Can you give us a timeline as to how long you've been on each treatment?

Some things to consider: Add ONE capsule of 0.5 mg dutasteride a WEEK to your daily finasteride (dutasteride is very strong, and many, including myself, do better on lower doses), and give this at least one YEAR to assess. I would also consider adding 2% Nizoral a few times a week along with topical...

It might help at first, but without fighting DHT somehow it will ultimately be a losing battle.

Worm, where are you getting your zinc sulfate these days?

Nicely done! Are you still using Fincar brand finasteride?

Question is, where do you get a 0.6mm roller?

Over the years, I have read zinc sulphate was most effective. Best to just stick with that.

I'd like to know as well.

I would stay on finasteride and introduce the dutasteride slowly. One capsule a day (in addition to daily finasteride) for the first 6 months (preferably 12 months), and then assess. If you see progress then you can keep the dose as is. If not, add two capsules a week to your daily finasteride...

Inhouse pharmacy is also good.

Have you recently switched brands of Finasteride or minoxidil?

Agreed. I'm already on BP drugs for my hypertension, so I would never touch oral minoxidil.

I guess my question should then be for people who have noticed minoxidil working BETTER after dermarolling.

Anyone still dermarolling? I see so many conflicting reports/studies these days about the best needle length and frequency etc. If you are, what's your protocol?

If Finasteride hasn't worked, I am almost certain Viviscal will not. Have you tried Dutasteride or minoxidil?
