My Current Situation-11 Month Dutasteride+2 Month Oral Minoxidil

Hi friends.I'm a 24 year old male who's been dealing with androgenetic alopecia since the age of 17.I was diagnosed at the age of 17 and didn't take action due to scare-mongering online about drugs except for topical minoxidil.My case is a diffuse thinning,however I was losing ground slowly.In April 2020 I started 0.5 mg dutasteride everyday,then in September 2020,I increased my dose to 2.5 mg per day and since then I've been on 2.5 mg dutasteride per day.2 month ago I started taking 10 mg oral minoxidil and im side-effect free at the moment.I will ad ru58841 to my regimen as well.I think oral minoxidil is a pretty strong medication especially at 10 mg.Do you think it can completely help me fully recover all signs of androgenetic alopecia in a year or so ? Btw sometimes I take a picture of my vertex and it looks full.Then a day later i take another photo with the same phone and same quality and in the same place,same lighting etc,it looks as if my vertex got worse overnight.What might be the reason ?

Sorry but without photos of hairloss at 17, I don't know why you have such an aggressive treatment at your age with all that hair. Hopefully you don't have any desire to have children and if that is the case then go aggressive if it makes you happy.

Why on earth would you start at 10mg oral minoxidil with a full head of hair? Especially when people get good regrowth from doses as low as 0.25mg...
