    Just quit Topical spironolactone 2 weeks ago

    After being on minoxidil and finasteride for 3 years, my hair had already thickened up dramatically, but I continued to recede ever so slowly (I am still a Norwood 1.5, but inching towards an eventual Norwood 2). I was hoping that I could add something else that would slow down or even give the hairline/temples...

    Just quit Topical spironolactone 2 weeks ago

    Was on it for about 3-4 months. Honestly, it may have helped a little (lots of vellus hairs), but I just got sick of applying the sh*t to my hairline every night. minoxidil I can handle, but there is just no way I can see myself applying the spironolactone every night for the rest of my life. The faint smell...

    spironolactone Cream good results

    After using Dr. Lee's spironolactone for several weeks, I can already see a forest of vellus hairs sprouting below my current hairline and on the temples. Before adding spironolactone, I was just on propecia and minoxidil, which has given me good results for 3 years and counting, but now I am slowly losing in the...

    Rogaine Foam: Greatest thing since sliced bread

    I am not sure how long to let it dry before taking a shower, but probably do not need to wait longer than a couple hours as this stuff dries quick (minoxidil is all absorbed really quick I think). My hair is fairly short (a bit more than 1 inch), but I use rogaine only at the hairline, so the...

    Rogaine Foam: Greatest thing since sliced bread

    Simply Amazing. It dries in seconds and smells just like shaving cream. I recommend this to all minoxidil users, even people who use Dr. Lee's. If you use minoxidil, use the foam.

    Add spironolactone then drop minoxidil

    what difference does it make which is applied first?

    Add spironolactone then drop minoxidil

    What do you guys think of dropping minoxidil after adding spironolactone as topical? Using them together is a pain, and I am not sure if they are totally synergistic. Should I keep to one topical at a time or use both since I've already been on rogaine two years+. Plus let me add that applying both together...

    minoxidil/spironolactone order of application

    For people who use both minoxidil and spironolactone solution (not the cream): Which order do you apply these in? And how many minutes in between? minoxidil first, then spironolactone solution? spironolactone first, then minoxidil solution? Couple minutes in between?

    BEEN ON PROSCAR 1.25 mg FOR 2 MONTHS SO FAR (MY STORY)

    actually minoxidil works. Maybe it does not work for some people, but it worked for me.

    spironolactone Scent

    I have been using spironolactone for a couple weeks in conjunction with minoxidil (I have been using minoxidil for a couple years already) on the hairline, and I see many vellus hairs sprouting on the temples (I am around Norwood 1.5). However, the 5% spironolactone solution I am using does not smell good at all. And due to...

    Just started spironolactone

    I use the 5% spironolactone solution from CEM, putting that one on first, followed by minoxidil. Does it really matter which order you put them on?

    Just started spironolactone

    Hey guys, I have been on the big 3 for almost 3 years now (I am 22 yrs old), and still holding strong Norwood 1.5, however my hairline is ever so slowly receding back, so I've added 5% spironolactone from CEM starting today. The smell is like a skunk, so I think its only going to be nightly apps for now...

    Should I upgrade from finasteride to dutasteride?

    Hi Guys, You might remember my posts from way back where after diffuse thinning, I took propecia and after about 8-9 months, my hair came back super thick. I also took minoxidil for my hairline. However, after more than 2 years sinced I popped my first propecia, I am starting to diffuse...

    Xandrox much better than plain minoxidil

    On Dr. Lee's website, it seems that Xandrox is the answer to everyone's hairloss problems because the azelaic acid inhibits virtually all of the DHT in the scalp, while the minoxidil does it's regrowth trick. Is Xandrox as good as the site says it is, and how much better is it than regular...

    Receding Temples

    Man I still have this receding temple problem, even though I am on propecia and minoxidil 1x/day. I also use folligen sometimes. What is up with this slow continuous recession? I am still a Norwood 1.5, but heading to a Norwood 2 in the next 1-2 years maybe at this pace. Wondering if I should bump the...
