I haven't tried flutamide, just started dutasteride (avodart) a few weeks ago(and am on spiro and desogen). But like everything, I imagine it will be several weeks to months before you will really see any results from it. I think many women think they will see differences sooner, but from what I understand...the whole hair growing process is rather slow as far as turnover and follicles being affected so it doesn't seem possible that in a few days you'd be feeling any effects..it likely would have happened that way anyway. I know...it's so hard to be patient!! I feel like my hair has changed dramatically in the last few weeks and it feels so thin to me in the front. I have alot of miniturized hairs and alot that now poke up all over the place. I lose both terminal and miniturized still, but mostly the thinner hairs that are in the front.
