+1000 when the hell is sh*t officially coming out?!

GOAT = Greatest of All Time Asmed has turned his clinic into a mass production plant, he no longer takes his time and/or dedicates himself to each individual patient -- from what I've read his techs are now doing most of the work with Asmed only showing up for the final part (sticking the...

I see... I also have slight dark circles underneath my eyes and I feel like topical minoxidil exacerbated them

what about dark circles underneath your eyes? did you ever experience that?

I'd try topical finasteride without minoxidil first (for 6 months or so) if you are comfortable with the sides then make the switch to the oral version

4 months on Duta and I have yet to experience any sort of brain fog. I did experience moderate-ish brain fog back when I started finasteride ~6 months ago (the very first month or so) and that side effect did subside after awhile. Truth be told I regret not starting Duta right away. The only side effect...

Understood. How did Accutane improve your hair? micro dosing on Accutane (say 10mg every other day) seems to be the latest fad on a handful of skin care forums. It's tempting but I'm certain it would wreck my already fragile balding head :(

you sure it wasn't the Duta protecting you from any hair loss (due to you being on Accutane)? had you not been on Duta you probably would have balded at a extremely rapid pace.

well.. Accutane does exacerbates baldness -- way too risky IMO. To put things in perspective, a handful of women (over at the Women's Hair Loss subsection) went bald because of it.

I understand.. it's probably the alcohol burning your head/scalp (aka chemical burn). You could probably get it compounded with a different vehicle (say Trichosol) but it's going to cost a lot more than your standard Kirkland minoxidil

why not make the switch to a low dosage of oral minoxidil? I mean... you obviously can tolerate whatever minoxidil has to offer (pros and cons) -- I see no need to smear that greasy junk all over your head (everyday to boot) when you can easily just pop a pill and go on about your day.

What is a good vehicle for topical finasteride? alcohol 70%?

weird... I'm suicidal because I didn't start sooner.. like 5 YEARS AGO. If it wasn't for Merck and GSK I would be in a casket right now -- both finasteride and Duta are live saving drugs
