It was my understanding that the results supported the use of dutasteride to fight off the diminishing effects of long term finasteride use. I didn't remember age being a factor at all; just the length of time on finasteride. Anyway, it doesn't matter much. DoctorHouse are you taking dutasteride just once a week...

I wish I saved the study citation that I read, but I recall it showing that the once a week dosage of dutasteride on top of regular finasteride usage was effective in increasing (or maintaining) hair. The study was for long term finasteride users where finasteride has become less effective overtime. Anyone have a...

A study I read before starting my one pill a week suggested it was an effective addition to simply taking finasteride alone. Nope not taking steroids, I've always been a slim guy but had a bit of a spare tire around the midsection. I've been training BJJ since January 2013 and I'm now a...

Hey, so here's my story briefly: I've been using propecia since I was about 23 (32 now) and it has worked very well for me; and up until about the last year or so I've noticed that my hair is thinning out in the norwood 7 pattern. It looks like diffuse thinning but I have also receded quite a...

Thanks, guys. I'm going to try upping the dose see how that goes.

I still have a good amount of hair; maintained a norwood 2 since I was about 22 (31 now) . I've been freaking out a little lately because my hair seems to look like it's starting to go again, but in a diffuse pattern this time. I've always had very fine hair, but it seems noticeably worse over...

Finasteride is the active ingredient which is no longer under patent. So the name Propecia or Finpecia means nothing; they are just brand names. Save your money and ask for Proscar (or other equivalent brand). Then cut up the pill into 1/4s and your good to go on the cheap. I imagine the...

Hey all, I've been taking finasteride (proscar cut up into 4ths) since I was 22 years old (I'm now 31) and have maintained. Probably should write something up in the success section I guess. I've never experienced any noticeable side effects either. Over the last few months I've noticed some thinning...

If I was you I would continue with propecia and maybe consider switching to dutasteride. Also, if you haven't already, start using Nizoral at least 3 times a week and start using rogaine foam at least once a day. See how that works for a few months if your hairloss continues consider trying...

Your head looks like a round ball of hair I can't even tell which end your face is on. Is that vertex thinning or what???

If propecia, rogaine and nizoral after 1 year do not appear to be working there are only a few good options in my opinion. And yes I think one should stay on propecia even if it does not appear to work. Rogaine on the other hand I'm not sure about. 1. Dr. Proctors stuff (use all of it!)...

I am pretty sure that he has used his "2nd gen" peptides on mice experiments with success. If you search through his cluttered website you can find it. You also have to consider the fact that there are a lot of people who swear by his other skin care products that use his "2nd gen" peptides...

Dr. Proctor uses copper peptides in his stuff but they are not the same as in Tricomin. This does not mean that they are not just as good. I would say that you probably do get more for your money with Dr. Proctors stuff but they are also damn expensive. I am pretty sure Dr. Proctor has his...

I agree price wise Tricomin is a huge rip off. Folligen is cheaper and lasts a long time so its not bad. Folligen also supposedly contains much higher concentrations of Cp's. Something like 5x as much? There is a debate as to weather Folligen's Cp's are as effective as the GHK Cp's in...

Well, according to Dr. Pickhart who invented the original SRCP's (skin remodelling copper peptides) they help prevent the formation of DHT and can thicken existing hair follicles. Cp's may not regrow new hair but they can help keep the ones you have thicker and healthier. This is all according...
