I was using nizoral for years both on and off finasteride. Whatever help it provided was barely noticeable. I can only say my personal experience was different. My 1 year mark was weaker compared to my 2 year mark. I've seen other long term improvement too like this study...

As a diffuse thinner my first year starting finasteride was rough, a lot of shedding, seemed like things were getting worse before they could get better. Year 2 was when things seemed to get better for me and my dentist told me how my hair looks thicker recently. The question is how long is the maximum...

Looks fine to me. Have you thought about combing it a bit more in one direction like a parted haircut?

If you've been on it a while I doubt a few days will be enough for DHT levels to rise in a significant way, especially the amount present in your skin tissue.

Maybe the FDA is willing to let anything go out of incompetence or corruption but the recent news of vaping related illnesses seems to dispute that. As soon as a handful of abnormal cases sprung up it turned into a national emergency. I doubt millions of guys waking up with ED and other sides...

I first heard about it from forums for women with long hair. I've used it with and without biotin a couple of times now over the years and for some reason the two together noticeably make my hair and nails grow faster.

Would be pretty crazy if a hair loss forum didn't talk about one of the few available options for hair treatment. dutasteride is an off-label option that some people use but no one should be listening to recommendations from internet strangers.

I'd bet if more people that make threads at 6 months about not responding or getting worse came back years later we would hear more like this. You gotta be in it for the long term when you start this stuff but too many quit early.

No average person would ever look at that and think thinning. My crown is worse than that and no one has ever mentioned it or noticed.

Been using the stuff since 2013 and had a year or two where I was using it every single day. I like how it makes my scalp feel but it just destroys the look of my hair for 24 hours after using it and you can tell it's harsh stuff. I really don't think it does much for hair loss or regrowth...

Put away the discussion about sides, which we know exist in a meaningful capacity for some people who take these meds. It is a nearly statistical guarantee that obsessive hypochondriacs are taking this drug. Look at some of the people on this very forum that think they're losing their hair no...

Any supplement you take that blocks DHT systemically would just be getting from point A to point B but in a different car. People report sides taking saw palmetto for instance. nizoral alone may help a tiny bit. Biotin and MSM make hair grow faster in my experience but no real change in density or...

Who knows, it's probably close enough to the real figure considering how many people take the stuff and don't have any major issues. It's also about how long the sides last and how severe they are. I had one side effect the first week too but nothing since then so should I be included in the...

Could say the same about 1mg vs 5mg. I think it's just what the manufacturers offer.

I don't think it has a great safety record. It's just acceptable enough to be allowed as a prescription drug. No one should be encouraged to take it or be told it's without risk. After that, it's a personal decision. We got people here that take spironolactone and estradiol. I don't question their...
