Is anyone taking Flutamide for facial and/or body hair? If so have you seen good results? If you respond to this can you explain whether or not you are taking it for facial or body hair? Thanks.
I have been on it for four months coming up to five I am really on it for hair loss althoguh I havent noticed it improving there at all as for the facial/body hair its done wonders although I still have to remove the odd hair its nothign compared to teh ten to fifteen neck ones I had to do previously ..

im not on it, but my gyn. has a few patients who are taking it.
i just saw him and he told me, that they have great success with flutamide.
the shedding did stop very quick, there was long time no regrowth, one lady has now a lot of new hairs (regrowth), but you need to know she is now on it for the last 13 months. he said it will take that long to see a regrowht. i think there is hope. for the acne all patients are almost acnefree and the facial hair is more than 70% better.
I've been on it now for almost two weeks. I'm taking it strictly for the excess testosterone in my body. My main motivation in taking it is to help with scalp re-growth since I've lost about 1/3 of my hair with PCOS. If it decreases facial hair and puts the shape/fat composition of my body into a more feminine one, that would be good too.
My doctor prescribed 750 mg daily, though the studies I've read didn't seem to indicate that a person needed to go higher than 500 mg, so my goal is to slowly work myself up to 500 mg.
I started taking 125 mg daily on May 18. The first week I experienced a lot of nausea but it was tolerable. I upped the dose to 250 mg daily (one 125 mg pill in a.m. and one in p.m.) on May 25. Besides the nausea, I've been having trouble dealing with the overwhelming fatigue.
I wake in the morning feeling like I never slept and it's a fight to stay awake all during the day. I’m going to stick with this dose for about two weeks or so and see how I feel. If I’m tolerating it better, I’ll go up to 375 mg a day.
I have to have my liver enzymes checked in another two weeks to make sure the flutamide isn’t causing damage to my liver.
Thus far I haven’t noticed any positive results, but I really didn’t expect to see anything happen for a least the first few months. I do still feel the tickly/tingly feeling on my scalp from the DHT, so I’m hoping that at least that goes away within another couple of weeks. The studies I read said that the most significant results took place after being on it for eight months, so I guess that patience is key.
Thanks everyone! It sounds like flutamide has a pretty good track record. I've been taking spiro for around two months now and am wondering if I should ask my doc to switch to flutamide or give spiro a try. I'm mainly taking it for facial hair, although it would be great if my body hair could benefit also. Results with spiro just seem to be so much more iffy, and this is not something I'm willing to be patient about. It's facial hair for gods sake!
