>I take dutasteride and apply topical minoxidil daily.
This is so extremely harmful. I wish you the best of luck.
Edit: To whoever I upset, yes it is harmful to suppress your sexual hormones daily. Originally it was never intended for hair loss but for prostate cancer until Merck & Co. figured out they could market it as a 'hair loss pill'. You will find the popularity of fin/dut inflated on Reddit these days as (paid) moderators will remove anyone who speaks against it even those with first hand horror stories.
Not everyone is affected by the side effects you are mentioning. If 100 % of men were experiencing them I doubt Dutasterid would still be such a popular drug for bph
