Hello everyone.
I've only posted once before, but I've looked through threads on this forum for over a year. It's been a lot of help.
I'm 25 now. I've been losing my hair since about 22, 23. I'm diffuse thinning all over.
I've been using kirkland 5% twice a day for 14 months. I've been using finesteride (splitting proscar from inhouse pharmacy) for nine months. In the last few weeks, I've started washing my hair with Nizoral.
From what I can tell, I haven't responded to any of these medications (except for a sore breast which subsided after a week or so of finasteride). I've gone through sheds, but haven't experienced regrowth. I'm certainly below baseline.
So here's my question: How long should I continue these treatments before trying something new?
I've thought about trying inhouse pharmacy's generic avodart, the Dr Reddy's version. Is it too soon to make a switch? Also, if finasteride isn't working for me, is it likely dutasteride won't respond either? And finally, is inhouse pharmacy legit? I'm pretty sure it is, and most of what I've read on this site seems to support that, but it can't hurt to have other opinions.
Also (and maybe more importantly), has anyone seen improvement in their hair after the first year of finesteride? After all this time, is there still a chance the finasteride will kick in and do good things for me?
Thanks,
Jimmy
