I have been using Finasteride 1mg since about 20 years old. It maintained quite well, although I got off it at around age 27 for several years (big mistake). At first there was no problem, but then after 3-4 years, one day suddenly it was like a nuke went off... itching... shedding... recession... minitiaruzation. It was incredibly sudden.
I got back on finasteride ASAP and recovered somewhat (never quite back to as it was before). However about 7 months ago I decided to try adding Duta to see if I could stop further recession or regain something at the hairline.
My hairline has quickly gotten very thin, quite a bit of shedding, very wispy and lacking colour. Oddly enough it doesn't itch though.
Should I continue riding this out and hope it stabilizes or best to cut my losses and go back to finasteride only? Or maybe 1x week / dutasteride?
I don't use minoxidil, use Nizoral 2% 3-4 times a week.
I'll try to upload some pics shortly.
