Feeling Desperate And Depressed, Please Help

[bridgeburn]

What is estradiol? The cyproterone? What norwood are you now, and what norwood were you before treatments? Did you get a shed from the dutasteride? I mean, it's only been 4-5 months for you, yes? Were you on finasteride prior to that?

estradiol is a type of estrogen, cyproterone is an androgen receptor blocker. basically I traded my masculinity for my hair, so those are things which you probably should not consider taking!
I've never taken finasteride, I went straight to dutasteride.
you can see my previous norwood and my results so far in my thread if you wish..

Cool. Does it have other additives? Does the derm have proof that higher strength minoxidil works better?

It depends on your levels of sulfotransferase which is different for individuals

How do you go about checking your levels of sulfotransferase?

maybe ask a doctor if there is a test for it.

I think I saw on another thread, someone posted their results from 23andme which shows if they had the gene, SULTA1 which is associated with Sulfotransferase production.
