needed finasteride, it can only be the one thing casuing their ed.

This is definitely not true. Before the Facebook group trt and hormone optimization was taken down I saw several people with it that never did more than trt. Could the cause be something else? Sure. But the generally prescribed doses are quite high. I think 5mg daily for finasteride? Ghoul was getting no hair loss on just 0.25mg a day. Why crush dht if you don't have to? I'm sure that has it's own set of problems just like crushing other hormones like e2 or testosterone. Some people just get along better than others.. just like how some people can do fine on nandrolone only cycles even though test and e2 are buried and others lose their mind

Seeing "several" on a fb group when it's been prescribed to millions is not really damning evidence.

Because it doesn’t have any benefits. Hair loss, loss of elastin, upregulation of sebaceous glands (meaning acne). It’s not anabolic (metabolised by 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in muscle tissue (non-androgenic tissue)). There isn’t a good reason to have it circulating your body at all.
Been on 2.5mg Dut for over a year. No issues at all. No regrets being on. I knew sides were an meme by r/tressless schizos so I didn’t bother with 0.5mg. 2.5mg vs 0.5mg serum levels are practically the same anyway (nuked), just scalp DHT there’s an extra 30% suppression.

Yeah there’s no reason at all to have the most potent androgen circulating. Makes sense.

LOL. DHT can’t be the main androgen when it’s effects are mostly paracrine. Testosterone is the main circulating androgen. Absolute uneducated moron.
It's not even dht that might be the issue, it's neurosteroids that are scary to mess with.
- Dutasteride: ~60–70% reduction in CSF allopregnanolone/THDOC (strong CNS impact).
- Finasteride: ~15–25% reduction (modest CNS impact).
