After qutting finasteride, and starting dutasteride I noticed a big shed after three months. So I added 1/4 of proscar almost everyday. The shed seemed to slow down soon after. I haven't expericed any regrowth but I seem to have maintained my hair since I added the 1/4 proscar. I start dutasteride in Oct '06...

My scalp was sensitive too and I was breaking out, but oddly when my ALC/ALA ran out things began to clear up. Dropping that for a while might be something to test out.

To be honest, I don't remember how I first got it. I thought it was OTC, but I looked up the first available date of the 2%, and it was sometime in November of '95. However, that was my freshman year in college and I was definitely using minoxidil in highschool. So I must have had a prescription...

They are legit...took about 2-3 weeks to get the goods but customer service was prompt when I inquired. The avodart is the french version They send it wrapped up in a magazine but comes with all proper packaging. The pills have the same markings as the stuff I got from Elitenet which I think...

Re: Chemical J's Story You might consider using a minoxidil product.

At 18, it's not likely your problem is just agressive male pattern baldness. You should get some pictures up, though. Because you are 18, I would guess it's just a shed. Is there anything else going on in your life that could influence this? Stick with your current program for six months and then evaluate...

I think most of you who are in their early 20's can do a lot better then I did. When you speak of throwing everything at it, you really should do it. Not just the "big three" but everything. Sprio, Tricomin, xandrox, laser comb, vitamins...all this crap and more. Not to mention don't drink...

Ten years ago I wouldn't find too many good pics of me, because I was freaked and wore a hat all the time. Might be hard to imagine, but my hair was about the same length as yours is now. I had a receding hair line, and there was no obvious bald spot in the back like there is now. Propecia...

History - I'm 30 now, been on finasteride since sometime in '97, maybe even '98. Started Rogaine sometime between 16 and 18 years old. So it's been a while...My dad (who I look exactly like) has always had very, very thin hair and was probably worse then I am now when he was 30. But he didn't take...

Are you seriously taking dutasteride to stop your acne? Just like dutasteride should be a last resort of baldness sufferers, it should also for you...or it should not even be an option. What else have you tried for your acne? The biggest contributor to acne is your diet. Have you eliminated sugar and starch...

Re: Looking for long time finasteride users that switched to Dutaste I took finasteride for nine years and then switched to dutasteride. I've lost a lot of hair since I started dutasteride. But my existing hairs are stonger. I started off still taking propecia while taking dutasteride for a month, then switched on only dutasteride for...

If you can afford it, I'd go with the avodart. There are a few stories here and there about people who had issues with the credibility of the generics. But who knows what to believe. And I'm taking dutasteride + finasteride five/six times per week. Still can't say whether there is any +/- effect yet, but I...

1. As of right now it seems to be worse since I moved to .5 every day. But that might now be true at all, see my statements at the bottom. 2. I had acne all through my teens, but I started taking Propecia at age 20, so I wonder if it would have subsided and the propecia/dutasteride had extended...

Re: dutasteride + finasteride 2 month results (after 7 years finasteride and 2 years I'm in a similar boat...took finasteride for 8-9 years and the male pattern baldness just took over so the finasteride seemed to not work anymore. Then this past October, dropped finasteride and started dutasteride at twice per week through December. By January, the hair really...

That's the same one I take too.
