Do you think there's any benefit to be gained from increasing finasteride dosage from 1mg to 2mg?

I started finasteride 1mg and minoxidil 5 when I was 27. I had pretty decent thinning, but not terribly noticeable. I'm now 43 and I feel like the finasteride is starting to not work as well.

New update!

I am also at about 10 months and having a shed. It's not ridiculously bad, but it's definitely noticeble. Most of the hairs seem to be thin, so that's good. I get a few thick hairs, but those could just be normal loss. Been shedding for probably 3 weeks now. I hope it'll stop soon, but I...

10 month update posted! first page. Sorry I need to take pictures soon.

Month 6 updates on the first post!

I think it's both actually. minoxidil alone didn't do this, and propecia alone didn't start doing it until 5 months in. Although that's about the time propecia should start working, but I don't think it is supposed to regrow hair.

Thanks for the comments guys! dirtrider: Here's how I do the minoxidil. Morning. I squeeze the dropper once and fill it up. Usually only about .75mL gets in the dropper. I dry the outside of the dropper off with a tissue. Then I start at the crown push the dropper to my scalp and kind of...

5 month update up 5 month update is up on the first post in the thread!

I use both and am starting to see regrowth. Not that it has anything to do with SP
