Has Anybody 'went Nuclear' And Not Seen Results?

[AnxiousAndy]

What I mean by that is has anybody went on heavier treatments like cyproterone acetate, bicalutamide, high dose estrogen, oral minoxidil, enzalutamide, dutasteride, etc or even all of the above at the same time and not seen results?
I'm currently on oral minoxidil, finasteride and topical estrogen. With only a promising few months of no shed and growth its all went down hill and I'm considerably below baseline when I started treating my baldness a year and a half ago. Shedding is probably the worst its ever been. Next step is current regimen with added cyproterone which I should have in a few days.

So, has anyone been that unlucky? Or will I be the first?

You're skipping over dutasteride and going right to cypro?

At least try dutasteride first

I don't trust dutasteride. The hairline horror stories are just too common.. Plus I don't want that massive boost of testosterone poisoning my follicles. I won't deny though if dutasteride works it works great, I'm simply not a good responder to finasteride so I can't see dutasteride being any different. How's your regimen?

Mine is working fine. Maintaining NW2 with painfully slow reversal of a decade of loss at temple angles

But did finasteride work for you? My loss is still progressing despite my treatments. A little past NW2

Yes it's working well. Next month will mark 2 years on finasteride for me

Glad to hear, if only it were that simple for me! I got my Cyproterone and have took my first pill so only time will tell how this pans out. I'm hoping for regrowth but I'm doubting it will even stop my loss... *sigh*
