User experienced 6 months progress using dut 0.5 daily and oral Minoxidil 5mg daily, with some side effects. Others congratulated and shared similar experiences, giving hope.

A 24-year-old male experienced side effects like low libido and ED after starting finasteride post-hair transplant and is seeking alternatives to reduce scalp DHT. Suggestions include topical finasteride, Xpecia, DHT-reducing shampoos, and switching to dutasteride, with some users reporting fewer side effects with these alternatives.

Finasteride reduces scalp DHT significantly even at low doses, with 0.2 mg reducing it by about 55%, but higher doses like 1 mg and 5 mg offer only marginally more reduction. Users discuss side effects, with some experiencing none and others reporting issues like low libido, and they also mention using other treatments like minoxidil and dutasteride.

The user experienced reduced libido and erectile issues after taking 0.5mg dutasteride twice a week for 3-4 weeks. They are concerned about how long these side effects will last.

Finasteride users report reduced libido and increased hair shedding initially, but some see these as temporary or manageable side effects. Vitamin E and D-3 supplements are discussed as potential aids for libido and mood.
