Like many of you, I have long been critical of RU. I never was really sure if I was benefiting from it and the results never seemed like they were worth the added brain fog and decreased libido.
I have been on RU for maybe 3 years now and at 80mg twice a day for about a year. No regrowth but I have been maintaining, especially in the last few months. Well, after being incredibly good at maintaining my protocol for months, I screwed up managing my stock of RU and ran out. I then had issues with the new shipment and didn't use RU for about 3 weeks.
Let me tell you....I am paying for my mistake heavily. Maybe it is because the RU was working. Maybe it's just because it increased receptor sensitivity. I have always been one of those forum members that told people it was uncommon to shed quickly. Hair that falls out has generally been dead for a month right? However, I am now a believer.
I lost a ton of density in 3 weeks and had such terrible scalp itch that I sometimes couldn't stand to be at work. This is all while still taking finasteride, OC, Keto, Stem, minoxidil, Tempol, others. Only Keto would temporarily relieve the itch. I have been back on RU for 3 days and already the itch is non existent. Density is still crap but hopefully it improves. I don't want to be a slave to RU but I am going to be too afraid to drop it for a while now.
