Advice for hairline

I've used Propecia for 2 years and continued to lose hair. Last year I added 2% minoxidil and I regrew some hair at the hair line. Then I made a fatal mistake of starting Accutane and in 2 weeks I lost all gains and more in the hairline so I stoped immediately. Droped Propecia and started using regimen:

minoxidil 5% without PPG
spironolactone Cream
Tricomin
Revivogen
MSM

My hairline is looking worse and worse. So I need some advice what should I add next.

I definetly wouldn't add anything hormonal like Avodart because my skin now looks perfect after being off Propecia for 5 months and I'm finished with the hormonal crap after the whole Propecia disaster that costed me a lot of money but didn't give me any positive effects only horrible skin. I would also never get a transplant because my grandfather is NW9 and I'd be screwed in the long run. I'm already buzzed down to 1/4. The only thing I can think of right now is that cortisone (or what is it's name) cream that has a lot of sideeffects.

So what are my options?

Apoc: Did you complete your Accutane meds? and how many mgs were you on? I don't think its the propecia not working that made your hairline worse, Accutane kills hair, especially frontal hairlines.

No I stoped immediately after 2 weeks because I was watching in horror as I was shedding like crazy the hair I just regrew. Shedding stoped immediately 1 week after stoping the meds. I was taking 40mg/day. But I was taking Propecia for 2 years before that and it was this sh*t that made me break out in the first place.

Your regimen looks very similar to my son's although we just started with treatment. Dr. Lee suggested the Xandrox with azeliac acid for Tyler, twice a day, 5%spironolactone once a day, and later to add xandrox15% to the mix. Right now we are going to use the xandrox 5% and spironolactone at night time during the week because of time issues in the mornings and on the weekend we'll do the suggested twice dailly, and then add from there. I think you should talk to college chemisty student, or old baldy, they are very helpful and maybe able to add something to help you.

Angie,

Dr Lee suggests that for everyone. He suggested it for me and a few friends. Xandrox may very well be a waste of money and the money that you don't spend on that and spend on plain old generic 5% minoxidil insted may save you a lot of money.

Jayman: I am trying an experiment with my son, my husband, and a customers husband. This is so my son Tyler can see what works, since he is still too scared to try propecia and I want to try and hold onto the hair he has until he is closer to 18 just to make sure I don't mess with the puberty action. Tyler is doing xandrox 5%, spiro5%, nizoral every 3rd shampoo and AC Revitalize spray (I might throw in tricomin, or revivogen, haven't had much positive feedback about folligen). My husband is trying a 6%minoxidil with essential fatty acids, I got from Dr.Jones here in Canada(very expensive!!) and spironolactone plus AC and nizoral. My customers husband ordered finapecia, generic 5% minoxidil, and nizoral. We just started this week and I'm taking pics of all there heads and hopefully will figure out how to post pics as the experiment continues. There calling me their hairy godmother!!! what do you think?

i think they should all improve, but you won't be attribute success to any specific product because each of them are starting all of that stuff at once.
