Basically what I want to know is that if anyone has been on spironolactone and/or duta for awhile with no major sides? Would also like to know if it sopped your hairloss and if anyone had regrowth!!
I was 10 months on finasteride + minoxidil with horrible results.. Started to shed in the end of the first month and after that it was a nightmare.. Non stop shed! I never knew it was possible to lose so much density in such short time, it was like the hair fell and never grew back.. Also developed an awful dermatitis on the third month!
Last month I replaced Fina with Duta and the shedding slowed down a lot! Some days are better than others but even the itch is undoubtedly better.. But in those 10 months my hair took a huge hit (my frontal and crown areas were affected the most), the right side of my hairline is getting visible under my mirror light.. it sucks.
The thing is I doubt duta will regrow anything on my frontal region so I'm thinking of adding spironolactone since I've heard people talking about it. I won't go the RU route because I tried importing spironolactone and it got stuck in customs so I don't think I can get my hands on RU... But I went to my derm and she's willing to give me a prescription for spironolactone..
I just want to know if anyone is taking both (6 months or more) with success and without major sides like total ED, face feminizing, potassium related health issues... I know I have a good chance of losing some libido and gyno but I'm willing to risk it if there's also a good chance of it working for my hair without major sides!
Anyone?
