It may all be in your head, you never know.

If you want noticeable regrowth add in minoxidil and microneedling.

Finasteride tends to just maintain the hair at the level it was when you started.

Doesnt dutasteride produce more regrowth?

I'm just hoping that the hairs i have get bigger which they have not. I know it's unrealistic to wish for a NW2 hairline

Dutasteride is just a more potent anti androgen, if your not seeing regrowth results on finasteride i doubt dutasteride is going to make a whole lot of difference.

On the other hand minoxidil and mincroneedling has the potential to bring you back to a NW2 if you're a hyper responder.

I would try that first before committing to dutasteride but the choice is yours.

Well I still have 3.5 months before the year mark. I still feel like I could see something since I'm shedding the thin weak hairs not the good ones.

I agree with what @centurie said. Give finasteride more time and in the meantime try microneedling since you're already using minoxidil. If your not satisfied with your results after giving it more time, consider switching to duta or look into getting a hair transplant.

I'm not using minoxidil.. tried it a long time ago

It all comes down to what your expectations are. If you're looking to get a little regrowth then just stick to finasteride for now. I've been on finasteride for a long time and I know a lot of people that have taken it or on it now and huge amounts of regrowth is not the norm. Using minoxidil while taking finasteride changes things even if you were a non-responder to minoxidil alone before. If you want more growth you really should consider trying it again while on finasteride.

You really think this sh*t will improve in 4 months?

Also i use keto shampoo 2x a week. Have been the whole time

I was worried that I was a non-responder after being on finasteride the first year. It wasn't until 1.5-2 years that my hair was noticeably better. There is no way to say what will happen with you. Only time will tell. I can just say from experience that getting a huge amount of regrowth from finasteride only is not the norm.

Why is everyone against dutasteride?

Many people who get really worse on finasteride, get even worse on duta. Many, but not all. Its a gamble. But you arent way worse according to the pics, unless they dont show the real situation.
Its your call. If you want a better drug duta is the next logical step.

throw in ru and your hairloss will most likely stop. You need something blocking the androgens from attacking the hair follicles

What is an RU?

 

[Yar]

all lies about finasteride, one hope for everyone! Take drugs that help and not where you will hope! cyproterone or spironolactone + estradiol is your choice! And throw finasteride and dutasteride into sh*t! They inhibit 5a which controls not only androgens but also progestogens ! Spironolactone is a dihydrotestosterone antagonist, cyproterone is a testosterone antagonist! And let the losers go bald on finasteride and dutasteride!

I think sticking to your current regimen will stop your hair loss.

I have the shedded hair tapering towards the root, and yes, it is a very bad sign

What does this mean hair tapering?

 

[Jpon541]

What does this mean hair tapering?

The hair is dark on the ends and gets lighter towards the root.

Just hit 8.5 months into treatment. Still shedding every shower. Temples look bigger and more receded.

Hoping it gets worse before getting better. Ive heard months 6-9 are the worst

yea you are pretty bad, save for a transplant

SEE!!! SOMEONE FINALLY AGREES WITH ME!!!

Yeah 9 months into finasteride and I'm approaching a NW4. Was barely a Norwood 2.75 when I started. This is absolute bullshit. Instead of slowing down my hair loss it has sped it up..

First of all, shave your f*****g head.
Get a blood test and tell us what your testosterone/estrogen levels are while on finasteride
Get on Dutasteride.
