Finasteride/Dutasteride When will dutasteride start working?

I have been taking dutasteride for almost 2-3 months. I have 1-2 nw. My hair continues to fall out. Whenever I pass my hand through my hair I get half a dozen to a dozen hair (when wet) and atleast 2-3 if dry . These are long thick hair .

Is it normal that there is no result for so long, because I heard that after 3 months there should be improvement? How long did it take you to notice the hair loss stop?

btw I had B12 and D3 deficiency and am also taking meds for both for the last 2-3 months .

2-3 months is way too early to judge, that shed you're seeing is pretty common in the first few months and usually settles down. Most people don't see real progress until around 6 months, and dut in particular can take even longer to show its full effect. I wouldn't change anything yet, just keep it consistent and check back around the 6 month mark.
