Thanks for the supportive ideas from HairLossTalk.com Respondents! Truly appreciate your taking the time to offer ideas. That is SO helpful that after many YEARS on my current regimen, I have added dermarolling for the first time in my life. Began yesterday afternoon as my roller arrived. I will begin with...

Thanks, GP86 and pegasus2 for the helpful info :)!!

I've read about this, too. Thanks for the suggestion. Love that it doesn't cost an arm and leg!

Thanks, I've read about this a little bit. Is it a particular kit you can purchase?

No input? No share? Fair enough. Just surprised that there is no dialogue on anyone with anything working that sparked growth. Maybe it just shows how dire the regrowth is these days...

It has been a very long time since I posted on HairLossTalk.com. Or any hairloss forum. My current regimen is: Dutasteride Generic from Costco 0.5/Once Daily Minoxidil 5% 1oz/Twice Daily Nizoral Shampoo OTC 1% 3-5X/Weekly CoQ10 - 1 Tablet Daily Magnesium - 1 Tablet Daily Tumeric 500mg/Once Daily...

Sorry to hear, itsjustsimon! It is a bear having this happen. I feel your pain!

I do. But I was hoping to show the gains I had made on dutasteride as a comparison. Now those gains are gone, and I look similar to what I did prior to dutasteride. I had gained what I would say was a fair amount of cosmetic difference in the frontal. That is now gone. So a "before" and "after" would look...

Update [February 13, 2018] I am sad to report that I am going through the worst shed of my life. I hope this is a good thing! I've read multiple "takes" on this. The majority seem to think it IS a good thing. Some just report ongoing loss. My hopes to post a good pic of progress is delayed. I've...

Thanks, Jesse!

Hi Michel, With finasteride, I would say that it definitely SLOWED the loss down. Mostly maintained. But still a very slow increase of an ever-rising forehead. Fortunately, I've had no sides with dutasteride OR finasteride. Nothing :)! (Fingers crossed!)

Hi Jesse, My initial "add" of dutasteride 3X/week to my existing regimen of finasteride 7X/week, 5% min/2X daily, and nizoral 1%/3-5X per week was simply to stabilize things. I noticed within a couple of months that it seemed like my protocol was at least halting further loss. But honestly after a year or two of...

Hi John, Update is continued small hairs in front of my existing hairline. No shed. No sides. Hair I have is feeling thicker. Nothing dramatic like some people's stories. Yet ongoing slow motion steady progress. Will post pics when I can!

Hi John! Your dutasteride 3X/week is exactly what I did for the first go. I kept the finasteride going for about 6 months. When I ran out of finasteride, I just thought I'd see what happens with dutasteride only. So currently my regimen (for the past month plus, and before that without finasteride for about 6 months): Minoxidil 5%...

Thanks for being happy for me, 1knox1! Sometimes we don't REALLY want to hear other's success stories, or I should say "hopeful" stories if we ourselves are yet struggling. I know from reading many other's stories, sometimes I've felt, "Darn, why not me?!" I truly hope you have success with...
