Okay thanks for your input. Guess I'll just stick with the 2mg finasteride daily then cuz that seems to be when my hair loss was at its slowest. I suppose it isn't insane, I just wasn't expecting it at all on finasteride. Also have definitely diffused everywhere a decent amount, but I honestly think a large majority of my hair loss occurred within that 8-12 month period, around 4 months after starting finasteride. Since then things have slowed down dramatically, but still very disappointed with the results, especially saying how everyone was saying I should expect at the minimum maintenance and possible regrowth.
Not everyone is an exceptional responder to finasteride. I was not myself and I took the HairDx test and it confirmed that too. The HairDx test is no longer available. I honestly think 1mg of finasteride is all you need. But if you feel twice the dosage will help then go for it. According to the studies, the maximum effectiveness of finasteride flattened out at around 1mg. I would look into PRP. It might help thicken up your density and slow things down too. It works better with hair like yours.
I've only heard bad things about PRP. Why would it work better with hair like mine? Curious, whats your regimen btw? Are you using finasteride?
PRP works better on low Norwoods and recent loss. Using oral finasteride and Proxiphen(my topical). Use Revita shampoo alternated with Nano Shampoo. Laser Cap 3 times per week.
LOL, he is legitimate. Been dealing with Dr Proctor for years. Yes, Proxiphen has about 2 percent minoxidil unless he changed that again.
Yeah will see how things go over this next year. Not very hopeful. Started using minoxidil again on hairline. Might go for 10 or 15% cuz 5% has done nothing. Not happy with how hair is there now so trying anything to get regrowth. Trying dermarolling, prescription retinal, and topical castor oil on hairline. Nothing really working. Also don't know why I used minoxidil on crown to begin with. Didn't have hair loss there to start. And I have no idea if I got results on duta. Definitely no regrowth from what I could see. Didn't really give it enough time tho. Not worth it if it's gonna give me ED. Wanna use my dick the most I can before my hair all falls out and its just something there to fill the gap between my legs. There hasn't been a big change in my hair over this past year tho. I've added a lot of supplements tho like zinc, vitamin D, castor oil, biotin n some other sh*t.
O really? Seems a little nerve racking...I still had morning wood on dutasteride until those last couple weeks. I occasionally had morning wood on finasteride, but not very often.
Not necessarily true. Reduction in serum DHT between 1mg and 5mg is very similar, but not necessarily for scalp DHT. My derm said that every person can react differently and some people actually have a better reaction on higher dosage finasteride.
I may have originally, but the hair never grew back. Definitely have male pattern baldness as well.
