All- Just wanted to mention that I tried dutasteride (Avodart) for about 2.5 months - while I did not notice a significant difference or improvement in hair stabilization or regrowth, I did have fairly moderate side effects. I had reviewed the entire safety profile of dutasteride vesus finasteride before starting it...

Thanks man, your feedback on dutasteride .5mg is encouraging. I think I am going to give it a shot. With regard to RU: I have heard of it but have not tried it. I used to visit this board all the time back around '04 - '05 and at the time, if I remember correctly, I believe alot of folks on this...

Thanks Mr_Reeses - helpful info. So you have been on dutasteride for 1 month or so and are starting to grow back the shedded hairs? If I started dutasteride I would honestly be happy if I could just maintain better than finasteride - hairline continues to slowly recede in front. I think I am willing to give dutasteride a...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've seen some post good results with dutasteride, may just be a case by case scenario where it works for some but not others. The finasteride has definitely slowed things down, just wondering if I am losing some efficacy now that it's been 10-11 yrs.

So I have been on Propecia for 10 years and while it has slowed down my hairloss, I have not had regrowth and I am still losing hair, slowly but surely. I am currently on the Big 3 and have previously tried Revivogen, spironolactone and a few other topicals (no results w/Revivogen or spironolactone). I am...

So I have been using Propecia/finasteride since the fall of '00 - I am maintaining but still losing slowly in the front (also using minoxidil 1X day and nizoral 3X wk). Most of the posts I have read on avodart/dutasteride have not been so great, sounds like alot of people were worse off when they...

"So are you saying your hair was worse than what it was 2 years after using Revivogen? What do you use now"? Yeah, I would say so, and I used it very diligently, applying it consistently (turned plenty of pillow cases red). I traveled quite a bit and took it with me on all road trips. I...

I used it for 2 years: 1 year with spironolactone (plus finasteride and nizoral) and then 1 year without spironolactone (plus finasteride and nizoral). I did not see any noticeable results so I stopped using it - at the time, my goal was simply to maintain but I felt I continued to lose at the same rate as before. spironolactone seemed to...

I saw a commercial for this on TV - results looked good. I went to the website and they had pics of good results as well. I was wondering if anyone knows someone that is taking scalp med and what results they had? I'm on the Big 3 - but could always use a supplement to my regimen, I am...

Has anyone found non-scented Rogaine foam? The scented Rogaine foam gives me a bad headache...

Can someone tell me a good / reliable website to buy Kirklands 5% minoxidil? Thanks - I haven't tried minoxidil before but figure it's time to give it a wing...

Hey Guys - I have been using finasteride and nizoral for about 5 years or so and they have slowed down the hairloss. However, I have not been able to find a topical that works well for me thus far (have tried Revivogen and spironolactone both for a year) to help stop the frontal thinning. So I am thinking of...

HairLossTalk.com I used (separately) the elements of your regimen and variated occasionally to see if I could get favorable results, etc. I can say that I have not had alot of success with Revivogen (at bedtime) in conjunction with finasteride (daily) and Nizoral (2-3 times weekly). Employed this regimen for...

Hey guys--muchos gracias for all of your responses! :) Kalika: You have had success with spironolactone, huh--have you maintained your hairline and temples? I was only applying once a day but it really seemed like I lost hair FASTER with that stuff! That stuff makes my hair so greasy that it...

SO I have tried a variety of combinations to supplement my daily finasteride and Nizoral (twice weekly). I have tried spironolactone 5% once a day for about a year (no results) and so then I tried Revivogen once a day for about a year (no results). My goal is simply to maintain the frontal area but I...
