Kirby, as you know my situation is similar to yours, and my main goal as of now is to try to keep as much hair as I can until new treatments come along. I figure the better your hair is, the better the results will be in the future, so even if a treatment isn't giving us the reuslts we were hoping for, the chance that it is helping us to not become much worse is a risk I'm willing to take. Like you, my hair started looking worse when I started finasteride, but the odds of the drug causing me to lose hair is far fetched, so I'll continue to use it in hopes of maintaining, or who knows maybe I'll get an unexpected surprise down the line and just find out that I was a late responder.
From what I remember you still have a good amount of hair, so maybe you should try some concealers or something else, to help you to get by until something better comes out. Histogen will hopefully be released in Asia in 2015, and I'm pretty sure that there are a few other treatments that will be on the market within that time-frame. Taking finasteride is easy, not like some of the others crazy hair loss routines I have read about, so for me it's a no brianer. As long as I'm doing something, what else is there that I can do?
All that we can do is wait, and since there are some promising looking treatments coming soon it will likely stir up some competition from others, because as we know, hair loss is a billion dollar industry.
