it's just not working!

2 unsuccessful years on propecia and now 7 months on avodart plus minoxidil and my hair just gets thinner and thiner - there's so much hair on my hands when i add the minoxidil. I just want my hair loss to stop!!!!! :(

Join the club. I have been on the same regimen for longer than you and my hair also gets thinner and thinner each year. These treatments are only a speed bump to aggressive hair loss and I do not think they will give or even maintain a thick head of hair for many people for that long.

I have become desperate and I am going to start taking 100 mg oral spironolactone every morning in addition to my .5 mg dutasteride at night. Hopefully this will once and for all put an end to my hair loss problems.

so depressing! does your scalp itch? i really thought dutasteride would do the trick. 2.5mg ed seems the last option but dont know how i'd get or afford that much.

Yes, my scalp itches. I do not think increasing your dutasteride dose will help, even if you could afford it. It might in fact make matters worse as the raise in testosterone may be a factor in your continual hair loss. Either accept that you are going to go bald, or take drastic steps like me with the oral spironolactone.

Im in the same boat, been on finasteride 2+ years now, and just put a dime sized bit of gel in my hair after my shower and could barely see my hand with all the hair i had on it.

Thin , whispy, dry dead straw hair now .

Its on my mind all day now, every time i get the least bit happy about something it just comes blasting in my mind making me feel horrible.
