You might be sensitive to scalp testosterone which gets jacked up with dutasteride. I had to go on finasteride and
RU to stop the recession I was getting on dutasteride
I just squeeze a bit of tretinoin cream into my minoxidil bottle along with a few drops of emu oil. Can’t say it’s working any better than the standard liquid though
I started out 8 years ago using 75 mgs 1 x day. When I re-introduced finasteride, I backed it down to 50 mgs per day. Over the last 8 years I've gradually
upped it to 50 mgs 2 x day
I’m not an expert in the AR up- regulation discussion, but I have had to gradually increase the dosage over the years. That could have been d/t up regulation or just the progression of male pattern baldness
For me finasteride was fading after 8 years. So I added it 8 years ago Im still hanging on to a
Norwood 2
It can lengthen and thicken existing hair for some people, but won’t grow new hair in bald areas
RU still works great for me, 10 years later. I never have the itch and the minute I miss a dose my scalp is itches like crazy.
It may “dead” to some people but the stuff still works for me w/o sides
