I have been on Finasteride (1mg) and Rogaine twice a day for a year and a half, probably a little longer and I have lost more hair and am thinning. I originally was so pleasantly gifted a receding hairline to start my hairloss journey and for 4 years didn't use anything and nothing happened to my hair (i.e it didn't get wore). I went on Finasteride and after about 5 month's I started getting what looked like minor hair parting or cornrow looking thinning all around my hair. No one believes it was Finasteride but I find it hard to believe for 4 years nothing more happened (hair loss/thinning) to what I already had and then 5 month's after taking the pill I started thinning everywhere. I kept thinning more and more but thought hey It will get better everyone say's you can't lose more hair on finasteride and combined with rogaine it will get better! Well it's gotten much worse and I highly doubt it's just because time has gone by. I attribute it to the drug, but since there is nothing else to do what am I going to do? I am going to start dutasteride but I doubt that will do anything. This is pathetic as is my whole life at age 28. This is completely unnecessary, futile and my next sentence means nothing because I'm some dude on the internet but I haven't talked to anyone on the internet or in person in years so this is relieving somewhat. I have Major depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, Bipolar, OCD , and recently I somehow have been given a beautiful utopia of psychosis! A mental Illness(sort of) I never had in the past. My teeth are also decaying , which means more money to spend that I don't have ( I make a whopping $800 on disability) on that and hair. I really can not function as is and this extra weight of materialistic care that is hair is already making being awake and aware more annoying then it has been since I have been sentient the day I exited the womb.

Well, my question is, after that nonsense. Is dutasteride that much better for someone in my predicament? Why am I not responding to finasteride after being on it the amount of time I have been, and why am I losing more hair instead of halting it. I would really appreciate them even if my post is extremely pessimistic and flippant. Even if I could afford a hair transplant they said it would be silly because I'm just losing more hair and it would be pointless. This is like trying every SSRI, TCA, and MAOI as I have done. Nothing works for anything (subjectively) which I am used to with the mind, but I was hoping physically on my dome something wold be effective. I already regret writing this. Haven't sent/wrote anything on the internet in about 5 years. Thank you any help is greatly appreciated. This will be another 1 post account as I recollect my mental state and realize I actually wrote this during natural,sober, insanity but will read and appreciate any responses as the self-deprecation is complete. Thank you..much love and compassion.

I were You I would just accept the condition and wait for future when there would be solution for hairloss. I request you to start new medication with experts advice and do not stress to much, hairs are for us not we are for hairs. Best luck man.

I am sorry to hear all this man. I know this might be a very tough pill to swallow but at the moment I would just shave it and focus on the other aspects of your life. Try to focus on the things that are within your own control and improve yourself in those areas. This will give you some extra strength and motivation to go through to the next round of self-improvement. I know this is not the advice you were hoping for but it might be the only advice that you need right now.

Are you getting professional help for your mental health issues?
