I have religiously been taking 1 mg generic finasteride from my pharmacy since mid May 2014. I thought, let me give it some time after the 12 month mark, but alas no change. My front lock not only has decreased in density significatnly, my hairline has receeded to the point where i can feel my scalp with my figers on the middle of head near the temple regions. I had no success with minoxidil earlier but am starting now. Have been using the 2% ketoconazole shampoo consistently as well.
Is this time to call it quits with Finasteride and start dutasteride? And if so where is a reliable place to start dutasteride?
