I first started minoxidil 5% for about 7 months. After noticing that all it did was grow peach fuzz, vellus hairs, I added 1mg of finasteride everyday (inhouse pharma). After about a couple of weeks, I decided to just get rid of the minoxidil altogether and go on finasteride alone.
At this point my hairline near the right-temple started to recede so I got back on minoxidil and added nizoral and miconazole nitrate a little later on (I really noticed a lot more vellus hairs after adding this).
As of last month, I added folligen in the hopes of making those vellus hairs turn terminal; however it's still too early on to gauge whether it's working or not.
My problem is that my routine has grown so expensive that I need to cut down and go with what works. Should I drop finasteride since it's not working and buy dutas instead; or should I invest in getting some RU58841?
I would appreciate any help
Edit: I'm a diffuse thinner and my hair line has remained intact for the most part, except near the right temple. Also, if it helps to know, my hair started to thin out 5 years ago around the same time that I had been using nizoral for dandruff.
