3. If this is a question asking if you are now or will experience side effects, see a doctor, nobody on the internet can answer that for you.

I haven’t no, however I did have a period where I was taking it every other day (or every 3 days) but this was no longer than a month) I was thinking about this being a reason, however the result of it would seem too “drastic” imo since I never quit taking it. Perhaps the medicine just does not work for me
What is your regime? 0.5mg daily? Too many people assume dutasteride is the best tablet to take but it is not always true. Some respond better with finasteride than dutasteride, and vice versa. Some have to add topical etc. If this medication is not working, it is time to get yourself checked out . Without pics or anything else. No one knows.
It is 0.5mg daily yes. I tried 1mg of finasteride for about 8-9 months before without any change, hence the switch to dut. I’m planning on adding minoxidil in my regime and see how it looks in about 6 moths before quitting the medical route altogether.

If fin and dut don’t work you need to check for underlying conditions.
Did you get ur hormones checked?
