Im wondering about what the consensus is with doing this?
To be completely honest i think it doesnt make a lot of sense. There's the usual argument - that beginning multiple treatments makes it very difficult to see what is working, but what im especially worried about is what happens if i get results, but also sides from finasteride. Then i don't know what will happen if i drop the finasteride or not.
However I've realised that i really want to thicken my hair - it's thinned s quickly and to such a level that i'll do anything to stop it, and i've gone from "ill begin slowly, with topicals, and assess my results later on"
to -
"dear god, i've lost a lot of hair so quickly, I'll do everything i can to get it back!"
So here I am - at the crossroads. I've read the studies and know the deal with minoxidil - not too many men respond to it, and on average they have lost everything they've gained (around back to baseline) by five years. Im also ready for the shed, since its winter here and i can beanie it up for another two months or so.
I know lot's of people here have begun both simultaneously, and was wondering how they viewed their decision now, in retrospect. Chime in my fellows and give me some advice!
