With that attitude I would have been bald at 30.
I mean hair loss comes in waves of 16 years just after lowering the finasteride dose?
I started worrying about going bald when I was 18! I saw that I had developed some minor widows peaks.
At 22 my girlfriend said to me: "He, you have a little baldspot in the back of you head".
It wasn't really a bald spot, but it got me worried.
At 23 I saw that my hair has thinned all over. It wasn't really noticeable to anyone, but I saw it. And it got worse, not rapidly, but ever so slightly.
I started finasteride at 25 and was fine until this year. And now I should just let myself go bald? f*** no!
The only thing that really gets me is the doubt of what is the right thing to do. That it takes so long until you can assess the success.
I mean I re-upped the dose, but should I wait a half year now to assess it? Or should I up the finasteride dose to 2,5mg? Or should I throw in everything, minoxidil, dutasteride?
I'm glad that I started out with just finasteride, because it was enough. Now I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or waisting precious time.
